Talking

Havn't we spoke about this somewhere before. LOL!

The APEXI.I have fitted.

Seems to do the business.

HKS also do one.

Unfortuanately,

I think most electronic Boost controllers.

After fitting/mapping.

Will bring you slightly over budget.

Never liked DAWES myself.

Been There. Me no likey.

Some do though.

Steve.

AVC-R has the facility to pull the boost up, earlier spool, allows you to run full boost in lower gears if you wish as well as being a boost controller.
Can also show, in varios forms, three or four other bits of useful info and replay facility. Boost, RPM, Solenoid Duty Cycle and so on. Self learn mode and two map facility.
You might persuade Simon at Roger Clarks to part with one for £360+vat or look on some of the U.S sites where they are cheaper if you do not mind the minor hassle of importing yourself. Or just shop around in "Wanted."
On a recent group buy I know that Alan Garrod got one for under £300, Luck barsteward.

Yup. £240 delivered to door. Smashin' piece o' kit.

There was one up for grabs a wee while ago secondhand. Think it went for little over 200.

£375 is a keen price for a one off all in.
Alan: Do you know where the group buy came from. Might be possible for these guys to tag on the back of it, you jammy swine.

Let me know when you find the cheapest source. At the right money I am interested in one for another car to go with the TD15 Andy Forrest is building for me.
How about contacting the last group buy for the source and doing our own repeat mini group buy???
