ebay = bollocks. steer clear unless you know EXACTLY what your looking at. theres a reason big power boxes cost big money.

That box is absolute bollocks. He's hyped it up saying its got uprated Diesel gears for extra strength, it's just a regular diesel box that will shit itself as soon as any power is shown to it. 300+ BHP
