Can someone give me some good info on this as how it installs, works etc...

What should I expect? What is the GBP price?

Thanks

I think a search might be useful....

Search didn't really bring up a fat lot just loads of unanswered questions!

It's around 135 GBP.
Hardware installs like any other on a Windows PC.
Software doesn't even need installation.
Performance gains around 4HP/8Nm on a stock car with generic map.

can you set the limiter higher with the rs tuner? or do the downloads do this anyway?

What sort of gains would be expected with a Panel Filter, SS Exhaust, Decat and matched inlets?

Limiter is set too 7500rpm though im personally scared to take it that high. I saw around 20nm of torque gain in the mid rev range and 5bhp increase there also. No higher top end power but max torque was increased 12nm. best £135 ive spent car is so much smoother when cold and nicer to drive on the motorway where the mid range torque comes in handy.

limited is 7.5k on my RS tuner .cal file for the 182. Henk said he doesnt set it higher than that altho i wanted 7.8k

cool i think 7.5k would be enough imo, id be scared off killing it!

I found the kit good, easy to install, there is a slight difference in power but not alot, raised limiter is good, especially the way its set up, when the engine is cold the limiter stays at the original so you cant over rev it.
Henk can also do i custon map to suit you car mods if needed.

Come payday I think I may purchase this then!

Also does it plug into the Diagnostics port or is it like a piggyback ECU which goes inline with the OE one?

into the diag. port
