I'm not a fan of tuning/powerboxes.
Imho the only way to go is chiptuning/OBD...

The power box only gives pressure to the raill and don`t change rpm limit or any of the limiters. Thats way the gains aren't so big as a OBD/ chip.

Picked up one for £125 on an auction and it didnt disappoint!!

A noticable and impressive gain in power through all the gears and adds about 10mph onto the top end. More than happy with my purchase and would recommend to all. Ive no experience with the more expensive powerboxes/chip tuning but to have this power at a fifth of the price is good in my opinion!

2 Minutes!

You simply pull a connector out of the rail, The power box fits between this connection and the rail. you spent the most time cable tying everything and adjusting the power of the box. ill snap a few pics at some stage!

Hi,
How did you get it for £125 only. I saw it for £250 ?
Did you get the cables in this price or was it extra ?
Sby tried cheaper german Chip?
