I've got the type S that will be goin in when the new motor goes in, not much diffance between the 2 models outside of the solenoid. What specifically do you need help with? I trust you have found yourself a copy of the english instructions? If not go to the Blitz website and grab them from there, makes life a LOT easier!
If you're in no rush I'll give you a run down when I put mine in, but thats at least 3 weeks away

Hi guys and many thanks for your replies. I know this maybe stupid but I've got the instructions but I don't understand them,in all honesty believe it or not I'm a master tech in the UK but I'm dyslexic and find it hard to understand the written word its always been easer for me to learn from watching and speaking to others I'm not thick but this really confuses me as I always use pounds or bar to work things out do or does anyone know what settings I should set the controller to please as I fitted it two months ago and at the moment its as good as an ornament cheers guys how's the weather down under its freezing in the UK LOL

OK dude.
As you twist the mode knob along you should have 4 x 0's or 4 numbers and above them in tiny writing in the top left it should say 1-4 (That's your 1-4 boost settings)
All you have to do.
Turn the mode knob onto one of the 0's, then hit the mode knob and it should make the little 1 up the top flash, then twist the volume knob to raise the number from anywhere between 10-100, then hit the mode knob and your done.
Basically, you are setting a % of how much your solenoids can run, so if you have a 2bar solenoid and you run 50% that means you should be running 1 bar. Get it.
Now, in regards to setting boost, bring the number up 5% at a time, set it first to 20%, then 25% and keep going up by 5's until it runs the boost you want.
If you got any more questions feel free to ask me.

Cheers for the replys guys and I do mean thank you one other thing I was wondering is what is the max boost I should expect without the boost controller in bar as thats what my gauge is in please
I have 4 settings in mine: Stock (around 10PSI) 15PSI 18PSI 20PSI
There is also a gain setting there, which lets you set how hard it hits boost, I think I have mine set to 5 or 6 offhand. If you set this number too low then it will hit boost very quickly but will spike.

Hi guys sorry but I must be thick as I have not clue to this to be honest I'm scared stiff of it as I managed to blow the sh1t out of a car with one of these fitted now I didn't set it up it was done by a professional garage on a rolling road but it still killed the engine i really don't have a bloody clue my car has a 3" twin exhaust to the rear no cats and only two rear boxes a Hks dome filter hsk dump valve that's it so can anyone out there tell me what settings to punch in as that's the only way it will ever work sorry guys but its not my thing

Thanks for the advice I do understand where your coming from but it would end up costing me even more money of which I cant afford so I will keep plugging someone out there knows

I'm running a simple cheap pneumatic boost controller, and I've set it for 18PSI max. I then simply use the "foot operated boost control", commonly called the accelerator as required. If you have a bit of self control and a decent boost gauge, you can run this way easily!
