I was thinking about trying one of these until i read the bit about you NEED this tuning box.
Looks like a couple of resistors and a couple of variable resistors, Site says you cannot get an MPG improvement without them.
People sell these on Ebay as performance boosters. Charging upto £30 for a simple resistor, You replace the air temp with a fixed resistor that fools the engine into thinking the air is cooler than it really is. Improving economy or power.
Not going to even bother testing it now, Did you also read it requires distilled water?

Hi
New to this but i think i would like to build a camper using a new van i have a budget of 15000 is it possible ?.I'm a airframe fitter by trade so i have a skill base.
lots of advice please.
Hiya mate
I've just converted a Peugeot boxer 2.8 from a standard van into a fantastic motorhome.like you I have a reasonable skill level which does help. My advice to you is plan out the project in full before starting, and my advice would be to build actual size units / cupboards / toilet cubical etc with a selection of cardboard sheets and boxes to get a feel of what the layout will be like, I did this and it worked a treat.
The estimated cost of all the necessary items you require will be around £4k that should cover you for most things required but shop around as you will find a big difference on some items.
One other thing to bear in mind is that you will need a good selection of power tools, and I would recommend a decent table saw.
Be patient and take your time and you'll be OK
------------- Regards
Steve
