Liked the look of it.

Re: JTD tuning box - take a look
But, what you pay for is what you get.
Do you think that something that costs £130 is going to do your Alfa any good? AutoLusso are always getting praise on here and I doubt they'd sell anything crap.
The link item you had looks like a 'piggy back' item to me, were as the AutoLusso 'P-Box' is something that becomes part of the cars running system, so seems more reliable.

Re: JTD tuning box - take a look

Re: JTD tuning box - take a look

Should make the girl fly
Be worth the fuel and time to stay over to have the £1.5k odd worth of work done

Re: JTD tuning box - take a look
Not all re-maps work, you got to be careful which one you get.
Also, with a P-box when you sell the car on you can take it out and put it in your new car, the remap stays with the car you sell...

New calipers eh? What are you thinking exactly? I think getting on a group buy on the gtr forum at the moment for a big brake kit, sick of waiting on Brembos and its too much work to make them fit.

To be fair, I don't think you could go wrong with a P-box, but you need to be sure about the remapper you use.

Back on the road: Alfa 156 3.0 24v V6, Silver with red leather, Q2 diff, 17" GTA Teledials, headlights & inlet manifold, AutoDelta carbon intake,
SuperSprint exhaust, Dastek Unichip & FK coilovers - my 245bhp beast!
Gone but not forgotten: Alfa 156 2.4 JTD Veloce, Vela Blu, Angel 'mad map' & BMC CDA, Ferodo DS2500s - the fastest tractor in town!

I just want a really good set of brakes, the car is a pig to stop now from speed, so if I am gonna put on a P-Box and a Q2 gonna need better 'anchors'
