But it's £200 ,although that's still 200 more than I've got at the minute :lol:
They all seem much of a muchness looking at the tech specs.I suppose you pays your money .................and once you've done that you're committed to making the best of whatever .
New units are all around the same price £600 ish .I don't need an all dancing/singing setup .
The Adaptronic seems as good as the rest at this price point but has less of a track record .They all seem to do the job .

Still ,I am sticking with the GTA :evil: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Looks like an old model. Can't see anything that looks like that on the DTA website or in the 'legacy' section.

That's one of the main requirements as far as I'm concerned .I don't fancy being a test case for a newish system .If I buy a well known unit from a reputable source then I can demand the results they promise and get a bit of comeback .It's like doing your own paint prep .If I waltz in with my own unit and say make it work they will always have a getout if it doesn't perform .

I might take a wander up the road to Noble ,it's only a half hour trip ,get it on the rollers in std form ,then give them a quizzing .I shall be armed with a bit of GTBlinger info at least as well 8) 8)

DTA will need a trigger wheel, and won't work with the original sensors as its not a self calibrating unit.

Yep, and replacement sensors, and maybe a rewire of the ignition system if they have direct spark output..

Very very unlikely, and you can always steal the right signal off the RPM output feed. Even if it -soes- have a direct spark o/p, you could just run a seperate coil of your choosing. I believe the GTA's rev counter runs off the coil neg because it's the same in both the ATMO and Turbo.

As for the trigger pattern being configurable... Omex seem a good choice there, although the software is a little bewildering. Not sure on the sensors but I expect thay're configurable too. And I'll say it again, the way Peter's place got the Adaptronic to trigger off the stock flywheel is -not- 100% correct.
