esl board for sure, the other options are very expensive unless your planning track time. apexi works fine but is old tech now.

yes i agree, but its overkill for a road car really. its fine if you want the best and want all the features and moneys no object but esl now has anti lag and launch control and a list of other features. its the same on a newage, you can have the expensive options or use ecutek or carberry rom which again gives you features like A/L and L/C. i would only use the expensive options on a high powered highly modified car which would need/exploit the options that syveccs etc offer.

This is a little disheartening. I'm a bit fed up with waiting on ESL to ever finish their Motorsport functions. I had planned to sell mine and order an Alcatek, however it looks like their communication is as bad or worse than ESL. So how is the Syvecs ecu and support? And who would be the best to talk to about shipping one across the pond to me?
