[Mk2] [Turbo] Link Storm or Atom

[C35Rob]

720 for the link G4+?

plugin, yes.. link must be pushing them hard with dealers, I've seen a few places discounting them recently - seen a couple of supplied/fitted/mapped for a grand etc

Gah, mother flubber! Just paid £924 + mapping for mine.

That's a great price!

Yeah I can't wait , the guy seems really well respected,
One thing though that he said he's going to do, opposed to
Fitting a switch in the cabin to go between low and high
Boost. He's going to work it off my throttle, so that anything
Below 3/4 gas it will run of the actuator and anything over
3/4 will be full boost.

Is this a good way of doing it ? , the way he explained it seemed
Smart "won't hit full boost on low throttle out of a roundabout in the wet"
Etc, still learning ....

If his skills are good enough to make the switch of maps seamless then sounds like a great idea.

Whenever do you need full boost if you are not at WOT?

[JLW]

Yeah, I do see the argument, just not heard it being done that way before.
Anyway its booked in on the 5th so I will be able to report back a few days after when I collect.

Someone else mentioned that its not worth installing a aftermarket ECU
unless I'm changing the Turbo and fuelling, is this true ?

Surely getting it mapped on the CT20 to over 300 flywheel, getting used to that
then in the future going for a larger or hybrid Turbo and better fuelling isn't
a bad idea ?

Standalone does have a benefit even on stock fuelling / turbo, it's just pretty expensive for not a huge gain over the stock ECU plus a boost controller. If in the future you move to bigger injectors etc then you need a standalone because the stock ECU has no way of knowing what injectors are fitted and your fuelling would be all wrong.

[JLW]

For me going from 260bhp to 300+ is a big enough gain to justify
The price, also along with the better drive ability etc.
In the future I do aim to go with bigger turbo etc, 1k all
In is a great price for the storm fitted and mapped.

So dropped the car of to Walton at Nispro on monday,
looking forward to getting it back. Not the best time off the year
for this sort of work lol, but to good a deal to pass up !

[androo007]

Make sure you get the launch control enabled

[JLW]

Don't worry, he has. But only a one stage launch control
Because I don't have ABS / ABS hubs to read a 2 stage.

have a look on my build thread, just updated with the new power figures etc
