Been a while since I've done an update on this thread.
Since the last one I reinstalled the Racechip One and changed the factory settings to performance level 2 as the standard settings only really sharpened up response etc. and added a wee bit of acceleration.
Drove the car by the scruff of the neck for a week or 2 and finally managed to put the car into a permanent limp mode. (SVS error)
Had to take the car to the main dealer to sort for me. Removed the Racechip beforehand. 70 quid later, New dpf pressure sensor, software update and manual regen of the dpf.
The car certainly had a new lease of life and goes much better. (maybe dpf was a little clogged.?)
The tuning box has removed forever. In fairness it never skipped a beat on the standard settings but the standard settings were less effective after the vx software update.
Anyway, I still miss some of the responsiveness of the tuning box so decided to pursue the pedal box route.
Had a few cheeky bids in on eBay with one of the German resellers but they weren't biting. 130-140 quid.
So tonight just as I was weighing up my options, I spotted a 2nd hand pedal box in excellent nick for 80 quid. It was previously used on an astra J but 1.4 non turbo petrol. I have read that the astra J ones are all the same so bought it anyway.
Should hopefully arrive next week sometime.

Also ordered a genuine turbo badge to replace the Cdti badge on the tailgate. I might shift the 2.0 badge to the left a bit aswell.
