    Change it for a 2.8 turbo...

    Seriously - I'm amazed you've managed a year with the box fitted mate. Anyone who's tried it on the facelift V6's has trashed the fuel pump shortly afterwards...

    most say not to bother, unfortunately. especially on the euro4 model.
    fuel pumps have failed on a number of occasions not long after tuning.

    Turn it up to the next map! Even better, take it off for a week then put it back on, you will realise how much you missed it. I found that fitting eibachs transformed the crashy ride, which made it more fun in corners. Just need to shave off 500kgs and it would be great!

    Mine goes like stink!!!!, and its standard with a auto/tiptronic g/box. Can,t afford to take the chance of wrecking the high pressure pump. The pump and fitting/labour charges £4,000 approx., will write the car off clearly.....

    You could reduce the weight by taking that big lump of cast iron out from under the bonnet. Weighs a ton, it does.
