Default Fitting AVCS Heads to non-AVCS car

Right trying to tie up the techy questions for my engine build.

If I fit AVCS heads e.g. ebay link I'd most likely get mine from Saj though. I know it's possible to run them with Syvecs which I would get Simon (JGM) to fit for me, but what do I need to do at the engine end of the wiring harness to adapt my now redundant tumbler wiring to run the AVCS.

Also can I drive the car on the std (Ecutek'd) management without the AVCS from LA to surrey rolling road to get it fitted?

If this looks to be too much of a hassle I'll just stick with my heads and spend the syvecs money on a new turbo!

As said on the boat , you can drive with the AVAC's heads not connected . They will just stay in the closed position and give you their lowest cam position .
Weather you go avacs or not simtec or syvecs will give you a better result over free software or ecutek.
Syvecs being better than simtec in my view having had both

jgm would be better to anwser but i'll have a go !
Syvecs
Boost control is spot on ,tellit 1.5 and thats what you get ,flat line to the end
Data logging
anti lagg as standard
launch control as standard
8 mapps with 4fuels
maff less
active nock control
shift light
puts cel light on after 3 nocks
full throttle shifting when switch fitted to clutch


Simtec
boost control dipped abit but was still goodwhen compared to ecutek, but nothing like syvecs
maff less
shift light
anti lagg and lauch control extra

Looks like I'm forming a plan - funds are in place (ish) just a few details to tie up then it's a go!

Simtek is very good.. Syvecs is better still.. if budget allows then syvecs no question, if not the simtek is still very good.

both are very keenly priced for what you get when compared to motec for example.
