I have been thinking about £7-8k. Does that sound reasonable to you guys?
I think I could make more in parts but it would be nice for it to go to a good home.

Re: Ecu light coming on under hard boost Apexi PFC
Yep 3 flashes is knock
A single flash is usually a sensor signal error. If you goto etc > Sensor/SW check on the commander you can check the sensors if a sensor is malfunctioning then it will be highlighted (may need to have a friend watch this while you drive).

Re: Best size fronts to match 245/45/16 rears
So far I've only had the RS2s on the back (had T1rs before) and from the little driving i have done with them I do prefer them. They are a road legal trackday tire so are much more grippy than the t1rs also the side wall are stiffer so less wollowing and are about the same price too, the downside is...

Mine has Toms rear and sides with 16" rims i think it looks good. though i'm gonna change the front tyres to have a slightly higher profile so they look more in line with the backs.

Re: Apexi Power Fc question.
It could be a standard PFC as the prevoius owner could have done a rev3 conversion to their rev2 inorder to run the PFC. If its a standard PFC it will be plug and play on a rev3. Check which one its is as the AP Engineering PFC will be no good for you. For mapping i would say get it mapped properly ...
