There has been a few days since my chip arrived and I must say, every day I'm liking it more! :)

Low and mid-range power and torqe are now quite higher and it's almost possible to drive it around city without stepping on it hard to make it go :)

I have the non-VANOS M50 and with stock chip, low and mid-range power/torque is lousy as hell. This chip really turned it into a car that's able to drive below 3.5k rpm :)

Fuel consumption is down, power/torque is up, no pinging with 95 RON (91 AKI) fuel, idle is smoother... Thumbs up for MarkD! :)

Btw., there is a little relay box near the cruise control motor - and it doesn't have any relays inside! Is this cruise control related, since my cruise control is not working from the day I bought the car? Does anyone know what relays should go there?

Well, I drive long distances! My gf's parents are 400 km to the north (not a bad thing, at all :)) so I get to drive 800 km in a day or two every now and then.

Any ideas about the relay box by the side of the actuator?

Maybe you should be using your right leg on the gas pedal. My car is much more comfortable that way. :D

right, left, middle whatever it takes, i actually used my left a little to give righty a break when i didn't want to stop (12 gallon fuel tank and 15 or so mpg made for enough stops allready)

aux relay box, stuff like high/low aux fan relays and the power tap (used to add a aftermarket accessory without jumpering power from a existing circuit) lives in there
