Speak with Bernie mate.

I could only afford to get his stage 1 box and so far it's been good as gold with 265lb torque going through it. Bernie's a top chap

You broke a bernie stage 2!!!!!!! I only know of one other occasion of this happening and that was just a seal! Must have been something wrong with that one cus those stage 2's are supposed to be bullet proof upto 300bhp.
