With all the high taxes in Europe I find it amusing that chip tuning boxes are cheaper over there than here.

My son found one for 100 Euros about $125

I just found another for $150

You can buy a Painless Striker II at Autozone for $149.99. I'm sure it's not the best box for our CRD's but it is cheap and available locally.

Across the Atlantic a bit more pricey - about 350 to 500 bucks for decent stuff.

...I would need to learn more Spanish :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks for the price info, competition is good to drive prices down with items that are Very High Value added.
I saw prices from Imotion in the $350 range on eBay. I may bite at that price and skip the plug in box option.
