There's a lot of them in use on Westfields and Cateringvans, SBD are pretty well respected and produce a lot of very good kit. A good supplier but I've never bought their throttle bodies or ECUs.

is this for the c20xe engine?
vauxhal 2ltr 16v?

the 208 kit is very good, although the kit can be made cheaper. And the map that comes with the sbd software is just a base map.
For £1600 + vat i beleive it is you may be able to get a better setup

SBD use jenvey bodies as far as im aware and there not too expensive, then get yourself along to emerald where they will sort you a full mappable ecu, mapped for about £800
it will work out the same price but will see better gains.

Also you wont get the 208 figure they quote, many people i know always get around 198 bhp with that kit, but if you add head work and cams etc then 215 is acheivable

also - make your own loom saves £300 from SBD
