Iam not sure about a price for a second hand unit but they are about £ 300 new.

I will have to get my wiring diagrams out, i should perhaps write a guide.

Bill might have his diagrams a pin locations handy.

righto..
thanks to matt for info....

Apexi wires ---- car
Red (ign power) - probe by fuse box for a suitable source.
Purple (rpm or inj) - Pin 102/T121 (bk/bl) - smaller ecu connector <<coil for rpm
Green - ground
Black - ground
Grey (throttle sig, 0-5v) - P35/T121 (gy/bl) - larger ecu connector
White (speed signal) - Pin 2/G22 (wh/bl) @ g'box sender

some setup to do also to convince apexi its got rpm correct.... cant remember off hand that setting. (think its 1,1,uparrow)
throttle is 0-5v setting


**Disclaimer-you follow this at your own risk. Applies to 2001 MY ibiza cupra's Mk3**

Dont have the instructions for VAG cars, do you? Sorry... What about the wiering?


the plumbing for cars is in the manual.. not vag i agree, but its not that different.
there are examples of its plumbing circuit.

boost side, actuator side and vent to atmosphere (intake on vag cars)
in the kit is a plastic hose tail fitting for the atmo vent on the solenoid.

you will see a similar example in the manual for plumbing.
i am not near my own car so cannot remember which I used, but I copied an identical fitment from their manual.

good luck

I only use 2 ports, it think the 3rd is if you are using a external waste gate. Not sure though.

1. Power, Use a ignition live for this.


2. Ground Pin 108 on ECU brown/blue wire remember to wire it as the instuctions say both earths on the one wire one after the other.


3. Throttle Pin 73 (i think) yellow / green wire


4. Speed. Pin 2 on gearbox speed sender white/blue


5. RPM Pin 121 on ECU black/purple wire.

Hope this helps.

Remember to splice into the wires and NOT cut them.

Are you able to take som pictures? Iv seen that robdon only uses 2 ports on the solinoide...

the 3rd port is simply a vent, which is into intake as per std motor N75.
vent it to atmos if ya like, but you have a pipe to block on intake to might as well connect the vent side of the solenoid to it.

Working

Got the unit working today! Lot of wiering and so on.

I just left te original N75 in its position and ran a hose between the to ports.. It seeams to work...

But should the car keep the boost longer than with the original Valve? My car feels the same as before...

What is the best way to set the unit to work as good as possible? Anybody got some pointers?

what sort of speed readings do you get?
Mine over reads a lot. 100kmh actual is 140kmh on apexi

also, what mode are you using... programmed setpoint boost and start % duty cycle?

Still boost problems

Still not getting better result with the apexi. What settings are you guys using? Now mine is at 80% boost duty... And in learning mode... Anythin else I can do to get more out of it...

Bill.

My speed rating is out as well but dont worry about it. When setting up your gear judge all the apexi needs is a reading. It is RPM divided by Speed.

The fact that the apexi is reading a false speed isn't important. When you go into gear judge drive along in 1st gear it will give a reading (mine is approx 145) input this in the setup section, go into 2nd gear and the reading will be less think mine is ~115 and enter this in the setup section.

Do this with all the gears.

Then to adjust gear dependant boost go into the START DUTY section and adjust the value accordingly....into minus figures for less and plus figures for more.

Mine is set at -34% iirc and at 0% for the rest.

Iam using RPM dependant boost control and fiddling with START DUTY to get the results iam after.

I have had mine in for a while and its still not setup bang on, i still get spikes upto 1.5BAR which i dont want, just a case of fiddling. but its hard on the open road as you can imagine as the speedo creaps round rather quickly.

Ideally setup on a RR
