I am one of the two that Leigh installed a Link G3 in my Stroked STi (GC8). I am a novice when it comes to Engine Management and Tuning but I must admit the feel of the power that comes from my STi is amazing!

I have never owned a car with an aftermarket ECU so I can not comment or compare on any others but I have to admit the Link G3 is certainly value for money.

Leigh got 198.2kW @ the Wheels with 445NM Torque and running 20 PSI on the Standard Turbo. It is conservatively tuned as RMS still have the Warranty to cover on the Engine.

I am more than happy with the power output, but he suggests going up to a VF34 to get an additional (30-40kWs? - I cant remember what he told me).

So if you boys are running big turbo's than I am sure the Link G3 will leave a smile on your face.

yeh you would think that it would be well over the 200kw mark!
It must just be at a safe tune or something.

if you had vf34, fmic, tbe, etc etc your car would be pulling some hard power atw!

And as i said before YEAH, it was $2800 for everything!

I had a PerFOURmance Stroker Kit fitted before the Link G3 was installed so I have a warranty on the that (hence the conservative tune).

I do not mean there is a warranty on the Engine if the G3 causes engine damage, but in saying that you are best to speak to RMS or who ever else installs Link ECU's.

All I am trying to say is I am very happy with the Link G3 and recommend people on a budget to give it a go.
