Mine came from Greece also. If you want to sell you have a client right here in Arturasz
I like mine as it has also cleared codes from Mrs A's Octavia when the local cowboys decided to disturb her Airbag system whilst trying to fix her rear wiper - how ? No idea.
It works for me. I don't rely on the long term gauges much but I do compare AVE (average MPG) to MPG (live MPG - which updates far more often than the VW one - about twice a second) to get the best MPG. I also watch water temp, intake temp (both useful if grill blocking) and MAP. I don't quite get LOD (LOaD apparently) but GPH is pretty good.
The only real measure is the tank to tank fill up, everything else is just an estimate anyway. And even that is tricky with expansion tanks, vents and so on.

I will add a thanks for the 1.4L hack. When I unplugged mine it forgot about being in a 1.9 VW and decided I was burning more GPH that it had on my system before - the 1.4 hack returned it to normal. I will need to recalibrate I think.
Art - If you can increase your (already impressive) MPG by 10 then work out what you would save on a tank. If you can save the equivalent of the cost of the SG2 in a reasonable period, say 3-6 months, then go for it. Otherwise what you have is just fine.
