Come on Hap:
I read the below, you've made my point.  Put another way, even with all those 
guages, a high budget, a car built by a decent shop, and a Hawaiin shirted 
pilot at the helm, ck engine lights come forth with a non integrated controller. 
 My thinking is that any/all/one of the below could potentially be engine 
life threatening, especially the engine retard function...  .  All of ck engine 
lights are expost facto, again my point with a non integrated controller.  
Bottom line the controller has been too agressive in it's tunnel vision, and with 
only a change in altitude, will continue to do so.

In the world of glide ratios, I say miss piggy is much easier to land with 
prop attached.

I have all the functions that you assume I no longer have since I use the 
Apexi. I still get check engine lights, MAF airflow overspeed cut, and 
ignition 
retard protection just to mention a few I have experienced when using the 
controller and exceeding a parameter. I keep a very close eye on a lot of 
engine 
parameters with boost pressure, EGT, wideband digital air/fuel ratio gauges 
plus 
the stock gauges. Besides I'm a very sensitive 21st Century kind of guy and 
really pay close attention to my Baby.
