Ohh, god........

This sounds like a TRX100 special. Please tell me it's not.

If it is, send it back, get your money back and then contact someone on this forum who actually knows what they are doing when tuning.

Not the first person to be had by TRX100 , promising much and delivering little

No one has mentioned if the VATS is on or off. And the only way to get a real tune is on the rollers!

TRX's tunes are good for spectators when the engine leans out and pops

I lean out and pop after a Chicken tikka masala

After reading what was posted above (about TRX), I thought Id have a quick look at his feedback on ebay, and it doesn't look too bad at all. Theres actually a hell of a lot of people on there who are happy with what they've got from him.. Its not rocket science modifying these tunes, Ive been doing my own for years now after learning the basics from delcowizzid, (who really is a wizard when it comes to these tunes).

Bullshit, you don't need a rolling road dyno to tune a car. VATS doesn't matter, it's a VS, it's not like the PCM and BCM are linked like in later model cars.

Have a look at some of the threads on Delcohack about TRX100 and the stuff he does..........

SSS, procomp, speedmasteraus etc also all have excellent feedback on fleabay and yet we know the kind of crap they sell. The problem with feedback on fleabay is it's generally posted shortly after receiving item and not once the user has figured out what it is really like.

Problem I have with feedback on fleabay is a small percentage leave feedback after they have the item in hand,some leave feed back after installing it and driving around the block for a few min and some after only a few days....I have a box full of cheap Chinese electronics that let the magic blue smoke out a few weeks after being in use...... and after leaving positive feedback ......I wish ebay would allow say a 3mth feedback update which is appended to your orig feedback. I really do think it would make for interesting reading could even make it voluntary...These days I try and surf the forum's and reviews before I drop my limited funds

If i was the Op I would get in contact with The1 from these forums. Get him to send you a modified chip for your ECU. I say this as he helped me with my VS exec with L67 conversion. My car now goes better, shifts are better and averages at least 60km more from a tank. Also now runs cooler as the thermo fan comes on earlier. You really need to have the ALDL cable as well and log the performance and have it refined. In short get in contact with The1.

sorry dude I seriously thought from VR onwards they had vats hence the key fob. I stand corrected.
