Well I haven't updated this for a week or two so thought I would do a little catch up
I got the Apexi fitted and reset it and followed instructions of setup.
10 mins idle,
then 10 mins idle with rear screen on,
then 10 mins idle with fans on max,

all settled as it should but when I pulled it out the garage and stopped on idle the revs are up and down for about 30 secs then settle again drive it then pull up to traffic lights same again this keeps happening so tried the setup again and same thing happens grrrrr any advice? Should I adjust the idle screw on the throttle body? Only thing is on stock ECU it idled fine could it be the idle control valve?
That aside I had been having an issue on full boost with second turbo would start to boost then almost instantly lose that extra pull of the 2nd turbo and make a screaming noise so been hunting for the issue and found it 
Down in there lol
A soft air intake hose

The pipe is also slightly bent so it was harder to see but the pinch test shows how bad it was any swapped out and boost returned to the second turbo.
So if I can get the idle right all will be good in the world once again lol

Oh one other thing what sort of running temps should I see from the car with normal driving (now I can see a figure on the commander I wanted to be sure all is good) also what other figures do you recommend I keep an eye and what should they average?
I am finding the commander is great but it also makes you look all the time and think shit is that normal lol

Lol  commander is the doom display...
Temp should be in region 82 to 90 deg ideally. On track saw 91deg .
Handy function is the sensor check. Clutch switch, brake lights o2 sensor etc. My idle is sweet now. Your on the base map idle ....once mapped should be better.
How does your rpm gauge compare to commander....?

They seem to be in sync matey why is yours off?
I can't wait to get it mapped up as got the Downpipe and IC sitting there ready to go on and will be getting a decat to finish it off but money has dried up for the next few months as her indoors has booked the family holiday lol
The big question is who should I get to map the bugger lol

Just ride with the idle for a couple of days my experience is it takes a few days for the pfc idle to settle. If you ever disconnect your battery it will do it again for a day or two so buy a ctek battery charger

Also I noticed you have a crv ( brown)  in the place of the bov ( black). Not a problem as such but they have different release rates. I have a spare black one if you want it.

So quick question I do have a black one (bov) if you look further up the pipework in the pic so do I need to swap them around ? As they have different spring as if what I am reading is right but can't seem to get an exact answer on which way round they sould be. Can someone have a look and confirm there setup, and thanks Neil for the heads up!!

My crv ( brown)  is nearest the bulkhead and black nearest the front of the car

Neil I was looking at the car this morning and I am not sure where I was looking both are brown, so if you have that spare black one and you are willing to park with it let me know your price and I will come and collect or I can give you my address and you could post it, and thank you again for pointing it out do you know what difference it will make if much at all ?

You can have it pal I'll just swap it for your brown one,  it won't make much difference I imagine just one releases the pressure quicker than the other. At least then you know everything is how it was designed which makes fault finding much more straightforward. I'm at work till early July but I can pop down or meet you somewhere.
