Box came from a company in germany MAL electonics, Just connects to 4 cables in the main ecu plug. Fully adjustable from normal power to 30% power increase.

The only accurate method of calculating fuel consumption is to brim the tank, use it, then re-brim.

My previous chipped manual-boxed TD returned 33mpg running locally around here - proven!

If you want to chip an auto, you'll need to exchange your 'box for an AR35 version.
When chipped, the 'standard-fit' AR25 will quickly go into meltdown.
Increased torque and all that!

How difficult is the Ar 35 swap? I presume that they are different in size and length, that would mean mountings propshaft swap etc. As much detail as you can manage would be great.
straight swap mind to use the ar35 tc

is your car a auto or manual. if auto make sure its got a AR35 fitted going by the nm the Ar25 will destroy itself.

So the AR25 and AR35 are identical appart from their innards??
If I buy one I just want to make make sure that I rip out all the extra bits(if any that are needed) from the scrapper
Also what mileage is too high for an AR 35. I know it depends on usage and misusage but any opinions would help.
