Just my opinion (based on others experiences) simtek is ****e on newages! £1k with lumpy idle for pops and bangs (that will get boring after 1month)....don't make sense to me.

I have to agree with h. Simteks are clever but mine was mapped by one of the best mappers and still abit lumpy on idle, otherwise it's brilliant no other problems at all.

I love my simtek, Normal idle is better than the standard ecu, AntiLag is fun when you want some pop's and bangs when you want attention. Having maps on a switch is nice and easy change too. IF its mapped properly it doesn't just pop and bang but totally changes how the car drives when on anti lag, mine is totally different.
