Simtek, Apexi or Gems
Guys, how good is Simtek over Apexi and Gems.
I've been offered one for £275 and I'm very tempted.
Though my car is going to be more Track orientated than road use though it will be road worthy for those occasional show visits and weekend drive's, which out of these have the better intelligence to do everything I need it to do, oh and who map's Simtek as well please.
Any help would be appreciated.

I run an Apexi Power FC on my 93wrx and its a brilliant piece of kit, especially with the hand commander, but if i was to do it again i would be tempted to go Simtek as it allows doing away with the MAF sensor and also has the option of Antilag. It is around the same price as the Apexi too. Not had anything to do with Gems but i've heard its supposed to be a good bit of kit, although quite a bit more expensive.

Defo buy it Mat, thats a absolute bargin
Simtek is much more advanced than GEMS and Apexi, should be just as road legal as with any other ECU, mine runs Simtek.
