Hi, it will work but you must check the connectors are the same as I am sure there are 2 different types to the VP37 fuel pump.

It must be quite an old car so depends on how well the car has been looked after and how progressively the torque is increased - do you have a link to the device or the manufacturer name?

yes this is the item http://www.ebay.com/itm/262511511958?ul_noapp=true and i take care of the car she make 330000 km and driving good.

I wouldn't buy that - I think it's probably houses a cheap resistor.

I would look for a used box from Van Aaken, Tunit, Steinbauer, Original tuning box. For example:

and

thank you for your help  

No problem, if I were you and I wanted to buy a new box I would buy:

cost £105 very reputable company and a lot more sophisticated 2 channel device!

As @john2017 says, that looks like a "fleabay resistor mod", which "works" by spoofing the ECU into thinking that the engine is cold all the time.

 

His suggestions are "interceptor tuners" from known makers which work by adding variable trim values to the fuelling based on airflow and throttle position.

Correct the fuelling AND the boost.

I think this might be a hit and run post.

You can only change the boost with an electronically controlled variable geometry nozzle and/or an elcectronically controlled "wastegate" (used to mean any pressure limitter).

 

You might be right, in which case it may also be non-Freedom advertising.

For example, a device that can also 're-calibrate' the maf sensor?
