There's VAFC's that pop up in the for sale section pretty often. As for tuning, I'd recommend Blacktrax. I've had my VAFC tuned there a few times, and will be going to them once I get my greddy EMU installed.

here's one FS. VAFC2+plug n play harness:

And an APEX'i NEO + harness

Ask for Brandon @ Redzone Performance (pretty close to the south bay: Fremont)

He has tuned plenty of S2K's. My car on the AEM EMS which made 507whp, Angel (db2MexiCAN) who made 235whp on the VAFC2, he just retuned Angel's car again except on AEM EMS and a few new things

Very reputable tuner and has tuned numerous cars. There was also a 600whp N/A powered NSX built by Comptech. One of the few tuners who takes his time to ensure everything runs the way it should.

He street tuned my car, then dyno tuned the car. This was all with a 3" resonated exhaust. My goal was only 450whp, but 500whp was the final verdict! Brandon does amazing work. He will also be tuning the J's Racing/N1 Concepts car very soon!

*Tell him Ben sent you for the S2Ki discount!*

Good luck!
