Why dont my apexi FC work right?

[tiger18]

right guys ill start by giving you a little history,,, Got car from japan 3 years ago and i rebuilt the engine replaced lots of parts with new bits ect ect well looked after (pulls 17.5 in/hg,, good engine)
ive modded it all this year:-  cat back/ downpipe/ efinie y pipe/ blitz airfilters/ massive M2 intercooler/ greddy elbow/ dumpvalve.

Now i purchased a new apexi FC 8 months ago installed it,noticed i was getting knock readings of upto 200 (even stood on the spot and blipping the throttle gave me 130// ok maybe shafted knock sensor maybe?).. Also when i hit full boost on full throttle i can hear like a metal twanging/ pinging noise (ahhh maybe real knock/ carefull now dont want knackered engine/ replace standard ECU car runs fine and great no knock or anything wrong).

So i send my apexi to pip at WGT he checks it out all is fine and puts me a better map in to suit my mods. got it back a few days exactly same symptoms, im that ****ed off with it im tempted to wang the apexi FC over a bush. (ive checked all the sensors on the check screen all is fine and standard ECU threw up no diagnostic codes). im at a loss??? any input at all anything...

I\'d take the whole car to pip and get it put on the dyno. He will tell what the issue is right away.

sounds like a knackered knock sensor to me, my advice to you is take it to Pips and have it dyno mapped, it be the best couple hundred quid you have spent on th car get it mapped asap

He certainly will!!  It\'s the reason I\'m planning another 420 mile round trip after x-mas.  I\'ve only ever heard good things about Pip, and that mapping skills are second to none!

Little off topic but am looking to tune my FD just after Xmas and would like to know how much a tune would be from WGT.

Also anyone know whats the closest reliable tuner to doncaster for Power FC.

It will be WGT, It all depends on what level of tune you are at and how long you will be on the dyno for. Best ringing wgt and asking them.
