Why spend £395 on a tuning box when you can have a proper, well proven remap for £275?

i just want to know if the statements are true about the product and on the site?

i may not want to remap the ecu, id rather have plug in and out if its the same..?

No one seems to know or say much about them apart from, na there crap get a remap or they mess your engine up etc etc it cant do more harm than a remap can to your engine surely...

i just want some proper answers from peeps that have had one fitted or know about it. anyone can say negatives things about anything when they have never owned it or tried it themselves :p

They don't do the same at all, the only thing a plug in box can do is fool

the ECU into injecting more fuel.

A remap can change literally everything.

There are good and bad remaps out there though, so beware.

some guys have been lucky others havent. remap all the way for me. butonly from a reputable tuner. Dont buy remaps or chips because the company is cheap. buy the remap becasue the company has a very good rputation and aftersales customer service

hi badman

i have been looking into a remap for my new superb 140. AMD at lakeside seem to be the best in this area they have quoted me £400 for a full remap increase to 185 bhp.
