The APC is what allows the car to run 12-15psi, regardless of fuel grade, while preventing knock. It consists of the APC control box, knock sensor, solenoid valve, and a few other bits and pieces. If you remove it, you'll have to set the turbo's maximum boost to say 8psi, to be on the safe side. What anti-pollution measures are you referring to? -- Grunff
