I've read of a few people that have these fitted.
Note, until two weeks ago, there was not a bug free Link ECU in existance for the new age car.
The main bug is interference from the ignition system causing major injector pulse problems. This is especially prevelant at anything over 1 bar.
The latest spec ECU has all known problems addressed and is excellent. BUT these was only available 2 weeks ago. If you have an older unit, contact your supplier.

Until they re-worked everything 3 weeks ago, there were none anywhere that worked correctly. NZ included.
Once they had addressed the problems, from the data Bob and I generated, it was tested in NZ and Bob Rawle got the first correct production board out of them, which is in my car
If you have booked in with BRD for one, they will now be able to give you a date.

I just did the driving M8, the credit is all Bob's.
The end result???
Awesome. The first thing you notice is that an inch of accelerator pedal travel is like 90% pedal travel in the standard car. Full pedal is unbelievable, but seldom needed.
As for spool up, I have retained the 04, so it is as quick as the boost gauge needle can move. I have a bar by 2600 and 1.28 at about 2800. This holds until around 6,000 and then starts to drop off.
Its slightly quicker than Knowlsey's car, most noticeable in 5th, and he has 285bhp.
"Turn and squirt" driving on country lanes is EXACTLY how it should be

Pete, thanks glad to hear its behaving so well.
My car is coming along nicely thanks dave!
Mods such as these always take their time.
Pat is currently mid building me a new loom for the pectel, plus we were having problems making sure it have enough outputs to drive things like aircon etc.
Its all coming together now, and hopefull i should be up and running true wide band lambda launch control and antilag within a month to six weeks.
