fai17

Thanks Grant

<< Just to add, my Gems was on a classic (my98) so i cant comment on running on a newage, as the newer ecu has more functions than the one i had. But even then, Cold start was a nightmare, hot start was a nightmare. Idle would vary, boost would sometimes not hit target, and then othertimes go way over target... Yes, you get lots of pops/bangs/flames...But not worth paying the extra money, and having the extra hassle just for that. Although, mine was only ever mapped by one mapper. As you said m8 you can was only mapped by one mapper. What if your car was mapped perfectly...would you be happy with it then? With no hot or cold start issues..would you be happier still? So give the GEMS ECU a chance and it can perform. As for Anti-lag, it worked extremely well on my car, never once had an issue when braking. >> I recon the mapper done it different on some cars. Just ask Squirrell about ANTILAG things

I don't think you need one as the GEMS ECU already do that for you. What peak boost are you running Scott?

Thats very good news m8. Plus you would not be smoking in my shop after the 26th March anyways Keep it going m8

<< Must have just missed you fai 17, I left about 2ish. I have a white V3 sti. >> I didn't get there till about 3pm...Sorry that i missed you as we could have had a wee chat. You also missed the cheesecakes i brought down for the boys at Greersport. Next time m8.

My best time is 13.12sec and 0-60ft in 1.9sec so you work that out then m8

<< u had him back to look at it? i was asking about anti lad while mine was being mapped and he said it was pretty straight forward to install...and it didnt take him all that long to do scott >> Did you know that the proper antilag should be ran off the vacuum from your engine which means no brakes when you approach a corner on the brakes so my mapper was trying to work rounds this so i can get the effect from antilag at standstill and driving on track.He'll look at it again next time he's up tho.

I'll try and make it

Hello m8 and welcome aboard this crazy boat of no destination..

Could some one organise a 0-60 and 0-100 time??

<< u still not had your anti-lag set up??when mine was being mapped the anti lag didnt take long to set up, and that included the switch inside the car for it scott >> I don't know what the problem is with the antilag and my car..

<< personally mate i wouldnt go for ecutek on your car, noticed a massive improvement in my car since changing from ecutek to the gems and reckon it is definitely worth the ££, just wish i had gone for it a lot earlier as the car is running much better now.... scott >> Is that all you have to say about the GEMS???

Well...being the only few on here with a GEMS on a NEWAGE,this is what i have to say. I love my GEMS ECU because of a few things. 1. The processing on the ECU is quicker than the standard ECU which gives you faster spool up and loads of TORQUE but i haven't had it rolling road yet so i don't know the figures. 2. It's able to run spot on with the fueling so i don't need to uprate the injectors(i think) 3. It pops and bang and shoots flames like no other car on Scottish Scoobies that i know of. 4. Being able to run ANTILAG and LAUNCH CONTROL. 5. Having the advantage to take all the mods off to sell when you get a new car because you still have a STANDARd ECU to put back on. 6. Being able to run more boost than an ECUTEK map. But there is couple of issue with the GEMS that you need to know before you get one like. 1. Trying to get a good mapper is quite hard to come by. 2. The antilag is still not active on my newage yet. 3. Cold start can be a problem but mines has been fixed by my mapper. 4. Hot start can be a problem too but which i don't have. 5. Some famous mappers are not as good as they claim or you've read off. 6. They are expensive but you can sell your GEMS ECU when you sell your car which you can't do with an ECUTEK. So for your own sake try to get a drive in a car with a ANDY F ECUTEK MAP and a proper GEMS MAP. Then make your own mind up. These are my personal thoughts as i may be wrong on some issues.

I'll be up for a run and a chippie as i fed up eating chinese food all day

Thats very nice m8...loving it then/??? Get the number taken off
