Hi Matjam

That company DOES manufacture there own units. There box was originally developed for the Rover 75/MG ZT CDTi which uses a modified version of the BMW M47 engine (136BHP version). I was one of the "test pilots" that helped them develop the "maps" for the tuning box. Since 1000's of boxes have been sold for this, and the BMW, version of this engine under there money back gaurantee. I am not saying this is better than a remap (although on this engine it produced 20BHP more than the same car remapped). The point i am making is that there are some UK companies out there that produce good tuning box products at a reasonable price. This company, designs, tests and builds there own units.

Having used this unit I can vouch for the results obtained what ever the method used. My car ran for 70K miles with this box and consistantly out performed a remap. In fact the company that provided the remap (i will not name them) were alarmed that the tuning box could produce 20BHP more and came back and did a custom remap for my car. That produced another 4BHP but the tuning box still out performed it by 16BHP top end and more low town torque below 2200rpm. Also, as the car was then modified further (de-cat, sports exhaust, boost upgrade) the box was adjusted to suit the new engine conditions.

I am now going to be a "Test Pilot" again for the 330d engine as i was before and am confident the tuning box can equal, or exceed, the gains seen by a remap. Based on what we learned before I would expect to see more low down torque too.

PS - I like remaps and boxes, I am not here to start a war - only to share my previous experience!!
