I've heard a lot of bad reviews from people who have never owned one, and good from those who have had experience with one!

Thanks All.
Looks like i will give one a try.
Its for my sons golf but will post comments on it when he has bought and fit it.

I bought a new borg warner last year for my auq but cost me 650 plus the fitting, best cash ive spent in a long time, running 1.4bar on a custom evolution motorsports map and runs perfect.
Got used to the power and would like more. will have to wait
thanks again
