1. It can be set (by them if I recall) for either performance or economy.
2. Supposedly you don't get limp modes with their module.

I think their device is still on their website store under something like "diesel module"
I have had the VAC tuner for 6000+miles and zero thrown codes, limp modes, or anything related to that.

The agency to handle Evolve tunes in the USA now seems to be the following:

Mach V Motorsports

Sterling, VA* 20166
(571) 434-8333
Dan at Mach V is the man! Really nice people there

My car already had the module installed when I bought it in February so i really can't say for sure. You can see my numbers below in that fuelly link. You'll see, majority of my driving is highway and I usually drive around 70 on the interstate. When in town I and am fairly conservative but will try to stomp on it just for fun at least once on all my drives
