I have the CR box, hard to tell a difference, i think you get used to it and it is tempramental. Sometimes its great the truck will pull like a bitch on roids but otherdays its back to normal, there is a difference in fuel economy.
i.e. genuinely genuinely at 70mph on the motorway it does arround 38-41 miles to the gallon. didnt reset the trip computer and went to paris, south of france, spain, geneva with in 6 weeks and the average over the trip on the computer was arround 39 but i calculated 41.2 over 8000 miles, dad was a whitness and my girlfrend init just give em a holla.
the only really anoying thing is that the truck sometimes goes on to safe mode on any setting that makes a difference to the performance (obove 3 out of 12) when you keep on reving it over about 4000, but when it works it is great.

1) with ignition off and key removed, remove the 2 bolts on the plastic finisher. Pull forward on the finisher to remove itQuite Scary Productions said:
2) locate the ECU connection to the fuel rail and disconnect
3) plug in the spider to the ECU connection on one side and the fuel rail on the other
4) turn ignition on for 10 secs.
5) start engine and let idle for a full 2 mins
5) van is ready for test drive
note that the engine needs to be warmed up before attempting to install the chip

Sorry I took so long to get back, but been out of town. The papers I have explain the mod procedures....
remove plastic cover and frame off engine to fully expose fuel rail,
put a magnetic tray under the aft end of the fuel rail,
take a 14 spanner and be very careful when removing the pressure control valve,
there are a number of items comprising a spring and small ball as well, note the order they come out in,
place a extra washer next to the existing one [1.5mm] thick,
replace all the parts as they came out,
prime the diesel in the rail.
That's what the instructions say. I don't have a cooking clue how to prime the diesel system .
I phoned the tech who gave me these printouts and apparently this mod is to stop the system going into limp mode.
Also of interest is the advice to place a 8k ohm resistor in the brown wire of the pressure control valve found at the front of the inter-cooler. This will up boost by 10% and get the egt's down. You will see the valve if you look through the grill on the front rhs . It has a plug with 3 wires. The middle is the brown one.
I am no tech, but the above comes from a good source. A fellow who does a lot tuning on navs. He probably has a few more secrets which he wont give out.
Actually upping boost decreases egt, as you are adding more air. To be quite correct, you should add boost when you add fuel.Paullen said:
There is of course a safe limit to boost, before the explosion in the cylinder is so powerful as to cause catastrophic failure.
The Nav runs at 13 psi which is low boost so to speak. A 8k ohm resistor will up it to just over 14psi, thereby bringing the egt down and adding some power.
There is a boost sensor on the exit of the intercooler. This sends a voltage to the engine management which is read in boost. By adding a resistor, the voltage shown is less so the eng man system will allow the turbo to add more boost.. 10% or so.
