both control boost..

how is the car already mafless? do you have management on it already.

SimTek works out cheaper and has more features..

before becoming a SimTek dealer I did an assessment on one of my own car and the SimTek wiped the floor with other MAP based ecus for the money + a fair bit more (which included the LinkG3)

Much as Simon said at post #4.
After my first Simtek, I considered the Link as an alternative on a second vehicle. I went to see the Link distributors with all the info they had provided but came to the conclusion that I was better off with the cheaper Simtek, something I am now very happy to have done, even with the benefit of hind sight.
I am now looking at a third Simtek for a third vehicle to replace a Motec M800!!!

I am not sure you need antilag for road applications unless you are happy to spend the extra money to enjoy pops and bangs. It also shortens turbo life expectancy.
