I have the full APEXI AVCR set up by FB Tuning and I love it.

I've also had the later map sensor/simtek set up and that was pretty good too when set up correctly by Simon JGM

I've not tried ESL as it was still pretty basic when I bought the Apexi, however the new version seems pretty impressive and if doing it all again (as said before) I'd go ESL

have to agree m8. i bought my apexi an commander from this site from averyp2p and it is a good bit of kit. at the time esl was available but didnt have the features it does now so i went with the apexi. i also liked the idea of the commander for monitoring knock etc. i think its possible to hook up a tablet to the esl and have gauges to monitor boost etc. the big thing for me is there is no knock correction on the apexi which i know esl has. im tempted every time i see an esl board for sale to buy it and get it fitted. esl also does 3d boost mapping which negates the need for an avc-r

Make sure you get the solenoid, map sensor, AVCR and the loom. You will need your mapper to solder in a couple of wires from the AVCR loom into the ECU loom. Sounds like a big deal but it's not
Sometimes you have to snip the clip off the AVCR unit too get it through the firewall so that would need solder and heat shrink too. ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

On a side note, ive never really understood the twin map of the newer ESL, i mean, if your driving along and traffic light grand prix scenario occurs LOL, you would need to turn ignition off, tap throttle twice or whatever the sequence is then get going LOL all a bit of a faf, unless you can wire in a live swap over of maps ???
i can see its use in a road/track car but not anything else

Twin maps can be used for different fuels, one for 95 ron and another for 99. Or one for 99ron and another for a meth mix.
Maff less is also avaliable, 3d boost mapping so no boost controller is needed and you can also have anti lag and launch. Again, these can be put on a seperate map..
Can't see any scope for the PFC, its very basic. 10 years ago it was a great option but now there are better options which are more cost effective.

Unless you want to spend more to get less, there isn't a single reason to fit a PFC.
From Nengun; PFC £685. AVCR to control boost £367.
ESL £295.
What you DON'T get for spending an extra £757:
Closed Loop Knock Control.
Twin Maps (full, not offsets).
Switchable Speed Density load (MAFless) with AIT compensations.
OEM idle cruise and hot/cold starting compensations.
Diagnostic test codes.
Brand New Windows software
Comprehensive online documentation.
New for 2012 domestic product with excellent customer support
Furthermore:
ESL Cable Dongle and software: £75.
Datalogit cable and software £186.

Instant map switching is something we are working on in conjunction with the motorsport features but don't forget this is a fully featured ECU with alot of learned data, which might not be appropriate to carry over on an instantaneous switch, especially if it is a dual fuel car.

I'm writing the secure update routines so ECUs can be updated in the field without having to RTB but also a little busy with a three week old at the minute lol.
The older boards are physically different so 92/6 v2.0 and all 97/8 boards will be upgradable.
Cheers

It's up to the OP how he spends his dosh but when ESL is cheaper than the boost controller you need for the PFC the upgrade route should be obvious IMHO.
You should come over for a go in the demo sometime mate, its got a McLaren F1 quarter mile in it now, not bad for 5k

thanks for the video andy, pity the gasket went. i too have pfc and im still considering fitting esl and selling on the pfc. could i fit an android tablet or similar on dash and connect to the esl and have gauges to monitor boost etc? i take it with the dongle etc you can do data logging on a lap top?
