Hi all,

As above. I've got the s3 8l.
There doesn't seem to be many places to buy the blue controllers these days ? Any pointers ?
Thanks

Thanks tufty. I have managed to search forum and find these.
Doesn't seem to be a definitive answer where is the better place to buy? and which is best to go for ?.
Ive looked at lots of links and most go to discontinued items :-/

That's because it is discontinued

That's exactly the reason behind the original post... it seems like he's asking for help on finding one of those, today.

Buy a HPA one or look on eBay or other car classifieds but the points in the post I linked to are relevant

where's the best place to buy the HPA controller?

Hpa?

thanks; I'll email them; not sure about duties etc if you order direct from US...but can't seem to fine a UK/Euro seller.

...other than the ones listed on HPA's website...

The U.K. Supplier doesn't stock them any more, phoned today, said cheaper to import yourself

 

[Eoin]

thanks; HPA came back to me, confirmed no UK suppliers at the moment and best to order direct from them; $749 +$80 shipping to Ireland, which makes it expensive for me with the current EUR/USD exchange rate and I could also get caught for import duties which I've no idea how much that could be. I though it replaced your existing controller but it works in conjunction with it....so as my controller is probably not working, I'll need to get new one of those anyway before I think about the HPA unit.

 

[Eoin]

The German supplier, HPerformance listed on the HPA website, have them in stock for €799. HPA direct is slightly cheaper but my understanding is that you could be hit for VAT and duties if you import from the USA/Canada but if you buy from EU there's no issue.

That's not bad, as importing is just shy of 550 plus import and from Europe it's 573 not extra tax. !
