Hi to all,
Has anyone ever fitted any magic black boxes?
I just need to know which signals the box intercepts...MAF?
Thanks,
Rostami.

Some people complain about lack of linearity wicth such boxes. What are your opinions? Do you feel that the engine is not as smooth as before? Are there flat spots?

Rostami, Ive got a psi motorsport box and would highy recommend, I got it from ebay second hand and paid about 90 quid for it. Engine definately sounds "throatier" under full throttle. With my box it has four sets of power which you adjust by changing jumpers, I have only tried it on max setting though![;)] Unfortunately today my clutch has started to slip again a bit- I had this problem when I got the box but it went away completely after a couple of weeks- today its back after it not happening for a couple of months [:(] so may have to power down a bit. Im unplugging it tomorrow anyway as its MOT time and the car does smoke more with the box hooked up..
Cheers
Paul

Rossd,
In that case I don´t really understand how the box works. Just by looking at the signals the ECU generates to control the injectors, you get speed and dewll or duty-cycle information... Or is the case that the box adds a constant offset to the injectors control signals (such as a longer time open, hence more Diesel goes in the cylinders?)
