apexi afc?

I was looking for an afc (air/fuel converter/controller) for the protege and i stumbled across this:

"Are there any ECU (PCM) upgrades for the Protegé?
Piggy back systems are available to wire in to a stock ECU such as an
APEXi S-AFC. These systems will not work effectively due to Mazda's ECU
designs. At normal partial throttle operations, the AFC units will7
successfully fool the ECU to supply a different air/fuel mixture. However,
at full throttle, the ECU has it's own presets to override whatever input
data is sent. The only solution to this is to get a complete aftermarket
ECU replacement, such as an Haltech. Which is the ideal ECU for the BPT engine"

on a protege site, someone say it aint so.
has anyone tried an afc?
was it sucessful?
will it be a waste on money getting one?
help

Couldnt you just get the Auto TPS from the DOHC motor and put it on so the afc can see variable TPS positions.

DO NOT waste your money on an AFC...only way to go is Haltech if you want computerized fuel control
