Default Autronic sm4 questions

Im in the process of removing all the bits I don't need from the old set up,ecu, loom etc,
I know the sm4 will use all the engine sensors(i.e. the ones that are physically fitted the engine itself) but does it use the ignition amps and map sensor guessing not but don't want to flog it all only to find that I need it/them

Also does it have its own boost control? if so is it any good? if not what sort of thing should i be looking for?

Mine use's a different air temp and water temp sensors ( they some come with the ecu)
They have a built in Map sensor, think its 5 bar so you won't need a external one.
They need a ignition amp which looks like a Cosworth one so find out before you sell that.
Mine has a autronic boost controller and I'm sure mark recommends them.
Also make sure it's on the lastest chip version 1.09

Thanks for that,
I did have a look at the loom but couldn't see a plug for the ignition amp so fuck knows what the deal is with that then will have to send mark another pm then but really didn't want to keep bothering him with my stupid questions

Looms are built for particular applications so asking the question you did wont get you the correct answer . Im sure i checked your loom but i do so many i cant remember what you had .
CDI, 4 COIL, COP, WS all have different Looms. Boost control is usually wired for Autronic Solenoid with switched Hi/Low in the car but again it varies. Also a Big Turbo loom wont work on a Small Turbo set-up.
You should also have a Tacho Adaptor in the Loom a R, Y, bk & W wires will be visible if you have, not all applications will require it.
All looms i did came with a Circuit Diagram for each application.
