Hopefully the new chip fixes the issue. Perhaps some of the 65 LR M-Tune users could post too.

yeah, weird, the guy (understandably) was getting all upset about the problem, received the new chip on the 11 jan, and 20 days later no update, hes either to busy out playing in his now working car or i dont know what.....

im also curious about the performance/reliability of these kits, with the import duty and 20% tax the price inc delivery for this to the UK is nearly £1400 ($2000) which is a lot of money to shell out when the company that manufactures and sells the kit is in the US so if things do go wrong its a timely and costly exercise to get it sorted

the alternative is the Augment Automotive ECU with map sensor, mapping, data logging etc etc and all made and supported in the UK for a similar price..

unfortunately we arent very well catered for in the UK for tuning 951s

How much is the Augment solution with injectors and dyno set up ? I'd still like to see an independent test of Augment and VEMS.

You can also purchase plug & play VEMS kit from Raceboy. It will cost you just over 1000 EUR and as he is sending them from Estonia, no custom duties apply (VAT is already included). That price does not include injectors, thus you should add some EUR 250 - 300 for a set.

Since it's standalone, you can just change the base required fuel to whatever injectors you want to install. You can get a new set of Siemens Deka IV injectors, 60 or 80 lb, for like $180 USD that are physically the right dimensions and connector.

You are right. Bur for some kind of reason Siemens Deka 630cc (60lb) cost from EUR 250 on ebay in Europe

One of the reasons is that we have VAT (around 20% depending from country) on everything + you in the US have bigger market just for everything

Back to the topic. Do you have any experience with Siemens Deka injectors. There are short and long versions. Which one is better for 951?

Guys, lets keep this thread on-track.
Please take the VEMS/MS/whatever discussion elsewhere.

To update. I finally got all the parts in to reseal my AOS, cleaned and checked my idle stabilizer and I'm replacing all my battery and alternator harnesses with new oem ones. The weather in western PA has been cold so I haven't had much time to work on the car, or desire to in my 20 degrees garage. Warmer weather in the 50s this week so I'm hoping to have it together soon. And get some updates posted. Josh has sent me a few chips to try out so I'll post feed back on each one soon.

Hi guys.
I confess I am very happy.
finally the car works well, with the new chip.
but I have another problem and can not find the fault.
mean, there are times when starting from cold and quite correct. and sometimes starts and stays at 700 rpm, a hot time is 850.
I pass someone.
thanks.

Good news, I wonder if this was related to colder winter temps ?
