I've had 2 306's and now a ZX. I do lots of miles, around 30k a year and I prefer the hdi box.
It makes 1st and 2nd more useable but you do struggle to keep on boost in 3rd.
On a T2 at 20psi in a hdi box I've had genuine 120mph+.
however if you are going for a big turbo a hdi box makes it hard work for everyday driving. I have Joes T25'd, 11mm frankenpump with a hdi box and it's not an easy every day drive.
My daily is my ZX and that with 195 50 15's sits at 70 at about 2550 and is literally the best of both worlds.
