Hey Killbill,

Subject to your pictures and of course price, I will be interested in buying it from you.

I have done a bit of fishing around with the compatibility of your Apexi and even though it was mapped in January by Track Hound (as you say), the map will be specifically to your car, and your car only. My V4 Type R has had a few mods, like a front mount, de-cat etc and is running a standard OEM ECU (don't know how, but it is!), so a I will need to get your Apexi re-mapped specifically for the running of my car, so have to take that into consideration when buying this unit from you - hope you understand.

A Re-Map is going to cost me £200 or a little bit more, so how about £350 ?

Most mappers wouldn't offer to tweak a map that someone else has done because of different mapping styles so it's best to start again. Being the opposite end of the country sadly means that your mapper couldn't tweak it for him to suit his car

also though, when you buy an ecu or the like you expect to have to get it mapped for your specific car anyway though, you dont haggle someone down as it will need mapped LOL cmon

That's it and I just told him the other bits he needs before a map ie fuel pump, boost controller and downpipe

I know the ecu well and I run one and it's great for what you pay

It's just a map sensor and boost solenoid that's controlled by the ECU isn't it instead of the separate boost controller that I use. I've never seen or used one
