There's another guy called higherpeaks on the bay, that's where I got mine. Worth the money I reckon.

I was considering one of these, but I don't really need the claimed extra power, and my throttle response is fine.  I've never experienced the talked about "lag".

Chatted to my colleague about these a few days ago. Avoid like the plague - all they do is trick your engine into thinking cold and therefore delivers more fuel than normal.

No mate, you're thinking of the "Super resistors" for a fiver, that's what they'll do, this is a remapped ECU chip, it'll be a stock remap instead of a custom reprogram specific to your car at a rollers, but should give better results across the range.
