First thing you need to grasp is that it's a family of engine managements with many different hardware, firmware and software options. It's really good if you know which combination is best performance/buck for you.

I've been running the ~100€ kits for ~5 years and it's been perfect for me. The firmware has taken giant leeps from a few years back and it wasn't bad even then.

Thanks jesset
I think it's the way i'm gonna go want to try and do the hole conversion my self so the more diy it gets the better.
Think a lot of tuners get a bit greedy in the ford rs world. would rather do it my self than line the pockets of the money grabbing W4Nk3R5.

what you need to remember is that these system normally come with no map, and unless you have done so befor can be quite tricky even getting a base map right. even then you really need a rolling road to set it up 100%

What do you do when you get toothache ? Dentists charge a fortune too, but they invest in the right equipment to do the job right. Of course you can buy a drill and a pair of pliers and have a go yourself but the pain you end up with is often worse than paying a qualified person to sort your problem out
