Hi croxalla,

Yes, I fitted the Nitro-X module to my XTX, and thanks to Pleiades for posting up a link to my old thread so promptly

I don't think any of the fuelling mods will fix the popping you are getting, they're there to fix the fuelling issues, not the popping. Mine pops a little on the overrun or decelerating on light throttle openings, but I don't mind it doing that, does no harm and it sounds good anyway!

But as far as fuelling mods go, I definitely wouldn't recommend the Nitro-X. Don't believe the bullsh$t in the sales blurb, it's written to make people think it's a "Power Commander" but it's nothing of the sort - it's just a resistor network. The bullsh$t about "programming" just refers to setting the DIP switches. The Nitro-X is wired into the ECU instead of the IAT sensor (inlet air temp) to fool the ECU into enrichening the mixture.

And therein lies the main disadvantage of the Nitro-X; once it's set, it ONLY works for one given ambient temperature, unless you're going to adjust it every day! Your best bet by far is to fit a Kev Mod. That allows you to just dial in your desired enrichment and because the IAT is retained, it will take care of the daily ambient temperature changes automatically.

If you haven't already bought a Nitro-X, then my advice is DON'T. If you have, then sorry, but chuck it in the bin and buy a Kev Mod!!



Cheers,
Dave.
