Hi All,

Cheers,

Thanks Sirbuynsellalot,

Is it this one,

Doest it give you both BHP and MPG on the same map or does it need updating?

Cheers,
Neil

Try one from www.tuning-diesels.com

S'where I got mine from and it not only improves power and torque but gives me 10% more MPG too.

I would definitely get a remap rather than a tuning box. They do 'work', but it's a crude way of getting extra power.

But then if you have a tuning box, you have the option to go back to standard when you want in moments.
A remap is the best way though to make sure things are working at their best - especially if you've modifications like a decat, larger intercooler etc. If I get the airtec cooler, I'll certainly be getting it live mapped.
