Isn't this the good old 5 pence resistor crap, but in a fancy new box?

 

[Sisson]

Don't be so tight and get a proper remap!!!

 

[D_McA]

Yip very similar to the resistors that used to be sold I think. Your safer getting it done right and getting it remapped.

 

[Cupraboy4]

IM PLANING TO GET IT REMAPPED NEXT YEAR, ITS JUST THE OLD MONEY SITUATION (OR RATHER LACK OF MONEY SITUATION)

 

[Big_daddy]

Yeh dont waste money on this, this will end up screwing your car up. If you want it chipped get some thing like revo. not cheap crapy things people sell on ebay.

 

[sssstew]

[Cupraboy4]

SORTED, DA MONEY IS STAYIN IN DA BANK, KEEP SAVING FOR REVO OR SOMETHING SIMILAR NEXT YEAR!!!!

If you do start writing more I would recommend the use of spell check first as you appear to be missing letters off of various words etc.

I think its already been said, but dont touch that thing.

Considering the £400 plug in boxes are rubbish compared to a re-map, that one really is bad news.

I think people get away selling them because if someone feels a bit more power as soon as they fit it, they leave a +ve feedback. Problem is, as soon as its been on a while, problems are guaranteed.

They cause engines to cut, smoking, clogging of valves, higher running temperatures etc etc.

Save up, and get a re-map, with good, real results and reliability.

Not that I have seen

The latest release of Firefox does though (and very handy it is too)

When you click reply you type in a grey box, to the right is a list of smilies and just above it is a logo with "ABC" and a tick......that's the spell check button
