  this is only a personal opinion but when you take into account that motor manufacturers spend millions of pounds on engine development , emission control etc etc, so as to get their vehicles to run efficiently and economically with longer service intervals ,is it really likely that these little 'go faster' boxe's (developed and produced at a fraction of the cost ) are really worth fitting ?

 lots of my mates have fitted these ' magic' tuning boxes at some expense, only to have them removed at a later date due to the facyt they have done more harm than good, apart from the fact that they just might invalidate your insurance if you were to fit one, thereby altering the performance of your vehicle, without informing your cover provider

One does wonder if it is just marketing when car manufacturers offer same models with versions of the same diesel engine in different power outputs. The 140bhp version might cost £1500 more than the 120bhp version but is it just a different chip & the actual manufacturing costs are no greater for the more powerful version?

Grampian 91 is right on the money. I have my own tuning company and tow a caravan myself. I used to sell the odd tuning box now and again but soon ran into problems. They are so generic in how they work they seem great on some vehicles and nothing but problems on others. So much so we stopped selling them.

If you can get a remap. It can written for your vehicle to a specification you require and adjust all sorts of areas. Boost pressure, pressure limiters, torque limiters, fuel duration, fuel pressure and the list goes on........and on!

If anyone would like any info on remapping and how it works or in's and out's give me a shout.
