Van Aaken tuning box question.

Ucchockey · 30th May 2011, 23:44

Hi all. I have bought a Van Aaken tuning box off eBay. It was from the 131 bhp cdti. I have the 114 bhp cdti. Will the box still work for me? Cheers.

I collect the car on Thursday. I will be driving it from middlesborough to birmingham without the box so will get a feel for how it runs. I might save putting the box on for a while until I am feeling the need for more speed.

I would advise checking and sorting all the typical issues before adding a tuning box or your pleasure may be short lived, fuel pumps, pcv, inlet modification and egr bypass all spring to mind oh and as it isn't a synergy also the MAF
