hey guys, looking for something to replace my stock ecu so i can up the boost to around 10 or so without it hitting hard rich mixtures caused by the stock ecu, would this be a good replacement? what exactly will it do?

Its an early model Link (currently also sold as Vipec). It should enable all the usual: tune afrs, timing, eliminate speed limit, reset rev limit etc. You can probably get any specific questions answered by the factory:

do some reading and find out what you are buying and how much it will cost to install, setup and tune

do the same for the apexi powerfc - as per my sig, the powerfc faq has everything you need to know

yeah be aware the tuner cable is not longer available for these so you need to make sure your tuner can tune it, i have a few customers i have reffered to AVO here in melbourne as they are the only ones with the cable / handset... as it was discontinued years ago and is no longer supported.

Good ecu, just need the handset, but i see your in berwick so AVO will be able to tune it and they are fairly local (moorabin).

i have no idea with ecus, is there anything else that is readily available and easily tunable on the market? thats cheap? whats the cheapest option to go for? im not trying to get awesome power, i simply want to run 10psi without it running rich.

honestly most places charge 650-850 for a tune regardless of ecu so that ecu @ 450 + 650 is about the cheapest option around. Ring AVO and get a qoute for a tune and you will soon see what it will owe you in total.

do AVO supply ecus? obviously as an extra charge...

only the link G4 ecu's share the same hardware as the vipecs (or which ever way round you want to put it) the earlier model links are/were only sold as link

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
