I understand that, but if an add-on box intercepts the signals from the sensor and tells the ECU a different level which the ECU responds to then surely the overall effect is the same as a remap? Same principle as the Power Commander I used on my bike. That sat between the sensors and the ECU and effectively modified the fuel map.

Sort of, it's like tearing bread instead of cutting it, you'll get the job done, but it's not as accurate or correct. Power delivery may be very sudden. MPG and miles to empty will be wrong. Will still tail off at the top end, have flat spots etc.
It will use a lot more fuel than a proper remap too. |

You can get remaps that sit on hand held units so you are able to remove then reinstall the enhanced map as and when you feel like it, going in for service for example. Best of both worlds and better than a tuning box.

I was thinking more about real live maps from the likes of BW chip tune and other similar places that are custom but stored on a device that allows self instal / deinstall.
