    Hello,
    I'd like to fit a big turbo to my Soarer, but I can't really find out what is the best way to tune it. I've read a bit about piggybacks and full ecu 'upgrades' but which management should I go for? Piggyback or full ecu?

    It's manual converted.

    Any advice would be good, like I say, I've searched but the information out there is quite diverse..

    Any tuners in the south to recommend too?

    Thanks.

    Best way is to find a mapper you trust and see what they recommend. But ill say this, don't skimp on management.

    depends on how big your wallet is really.
    if you have £1500 spare then standalone is the best option, We are looking at the Simtek for our Drag Soarer.

    however, for the budget minded, then the Greddy Ultimate is the way forward, this is what we are running on the Soarer at the mo
    I do like them, never had a problem (as long as you use the vehicle specific loom) I am going to be getting a couple back into stock, so if you are interested let me know.

    But as Swampy said, dont skimp on it and get a good mapper then knows what they are doing.

    Standalone is best option.. Link ECUs have come down in price and are quite reasonable now.. I can also make custom patch harness to suit any ecu, and supply a config list so you can set all the inputs/outputs.. Pretty much Plug & Play..
