safc2.... is there a how to yet?

I've been searching the forums for a while trying to find if there is a good how to instalation for the safc2 on here. i didnt really find anything. i saw one diagram, but Luckydoggarage said it was wrong... anyway if anybody has installed this and would share some info on how they did it that would be great!
I'm installing a water/meth setup and i'm using the safc along side that to get some gains from the setup.

thanks everybody!

Getting the diagrams for the SAFC2 is like finding the holy grail or torturing someone who has it. There are a few people on here that have it but it would prolly cost ya. Why should they spend all their time trying to figure the pin out just so someone can get it easy.....

wow...haha

If it were me that figured it out i would post it in a heart beat... but maybe I'm weird for liking to help people out...

one of the things i like most about the "mini community" is how much everybody helps each other out. i guess there are some exceptions.



so if there is anybody with information that they would want to share that would be awesome! thanks!

This is incorrect. Although the pins are described correctly and the SAFC/AFC NEO works the pressure signal is wrong and the car runs bad.

I also get every time I start up the car an error with a ground related situation on the pressure sensor channel. So.... does not work !

of course! right now its just cool being able see everything.

But yes i plan on having it professionally tuned with the water/meth setup..

and i'll also have another tune on there that will make everything stock. so if i dont have the water/meth i can switch the tune to the factory settings.
