Evening All,

Read loads of negative things about this sort of tuning box (just a resistor in a case!!!) but cant help thinking......is it worth a £69 risk?

item no: 220514259031
seller: theitalianbox

The customer feedback looks pretty positive (obv. many people have left feedback before fitting doh!) but overall people appear pleased with the result.

Opinions/experiences welcomed...

To be bluntly honest with tuning you get what you pay for. I'd hate to shell out £69 and be left with a £500 bill for a new head/turbo/set of pistons etc...

I would be inclined to say that when messing with the ECU you have to remeber that your also playing with the usability of your car. It would be an awful shame to buy it plug it in and screw up your cars brain.

Keep us posted though.

Gimick....leave well alone.

And especially so with a 3.0Tid and it's potential for dropping a cyl liner and scrapping the engine.
