Capa First Series Boxes

[twisty1]

Hey guys,

I apologise if I've repeated any other threads, but I'm chasing some up to date info.

I'm booking a custom tune in the next couple of weeks and already have a Capa (Xcal 1, or whatever the first ones that came out are called) and I've heard a lot of conflicting stuff about them.

One tuner I spoke to said that he heard of a customers accelerator getting stuck on and it turned out to be the box... other workshops say that they don't use Capa boxes at all because they're 'dodgy' and prefer to use VCM.

On the other hand some of the bigger workshops that have some insane boosted Falcons (HiTorque) don't use anything else.

What I'm really trying to find out if there is any harm in me using the box I currently have, and if it all depends on the tune that they do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Michael.

You've been told some lies and yes your box can still be used if your tuner is currently registered.

This is assuming the box is not vin locked to somebody elses car

Well I wasn't 100% sure if it was unlocked, so I sent it to HiTorque (who I'm going to get to tune it) and they said it's unlocked and good to go.

Should I really worry about what other tuners say if HiTorque are doing it and they are fine with using the first series boxes? There are no problems with the first series of Capa boxes?

used mine on 2 cars in the last 5 years or so still works fine.

There have been the odd box failure but that was mainly in the early days.
