any thoughts good or bad most appreciated people

[Eshrules]

I prefer to actually see my cash burn in front of me, as opposed to buying crap off eBay.

no offence bud, but you might want to do a search, tuning boxes have been done to death on here.

a waste of money. if you want a faster car, spend the money on a remap. if you want one of these, get yourself down to maplins and buy some resistors and solder them into the cts wires. thats all these boxes do, they make the ecu think the engine is colder than it is so it overfuels. but they do come in a pretty plastic housing thats worth more than whats inside.

thats what i was thinking, ive had loads of GTE astras and it always made me smile when people would disconnect the coolant temp sensor claim there car went like **** but couldnt understand they it used so much fuel, as for a remap, im not in to that, as and when i want something faster i will buy a mk6 GTD until then the mk5 is perfect:D

In that period, he estimates that he's spent £100,000 doing up an old Vauxhall Victor.
It can do 0 - 60 mph in one second!" he exclaims proudly.

..and then..It can also reach a speed of 183 mph in 7.8 seconds :yikes:
My Mondial would of realistically reached about 60ish in that time :D

Quality! If one unit improves power by 25%, I reckon you should ask for four and install them in series to get a 100% power increase! :D
