I make that £397 at today's commercial exchange rate but by the times youve added duties it will be £514 plus the carrier's admin fee and the cost of carriage.

I think that when you allow for the cost of expert mapping then Andy Forrest's price of £750 (+£80 for the Commander) is difficult to beat. Remember that the standard settings on the PFC will destroy your engine on UK fuel as soon as it comes on boost...

I just read the thread carefully and the issue appears to be tardy delivery rather than dishonesty; the bloke always delivers your stuff but never when he says.

The boost and ignition settings are way too 'big' for Uk fuel; I think that they come with STI V settings but Im not certain. This is very much second hand knowledge (I prefer to call it anecdotal...), Ive seen this confirmed by a couple of respected mappers though, so Im happy enough to post it here.
