What tuning box?
« on: 05 May 2006, 11:06 »
Hello all.

Seem to be a multitude of companies selling tuning boxes for various prices.
Is it a case of "you get what you pay for", or are they all pretty much the same?
A lot on ebay just now, anyone tried them, or best stay away?

Thanks for any advice.

by tuning box is this the chipping thing?
I ma also very interested in this

what kinda price r we talking, and is it right to expect it to put the bhp on the 115 pd engine upto between 25 and 35 extra, also how will this affect the economy?

its bull all they do is screw ure air intake and fuel intake so u can go faster but keep in the parameters, fuel economy will go down, yes it is a case for what u pay is what u get..


u wanna get revo re map for stuff liek this 399.99 + vat but they fiddle with ure car the right way u get better economy coz they increase the torque so ure car revs less which means u burn less petrol...
