Diesel tuning chip

[Guyver1]

Hi guys, has anyone used one of these, and if so are they worth the money??

Caterman box is cheaper.

The CR1 was the first ever box i tried. Decent results but basic analogue system the same as the t-tuning (£65) boxes

[vxvirgin]

So is a 'Caterman' box the same thing as a t-tuning box?

[Big Sig]

Yes mate

[Caterman]

Yes m8, i found them and bought one to "have a play" as the price was so cheap. People started naming them after me
I just wish i had a pound for every one that has been sold as a result

For what they cost the really are a steal

[vxvirgin]

So, the same as this Ebay? Only ask as I bought something similar from here some time back which was described as a Caterman. It does appear to increase power and torque but I didn't feel that it was 30bhp - but then again, I don't really know how to judge 30bhp. My vectra is the most powerful car I've had.

[Big Sig]

Yep thats the one. Some get 185bhp from their 150's, others have had nearly 200 i think.
