Default management

as we all know there is lot of different options with rst management,

mfi
ofab/c
cossie
emerald
omex
gotech
autronic
etc


but in terms of performance and relaiblity/per£ what would everyone go for - cossie does seems a good option.

All comes down to how much you want to spend i suppose?

You get what you pay for.

Another consideration may be does the resale value of the parts matter to you ?

I went for cossie for the following reasons.

1) it can be mapped by a large number of tuners which gives you many more options.
2) Due to reason number 1 the parts have a high second hand value which ensures that should you break the car you can recover most of the cost.
3) The parts will sell easily second hand as cossie and CVH turbo owners will be interested

Have you seen how much a L8 with pectel board is still worth ?
What about pectel monitors they still are worth decent money second hand ?
-- This suggests the parts are still in heavy demand.

Cossie may not be the cheapest solution out of the box, but it is a proven performer and probably the management system that devalues the least and is the easiest to sell on.

The question that needs to be asked is how much it will cost to get a base map put on the autronic and can your prefered tuner do this ?.
