ive just had a life f88 fitted and mapped to my rs turbo running 60lb siemens deka 4s . with closed loop boost and the adaptive knock control and wide band etc etc its transformed the throttle response and running , was previously on a p8 with waisted spark etc , the life racing soft ware is very good .
Very little out there better than Life ( who make Syvecs ). Their F88R would be equivalent to an S8, although they also do the F88 in lower spec/cost too which can make it slightly more affordable if it's only on a 4cyl engine.
Or Syvecs S6 is another good alternative at lower cost.
And their safety features ( with appropriate sensors fitted ) are second to none.
But on a more modest budget, Link would be fine too. Link used to make ViPec which were almost identical, so if people were happy with it they should be fine with Link.
