Because manufacturers leave large tollerances, This is for 2-3 reasons one being so that vehice has worldwide appeal, fuel qualities can vary massively mainly the sulphur content in diesel, also as a bit of a marketing ploy they will launch an engine holding it back on purpose to later launch a “sports model” with more power, normally this still scratches the power of what is availalbe.

Yes, it is essential to tell you insurance company of any modification no matter how big or small, there are several modified car insurance specialists who offer competetive quotes, they are not just there to serve boy racers and serious car enthusiasts but anyone who wishes to modify the look or performance of their vehicle.

Hi Gadjo,

Neither, the 9 settings are there to allow you to set the box up and fine tune it to your car, the 9 settings should not be thought of as Hi – Lo or Fuel economy and performance, simply to optimise the performance of your car with the box fitted.

No none what so ever, in fact a good portion of our customers report that the autobox responds better with the tuning box attached.

Hi L Canton,

Unfortunately not you will need to get to the route bottom of the emmissions problem first, as would always be my advice for any vehicle issues fix the problem first before modifiying anything in particular engine tuning.

Hi,
nice debate – just to let you know that people who fork out £500 for a remap are suckers for the remap marketing department. How can i say that?? because i was also one of those suckers and it still caused problems with the DPF. If your car’s going to have problems with the DPF at all – it will happen with both a remap and a tuning box. many cars have problems with their DPFs (particularly the VAG PD engines) whether they have been modified or not. The newer Common rail engines should be fine though. In terms of performance gains….. most remaps deliver lower performance than tuning boxes simply because they are designed as a one map for all driving styles etc – if you want it tailored – sure some will tweek it but urgh… the hassle.. when you can just do it yourself with a speedhawk…. often you dont actually know what you want in terms of performance when you get your car done – its only after a couple of weeks that you wished you’d gone for maximum or even reduced to try to get better MPG results. The only real advantage that a remap has is… doesnt affect the accuracy of the trip computer MPG. KK
