I've just pulled one yesterday from a Series 1 VS plated BT1 vehicle but haven't removed the blue cover as yet.

I'm about to do the same and do the swapsy on my sons VS as that one has no LPG fitted with dual fuel Memcal installed like two of our other VS's on hand have. This way the comparison becomes a level playing field.

Once I've done this I'll report back to advise if I noticed any substantial changes at all.

Cheers.

BTXP is a standard VS tune not BT1 as far as I'm aware, it's certainly a later one with a fair few revisions to fix **** that comes to light once the cars have been on the road for a while.
