I would also check the settings on the unit too, I actually moved the power jumper back Mine was three from the right with the rpm jumper two from the right, I moved this back to 3 or 4 from the right, so lower power, and the car seemed faster, maybe it is a balance between getting the most and over fueling??
I am now very happy with it, after a tankful the car feels alot more alive than before. At first I wasn't so sure, the improvement with the 163bhp engine seemed a lot better, but now this has beeded in I wouldn't want to go back to the car without it.
The other day there was an Audi Avant to the right of me pulling onto the motorway, we both floored it as the lights changed and we were both neck and neck up to about 90, at this point he started to pull away slightly, and then I backed off anyway due to the speed, I have to say that I was a bit gutted and started to wonder if I was actually getting 200+ bhp even??
Then as he crept passed I saw the badge on the back.....

I had to have a little chcukle and I really wish I could have told him that I was in a 2.0 diesel.
So I reckon the Spider takes the 0-60mph time on my auto down from 8.3 to around 7.5 seconds.
I have an AP22, I must set it up and try it out.
What settings have you put in yours for the E92??

I don't think that the ECU can adapt to the Spider tuning box. The tuning box intercepts signals from the ECU and modifies these but doesn't change anything on the ECU - It can't as the ECU is secure .
Tuning Boxes have develped over the past couple of Years and offer more variable adjustments but to my knowledge no Tunng Box on the market can decrypt an ECU.
Your correct about the balance and the overfueling. You should get the fuel and 02 mixtutre to max and try not to inject more fuel than the 02 can burn - else that's when the smoking starts and the injectors can get damaged and the car goes into limp mode etc.
It's a smug feeling knowing that a modified 2.0d can keep up with a 3.0d
You should think about de badging your car - will keep most guessing.
