when i get mine on, i will get running 5.5psi with the vafc, call me slow, but i dont want to blow it 
Man, you are SO PARANOID!! How many times do I have to reinterate that you can run 10psi with the blue box?? If you're just going to run 5.5psi, why spend the extra money?? I don't get people like you and don't think you should be giving advice to people that want to go fast when you just want to be slow and safe. Fast is dangerous, so if you don't want it, stay at stock boost.

Not $200 more. A LOT MORE. When you think that with both setups you have to get new injectors, so don't worry about that price. V-AFC = $300 and S-AFC = $280.
You might be able to get a Hondata chip for $400-$500, but you have to get it on, have it tuned, buy the extra adapters and such. And why is it more reliable than the hack? I haven't heard of anyone blowing their motor with the hack on a D16 unless they ran crazy boost - BoostedED9 on the TurboD16 Forum ran 16psi with a head gasket on stock internals and blew it running 20psi. I think that speaks for itself.
