if you have a 97 car as your name suggests you cannot remap the ecu, version 3 & 4 need an aftermarket ecu. hope this is of help.

Your question is confusing: the Commander is an add-on for an A'PEXi PowerFC ECU. The A'PEXi Coommander isnt a stand alone device.

As stated, the OEM ECU cant be 're-mapped'; so replacement is your only option (unless ESL/Scott Taylor have made some progress).

Ive been looking at similar. Seems there are a few apexi' ecu's going.

are they dual map, and mafless etc?

Andy F seems to be able to do one including a map for 800 quid.. ?

The commander is a plug in for the ecu which allows you to change settings and monitor stuff.
The ECU is all you need but I also got the commander and it was pretty cool

Andy Forest and Simon Roe used to offer very similar prices, so Id expect that they still do. Simon will be able to offer the PowerFC without the Commander if you wish.

one map, but if you have the boost control kit then you will be able to switch between 4 boost settings.
