Question

Ok,

I have got my99 PPP.

Just say for example that i was offered a good deal on an apexi front mounted ic Would it be worth my time having one fitted?

Now bear in mind that eventually I may be wanting to upgrade other components such as programmable ecu, turbo, injectors...etc is this in all honestly going to be worth it and will it be ok on my standard ppp settings?

As far as I can see all it can do is good by lowering intake temps and no harm can come of it at this point but I am posting to ask for your opinion? I appreciate that i wont get the maximum benefit until the ecu can be tailored to use it.

I know the ecu may be the first thing to go for but say i could get this ic now, is it going to do any harm?

Cheers

Paul.

Get it m8, won`t do any harm
When mine was fitted i swapped back to the std ECU for a couple of weeks and had no probs with it. (Pace FMIC) So reinstalled the link
once i was happy.
