That could be it I suppose.

I thought that mine went quite well with the CRD box set on its -3 setting.It didn't feel much different going any higher than that TBH,and now that I've found that the ocassional 'spanner light' was caused by a dodgy boost sensor I may just be tempted to stick the box back on with the low setting.
