Question Apexi fc ECU

Having upgrade the brakes and soon the suspension on my uk98 turbo, iam considering an apexifc ecu with remap. Only mods to engine so far are magnex de-cat centre and b/b and green panel filter , so its probably making in the region of 220-225bhp with similar torque at present. What wouuld the figures rise to with the apexi? Anyone whos had this mod done in the past, has it been reliable in the long term?? Cheers. Matt

Not to hijack the thread but on the commander under the sensor/sw check, what does the PGS sensor relate to? and if it is flashing does that indicate a fault?

I got 236 hp/320nm@-1.0bar with PowerFC There is no mapper in here so I'm trying to figure out it myself but I'm sure that even the OEM Ecu will give this result may be even more.

banny sti, I think it is about the Purge Air Solenoid valve which PowerFC dont use it. So nothing to worry about.

Yeah, i think it should be more like 265-270bhp when installed and mapped properly- somebody on here must know!
