just looked at one and says required PAUG sim? so I'm guessing its for data transmitting? if so how much do they use?? don't want to have to worry about topping it up every week, maybe chuck a cheap contract sim in??

I don't think I will hit that running standard but if I did go down the throttle bodies root later then its possible :)
-
I believe it needs an extra controller to run the VVT constantly variable (not just switched on or off) that's an extra £200+ but the emerald can do it all! Shame as it would have saved a few quid lol

Its an absolute ass to get running! its not as simple as just getting round the security! the ECU needs to read so many different sensors that it brings up fault codes and goes into limp mode! I know it can be done but unfortunately its beyond me :( here is the link and hes done a great job :) http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=174681&page=1
