Ok cool! thats good news. Spoeg was fitted by Rotrix in PTA and tuned by dyno logic, but its not working. Car miss fired the whole way home and friday and now it wont start.

So they need to come fetch the car remove the spits and just rewire my stock ecu!
Im not worried, i havnt payed for anything yet and ive got the car at home.

One good thing about the Spitronics is the money back satisfaction guarantee, I use them on the Toyota 1UZ.

You can't go wrong with the Apexi, Steve also do Haltech, the link G4 would be a good choice but not everybody knows how to map them, Rezlo seems to be the only one I have come across so far.

I say pick what ever your tuner is best with.

P.S
What about Supertest, don't they do Motec or Microtech successfully on the rotaries?

Quick update!

Managed to get the car to KAR in kempton for a power run.

Last time I took it there just after I got the car it made 241whp, today after a decat and a great tune by Dyno logic on the fantastic Spoegtronics the car made a HUGE 190whp!!!

WTF...... some cars dont even make the 51whp I lost! :evil:

As I said, it WILL be coming out and replaced by the stock ecu for now while I wait for the Microtech and then off to AJ or super test!

any management system in the world can do the basic job of running an engine.. but its only as good as the wanker (sorry i mean tuner) installing it and tuning it.. funny how they always blame the system :)
