State of Essex .
Came in the post today fitted it in 10 minutes .I hesitated from buying on as i don't want a turbo car 20VT with on and off power delivery . My 16 VT is a bit laggy I am impressed with it . The car seems to have more low down get up and go . I have a boost gauge fitted and just put a new clutch in the car . Only driven the car up and down the road so far . Well worth the money .

Gtech just takes the boost limiter off 1st and 2nd gear which is why you're feeling like it's got more get up and go, fine in the dry but gets a little too lively in the wet for my liking.

It doesn't "just" remove the boost limiter in 1st and 2nd gear. It increases boost in all gears and also modifies the overboost, fuelling and ignition timing maps.

Almost every coupe tuning chip removes the boost limiter , as does using a manual bleed valve or (almost) any electronic boost controller. So if you have a particular desire to be able to floor it in 1st and 2nd without spinning the wheels in the wet then you'll need to be running with no performance mods at all and also with some incredibly good tyres.
