just wanted to know which people on here run these and what they are like? how easily mapped and what sort of price you looking at to buy or get wired in =)

I was looking at getting an SMT-6 when I was gonna put cams in the gen1 I had. IIRC, Jay (JDRides) is fully equipped and registered installer/tuner. Pretty close to you too at Purfleet - infact, I'm certain thats who SteveB went with when fitting and tuning his turbo...

yeah Jay done it for it once steve got the stand alone management in, runs like it had the turbo from factory.

i can highly recomend jay to supply and fit a piggyback ecu. hes helped tune mu stand alone and tunned the apexi safc neo when my car was na. pesonaly i prefered the apxi to the smt. looked really nice sitting in my dash.

thanks guys, so the apxi was better than the smt?? whats the price like on them + fitting?? i think i might speak to jay then

jays your man to get it fitted - bloody clever he is

about £150 to fit, £300 to tune

I didnt realise you have an smt steve?!

had the smt6 in the old car, and its going in the v6

its a bitch to tune (crap software) on the timing side, map resolution isnt too bad, great piece of kit for the price though. Id reccomend and go again (as i have )

so you recommend the smt??

absolutely. I had (and have) the smt-6. Its nice and cheap, Jay can fit 'em.

ALTHOUGH - the neo is also a nice piece of kit - the only real difference is that the smt does timing aswell as fuelling - which personally i wouldnt be that fussed about unless youre going FI or higher octane fuel etc where the timing is needed.

The smt is hidden where as the neo is a fancy handheld device but both get good reviews

Glad this has been asked having just recieved the cams from mr Steve B i believe i will be requiring a piggyback .

will watch in the background

is there a diy for fitting a SMT? i dont pay for what i can do my self (tune excluded in that unless i can do that)

yh i looked at the neo and it did look quite fancy lol.. i see so who fitted your smt 6 and mapped it? i saw the smt 8 advertised o0o haha.. as long as the neo worked i wouldn't really care

What sort of price are these, I've put a few things onto my engine, and want to get the best out of them, not to mention I got a slight lag if I boot it as it can't get fuel in quick enough.

ATSpeed in Rayleigh tuned mine, lovely tune those guys know their stuff - but Jay came in and saved the day when they had wiring problems...

the smt6 is still being sold at about £300 delivered, but check out the yanks forums as they sell the neo and smt for peanuts (about $200 used plus shipping)

I didnt realise you have an smt steve?!


i never had one myself but i did a lot of looking around at that time and over all just prefered the neo. i also tried the aem piggyback. that was a good bit of kit too. i used it with my turbo but had problems with the maf. thats when i went over to stand alone and a map sensor. stand alone wins hands down but any of those 3 piggybacks would do the job well for what you want.

Are there cheaper options that do a good job?
