Paul, good morning mate.
JF1 is good for a UK car.
Unplug the neg terminal on the battery. Leave switched of for about 1 hour. This will reset the ecu.(that you most deffo have fitted). The ecu will now re-learn your driving characturistics (sp?). If you thrash the **** off it it will know that it requires more fuel than if you tootle around racing Miss Daisey.
Fill up with Optimax if you can get it in your neck of the woods, if not go for Super but you'll pay a bit more at the pumps for that than Opti.
You should notice the car will be more responsive, smoother and you should notice a slight increase (better) in fuel economy.
Although you'll prolly find you've used more fuel cos you drive it harder with the additonal power you just gained.
