Thanks again,

aFE is very good but a closed system
BMS is very good too, with Stage 1 available and Stage 2 (upgrade) also available but in Beta 'testing' form at this time. So, yes the BMS is upgradeable.

I have BMS Stage 1 installed in my car since 25 Feb '13, on an N20 engine with electronic waste gate sensor. One connector from BMS is not used if the engine has electronic waste gate sensor. N26 engines have the same sensor. Early model N20 engines has solenoid sensor, so the BMS connector was/is used in this setup.

Yes, you can install the aFE or BMS units very easily yourself. No need for anyone else to install, but if you want a friend to assist, why not. The instructions are very clear and the units installed within minutes, maybe a few more, if you choose to go slowly. Connectors can be easily unclipped (be careful, of course) and then clicked together as per instructions.
