Puma performance mods

Sorry to sound negative but you can't blame a vehicle for breaking when it's abused,there isn't to my knowledge any vehicle that can do prolonged towing in top gear without damage.5th gear is called overdrive for relaxed cruising and better economy,sixth if it's a Puma and it's there for that reason and that reason only.

Hello i have a 2008 130 2.4 we have a slide on camper it get along great on the Hwy but the hills forget it, Am looking at putting a Power chip in they say 30% more performance and Torque and better Throttle Response just after a bit more power with the camper on. What are people Thoughts on this, As i had a V8 ute with lots of power
Thanks Chris

I would not be using any "generic" chip.
A "specific" remap of your ECU is the way to go by someone like B.A.S. or Alive,...heaps of stuff on here about this stuff.

X2 for Alive, about too get my second map from them!:D

Wish the pumas had sailsburys still :(

NON issue. R380 the fith gear was sitting outside the box, lack of oil was the issue. Not so with the new box. all clusters are inside.
