Boost controller question

It's 2 hours labour and you have to remember that when you refer to it as 'just connecting a couple of wires', it's actually a bit more than that.
We have to site and mount the valve, and pipe it up, which on some cars is a real arse and also mount the unit.
When you're doing it yourself it's OK to just chuck it in, but as a proper reputable garage, we can't do that.
Apexi AVC-R's have about 6-8 wires to connect, into the main ECU loom. They all vary. We fit lots and get no complaints from the Jap boys about what we charge.

We charge £100 for the fitting of it and £55-100 in Dyno time if the customer wants us to set it up.

I suppose it depends on how confident you are really, took me about 2 hrs to fit my AVC-R and SAFC including wiring up etc...............
But I agree if you dont know what your doing its best to take it to someone to fit

not sure on ecu... but the turbo of choice would be a GT35 or maybe a GT3076, ran with a rebuilt standard head and a set of 272's
i had toyed with the idea of pushing the standard ecu along a bit further with an FP green turbo...
lots of options available but before i decide i'd like to have a ride in a few cars... see how they compare to my expectations.

so with an apexi avc-r you have to wire this up to the ecu ? Is this something you have to do and why ? or is it optional ?
