Cool.
Are you using the standard vauxhall ecu but with a signal generator to control it?
Ive just installed one onto one of my cars like that and it seems to work well so far!

I got a variable pot with the vaux ecu mate - tried in the mk1's in our club and it seems to work well - will be fitting over the next couple of weeks

Sounds like same as mine then, you turn the pot and a little circuit uses it as an input and then fakes a speed and rpm signal to the vauxhall ecu and give it more or less power.
Its a pretty cool system I reckon
