And for another example, one that I am currently stuck in, the silicon hoses that form the APS front munt intercooler kit are not availaible separately, so in order to buy a $50 hose, you need to purchase the full kit, which will empty your wallet by about $1900. Seems fair and resonable? Hell no! Certain APS components, teamed with the Edit, are giving excellent results. Just make sure that you dont need any replacement parts.

Are these kits 100% legal and can the car still get defected, then I have to prove to (Regency in Adelaide, SA) that my car is still compliant. Thanks guys, just a little more info would be great!

andrewdisco Member 5 Member For: 18y 3m 4d Posted 12/09/06 10:10 AM Share Posted 12/09/06 10:10 AM Sorry for the REALLY dumb question... sort of new to the turbo seen (v8 driver). I'm fine with the whole edit thing, but whats the go with the UniChip computer ? it comes with pre-loaded custom maps so it's just plug and play with no need for a tuner ? or do you still need to take it in to be tuned ?And the edit is similar just that it's an exact tune to suite your car on the dyno ?

andrewdisco Member 5 Member For: 18y 3m 4d Posted 12/09/06 10:58 AM Share Posted 12/09/06 10:58 AM ta, if the unichip has to be tuned what's the advantage of using one over just a normal edit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound very tempting for the F6, but an edit would change this anyway, but as a kit, would just like to know what my options are.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
