    Ehh please search kind sir. The SAFC is not the best way to go if you are turboing an NA.

    But in general, if you are going to turbo your Galant, YOU NEED some sort of fuel management. The SAFC would work but there are far better options out there. When this post was created 3 years ago, it was by far the easiest choice for tuning and not much else out there was better for the price .... kinda.
    7g for life!

    There is a MAFT translator which can be purchased for around $250-$300. You should though need to purchase a GM MAF to replace the Mitsubishi MAF. The newer generation MAFT's allow more tuning options compared to just a SAFC. This also allows you to "vent to the atomosphere" rather than recirculating the vented air back. I could explain MAFT pro to you..but I would rather you read about it by the people that developed it themselves.

    MAFT Pro

    Also you can EPROM the ECU...if your particular ECU has a EPROM chip. This is a old and common but yet still VERY EFFECTIVE ecu modification. Basically you would take it to someplace that specializes in EPROM ECU modifications and reprograms the ECU. The stock ECU will only work within its paremeters...once you do modifications that is beyond the ECU limits, your modifications are useless. Basically whoever EPROM's your ECU will take account what modifications done to the motor and inputs new parameters to where the ECU recognizes them like if were programmed from the factory. This results basically your modifications giving you the results you expected.

    Or you can always install a Piggyback system like a Greddy Emage or AEM but for the DSM/Mitsubishi camp, most usually resort to MAFTpro, DSMlink, or Heavily modified EPROM ECU's or Reflashes.
