Not sure about the vRS version

The Dragon box on my Octavia and the one on a workmates Megane both have adjusting screws and come supplied with a pot adjusting screwdriver.

I know other versions have adjustable jumper settings.

Cheers

If it's digital I'd have thought it would have a set of jumpers on it which could be changed...

Some digital boxes come with adjusting pots and others with Jumper settings. Depends on make of box and model of car.

Just keep going upwards until you get too much smoke on acceleration or until you get lumpy tickover then just go back one.

According to the instructions, when you remove the end cover there is a row of double pins. Moving the jumper, there is only one, closer to the edge of the case will render more power. Mine is currently set at the next to last set of pins and has a grin factor.
I will be trying the final setting on Monday on my drive to London and will post my thoughts.
So far I have only noticed one smoke cloud and that was flooring it after going slowly for a couple of miles but otherwise I have not noticed any smoke. I have deliberately checked in my mirror when accelerating to check but the results of the increased forward motion have grabbed too much of my attention to the front. IMO, it is well worth the money.
