Depends on what your after, its not really a night and day difference with a JB4 for example. I was able to find a used one with Bluetooth for $175, at that price I think it is worth it, basically wakes up the car in the mid range.

I'm an old school car guy, give me carburetors distributors with points and I'm good. My question about the tuning box may sound dumb. What is it, where does it mount and what does it do? I do like to go fast!.
we have had our 02 for a little over a year with not much driving time as it has a couple electrical issues and I have not had time to devote to the car. It was going to be a fall/ winter project. Now a winter/ spring one as I had open heart surgery September 30th. I enjoy reading the forum and seeing all the help and tips that everyone has.

It won't make your car fast by any means, it just raises the boost in the midrange, total boost at the top end remains unchanged for the most part as our turbo is small and runs out of steam up top. I bought one used for under $200 and I think it was worth it, not sure I would be willing to pay full price imho.
