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

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
