I have been trying to for months and it just keeps eluding me, its very frustrating, paying too much, waiting too long. My new wait time is 2-3 weeks for The power enterprise s/c.
so my advise is, if you have an oportunity to get your hands on one, ****** it up, don't wait to hear what people have to say. as far as i've read on this board, everyone who has one (thats working properly) is happy.

Default PE300

I installed mine after just eight months of owning my xB. I'd have to say get it you wont regret it. But, remember that the SC isn't the only thing you'll need. Get a wideband. Some people can spring for a turbo or a SC and are too cheap to get a wideband. It may just save you from having to spring for a new engine.

also relize the other systems that will fail. the stock clutch will not last long....
CV's/axle's are small and weak....

^thats why I was planning a blitz system, but I can deal with 22-24 mpg for a while.

Has anyone broken anything in thier drive train with just the PE (aside from clutch)?

How has the TurboXS dtec gameboy thingy been working out?
Does it give you good control or the the xb's ecu fight back alot?

have not heard of anyone breaking stuff with the PE.
the clutch wears out fast, but nothing broke.
the PE kit and bigger injectors gets me 22 mpg (@87 mph avg) more if you go slower.

the stock axles and CV's are small and will not like being abused. if you can wait till you are going straight to hammer it, they will last.
