costs depend on what you do and where you get it

i have full ofac with 15psi chip etc etc the lot for 250 posted then get the frst inlet, say a tenner usually cos 2i are same
the cps system off a 1.8 cvh, to add the cps to the pulley again say a tenner add a bit of machining say a score

then a few odds and sods

if you sell ur meterhead, old ecu (esp is chipped) and all the other bits you no longer need it dont really cost that much

Use what ever management you want.

Aftermarket stuff is user friendly as they are designed to be mapped easily where as the Ford stuff is designed to be mapped by them only and is encrypted heavily which restricts you to tuners who can work round that. Cossie management is just Webber Marrelli and most tuners can map that although some are better than others.

Aftermarket systems are most flexible with more options to run things like air to air boost control and mapped boost control, closed loop boost and fueling (sensors measure and auto correct the fueling/boost) anit-lag, water injection, coil packs, launch control, traction control etc etc...

How big is your bank balance and how far do you want to go is the question you want to be asking yourself...

Fitting it all is a different matter....

What price range are we talking about when you buy a management system you describe, and what brand is best to use?
