If you want accelleration like you say, swap it for an S2 106 rallye box my man.
You will rev higher on the motorway though.

S2 box ftw mate, not sure how much they are, dont see many of them come up in good nic second hand these days.
A good 106 rallye is rare enough as it is.

s1 is shortest
s2 is next
then xsi box
there the boxes people favour to aid acceleration
