Default Apexi VAFC Self Install

Did anyone ever install this themselves i printed the instructions it doesnt look to difficult? Any thoughts on this are cool. Can i run my car with the VAFC wired but not tuned?

To answer your second question...

I've heard that you can run the VAFC untuned and it won't affect anything... until you start playing with it that is.

So if you are planning more mods in the future and just want to hook it up so you won't have to do it later... go ahead and do it

the thing that tells me that its broken is that the buttons are ligting up, so the unit is getting power but the LCD isnt on. can it still be a wiring problem?
