Are they interchangable ? Just supposing i had bought another rev3 pfc without a commander but really wanted one, could i just buy one from the net/fleabay/a member and it would work with the unit ?

Think most of the Toyota ones are interchangeable - pretty sure JZA80 one works with SW20/ST205

i think* all the 3sgte versions, including both the SW20 / ST185 AP Engineering and also the ST205 AP Engineering Power FC use the FC Commander part number 415-A030.

You need a 'datalogit' to connect to a laptop.

As far as I'm aware you can tweek maps via the commander but it's hard work and easy to make a costly mistake.

Yeah ^ what he said, actually remembering some details from keiths pfc days are they not a NZ or OZ based company ? Is this kind of equipment still readily available to purchase new ? Answering my own question here, maybe should have checked first..£214.48 inc delivery, would there be duty on this as well possibly ?

It will definitely be liable for duty, depends whether it gets caught.

My experience of late is that more and more packages are getting caught for charges.

Some places will mark down the value but that can cause real headaches for the exporting business with their Tax agencies and also it can cause a big problem if the item goes astray as often it then won't be properly insured.

If it was Phil borrowed it, I guess he still has it. I'll ask on Sunday.

Is the colour significant? I guess there is a few different versions.
