Remap is a better bet.

The tuning box can only alter the fuelling unlike a remap where a remap will alter many different parameters.

That and when you say 'tuning box' it could just be a 16p resistor in a box, they are very common on eBay.

Turbo life can depend on how much of a hard life it's had. But it isn't a 'commom' thing to go.

That torque is slightly low in my opinion.
