Default gearbox specially for the mapping r/r

my gearbox [ god bless its oil & mainshaft ] is not able to cope with a full map or session on the rollers , does anyone know where i can get a STANDARD g box thats not silly money , all it has to do is last a few blasts on the rollers ,then after that i can get a real one from you all know where

ive got to get it mapped cos everytime some complete bell end wants to rag it away i have no choice but to sit there helplesly watching them THINK they beat me , LOL

its quite sad really

any tips plz people ?

why not buy the bernie box (i presume) first, rather than waste money on a standard box if you think it wont last... what power are you running btw ?


i know the feeling though, the saxo boys take the piss thinking their car is faster... get it sorted, and then make sure you show them whos boss!!!

tbh, id see how you get on... if you can break a bernie box with only 220 bhp, you drive like a coont!!!
