Came from a running car. There's been lots of talk about these on here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?331559-Anyone-tried-one-of-the-link-ECU-s/page10

 

Jamie's G2 sold for £500 here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?331476-Link-stand-alone-ecu&highlight=link

 

The G4 has even more features, drive by wire, knock control, fully sequential spark and injection etc.

 

There's a lot of support in the uk for these, and most reputable places will map them too. These are a really good alternative to the Syvecs for people not wanting to spend £3k+.

 

£850

 

Spec below:

 

Designed and built to be the best, the Xtreme delivers the results, with more functions than normally demanded by both tuner and driver:

 

Hardware

Eight saturated injection drives, eight ignition outputs, 11 analog volt inputs, 10 digital inputs, 10 auxiliary outputs *

Four temperature inputs

Two, thirty four pin, waterproof connectors

External, 2.5, 3, 4 or 7 bar, MAP sensor (sold separately)

CAN / RS232 port

Software - PCLink

Fast tuning with keyboard driven commands

Six hundred pages of help on "right-click"

Powerful logging analysis built into PCLink

Tabbed, user configurable layout

No. Never found a need to to be honest. Done loads, most at least approching 500lbs/ft, never broke one, it's a myth IMHO. Use quality (and correct) fluid, change it regular (and the filter) and keep the fluid from over heating / burning.

 

Getting the NA valve body into TT boxes to run on the TT so that Dave P can work his magic and wide the box up to 11 seems to be the new want I get asked alot. For this reason I have begun work on a simple mappable NA 3 solenoid shift controller to work with Link so I can get rid of the stock ecu on Autos altogether.
