Thanks for the reply. It was following my last RR (not at a GEM's specialist though) that the operator suggested I look into an aftermarket boost control device, perhaps electronic, to replace the stock solenoid valve. Just hoped there were gizmo's around that didn't all cost Apexi Power FC money or similar.[]

Am I expecting too much? Does anyone use any more localised talent to tweak/ remap their GEM's ecu's. Andy Forrest suggested Dastek, are there any others about in the North East? Thanks in advance.

The boost gauge is a low rent dial gauge, and no I don't have any separate air fuel gauges or additional knock link. Mine is a UK 97 Classic; front mount, GEM's implant ecu board with the anti-lag (takes manifold absolute pressure - not MAF), plus usual Walpro, fse, yellow injectors, and I believe a stock IHI turbo, 'turbo back' decat system. I know that the boost is currently subject to the stock solenoid type valve - and perhaps could help if changed - but to what & without spending Apexi money?[:$]

Anything with orange oil! - Removes grease and sticky residues (no rude thoughts please) and kind to the ol' paintwork.

That was quick! Sounds good - but what device is it and how is it fitted (engine bay/ dash)? Yes I have a boost gauge - but no idea how accurate it is.[:$] Thanks.

Hello, Could anyone suggest a suitable replacement 'aftermarket' boost controller - perhaps Turbosmart product or similar - preferably one you have fitted or did fit - on a pre 1998 Classic?????
