Hi Peeps

Well i finally took the plunge and ordered the STS unit from Shark performance. First of all i would just like to say a massive thanks to Ben, I ordered the unit on Thursday afternoon and was told if i ordered before 3pm i would have it the next day So at ten past eleven on friday i took delivery of the unit, unfortunatley i had my works xmas party to attend so i couldn't really get on with the task of saving my current map off the car :no:. However the next day i got straight onto it and plugged in the unit and followed the instuctions from the PDF which i obtained from their website. This was a really comprehensive and very easy guide to follow, I didn't run into a single problem. Once i had the original map from the car i emailed it to Ben. He told me i could expect to receive the Stage 2 map by the close of Monday. So the next day checking through my emails, I had a nice surprise. Sitting in my inbox was my stage 2 map . I immediatley broke out the STS unit and connected it upto the computer and downloaded the new map, Once finished i went to the car and followed the instuctions and uploaded it onto the ECU.

Test run

WOW!!! This thing pulls like a train, unfortunatley it had been snowing quite hard and the ground was very wet (Even got wheel spin in 3rd ) The car has completely changed.

Overtaking is a doddle, you can really feel the kick in the back from the turbo. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Once again, I would just like to thank Ben for his time and effort he put into getting me the unit and map as quickly as he did

Glad to hear someone else has taken Ben@Sharkperformance up on his great offer on the STS ,had mine a while now and it still puts a smile on my face whenever i put the foot down .

what car was this on?

Mk1 Octavia vRS. Thanks for the review banzaiman, glad you're happy with it
