There's only a few (two I think?) running 517 boxes - Amanda (doesn't post on here that regularly any more) and Daveperc who was the first to do it.

What mods and power are you running dave? I'd like to plan ahead for my next failure and want to avoid conversion to manual

Mine is also still doing good after 20.000km.
So for now the boxes they build at 517 are good but they way they do business is horrible.

Same torque I'm pegged at. If it wasn't for the unexpected box failure last time I would probably be on a 517 just now but you're reliability has me reassured
