i'm exploring all possibilities of engine management for my GTI6 turbo, today i spoke to Dastek just to see what theyhad to say and i was told to keep my existing ecu, and go with a unichip to control bigger injectors and to alter the ignition curve and to also control boost. The guy said there is no reason why it wouldnt work It just seems a bit too easy to me to be true...anyone got any thoughts? |

...does Vems not use Megasquirt software, or at least have some kind of connection with MS? |

aye standalones much better but this is a budget build and am not looking for huge figures. accordingto what ive learnt, the standard ecu wont work with turbo as it wont realise positive inlet pressure although, i managed to get in touch with a chap in brazil who had a xsara vts turbo running silly power with a remapped magneti ecu and big injectors. i tried for 2 weeks to get in touch with wayne but either he doesnt exist or he's too busy to take calls... |

He's an absolute night mate to get hold of as you can imagine he gets pestered all the time with people that are not genuinely wanting his services and he is busy all the time!! He would charge £400-500 I'd imagine so maybe better just going omex route an get Dave to doing as not far to go or that ________________________________________ In my garage just now2003 BMW M3 & 2009 L200 Raging Bull & Audi Q5 S Line AX stock rod & Saxo Stock rod Sold the bike an charged rallye an bought a caravan, midlife crisis or what! |

thats exactly what i'm thinking, Dave quoted me 400 to map omex or similar, Simon of Sitech racingquoted me approx 250 and persuaded me to go for the newer versions of megasquirt as he has plenty of experience with it. both of these people are 30 mins or so away from me, Sitech have lots of previous with fords whereas SOS know 16v turbo'd pugs inside out |

DTA preferably, but then again I'm biased and you did say it was a budget build. Is there such a thing as a turbo budget build?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

can Dastek do sequential spark and injection?VEMS is just megasquirt pro built with a bigger price tag, you can get a plug and play DTA omex etc if you want. Wayne as far as I know is unavailable for mapping at the moment and might be moving premises afaik. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
