So Aristor, where's your shop in HK? Maybe I can drop by sometimes.

But still doesn't help the fact that the problem still exists for the US tuners. And I can tell you, with the limited experience the tuners in Indonesia have, I am almost certain the same problem might exist here.
As for the FCON, there's NO WAY I can get the software (with or without the serial) coz Singaporeans are known to be real stiff with their rules and quite **** about which cars are getting tuned by their tuners in Indonesia. There is a guy here who used to work for Garage-R (the SIngapore dealer/tuner for HKS) and he told me that if he has access to the hardware, he would be able to tune it.
Also, there's a shop in Hongkong (I won't name him here) who said that he is willing to put in 4 base maps (very conservative, conservative, aggressive, very aggressive) into a HKS FCON SZ and he said it would "somewhat" work with my car. He said it won't be 100% but at least it will be better than not having anything at all. The SZ goes for around USD1,200 with the 4 base maps plugged in. I am still skeptical because that will not be any different compared to the Australian Microtech ECU I have on the car right now.

The FconSZ might be a better way to go and it's way cheaper then the Vpro plus with the base map atlease u can have a base to play with. Also from the Shop that Jon is talking about there's a Fcon SA which is made specailly for automatic cars. But I'm still getting friends from the states to try a locate an english copy of the Vpro software.

Getting you the hardware would be pretty easy, but even for the price, the guy is not willing to relinquish the software to me hehehehhe. Tough luck. I am talking to a tuner right now here locally who said the E-Manage should be a no problem. I might do that to my stock twins right now first to see how it would work and then if I am completely satisfied, we can go ahead and use the same E-Manage for my upgraded single turbo in the near future....

Good luck Jon, I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem. for the price of the e-manage and the result you'll get , I'm sure u'll be happy with it.

The E-manage is relatively cheap but for a few hundreds more, you can get the PHR MAP ECU which will allow you to remove the MAF meter increasing the amount of airflow to your motor. Thanks for telling me about it Jon. I did some research and it does seem to be an amazing unit. I found a web site selling it for $830 shipped anywhere in the states you might be able to wrok out shipping To Singapore with them, if not, I should be able to help you with the whole thing. Now, how about that KAZZ meter holder and those nice gauges. Can one of you guys tell me where I can get one or if I can send you the money to get me one? Thanks

The gauges wont work unless they make some for LHD if you look at it its angled on the side. Pretty sweet interior. I really like the two tone leather. Is that a blackwood steering wheel too? Get some daytime pics for us.

sorry for my late reply but car is off the hook
like badass300 had said , i would die for that guage setup if it could be made for lhd as well .. thats perfect for when i finally get the boost in there then i can mount safc controller where the entire ash tray assembly is and be ready for battle...
what brand of carbon fiber hood is that and how well does it fit.. were you able to retain hood struts or do you have to prop it up..

AB Flug also makes a similar gauge pod that will replace your center air vent. They also have open slits at the bottom of the pods so air can still go through the center vents as always. They come in fiberglass or carbonfiber but again, this is for RHD vehicles only.
