no save up and get it mapped propperly, all there going to do is fit 25 quids worth of gear to your car and turn the boost up

As above........

NO NO NO......

These basically fool the ecu into think they are running standard boost although the boost has been increased..

therefore fueling is for standard boost..

that equals melted piston
