Is it a tuning box or proper remap he is after.
Tuning box =20% more bhp and torque
Remap =35% more bhp and torque and is tailored to vehicle with all imperfections of existing map removed.

What is the effect on the vehicle emmissions whith your remap box.

when you say remap, is it a replacement ecu or an addon interceptor box with a mapped variation.

also does it affect the base warranty.

also interested.

regards

Geoff

DJP

Afraid I can't offer you any advice but merely thanks for drawing my attention to this site. This looks like a price that I might be prepared to pay as my van is not underpowered but I would like the torque improved at lower revs.

Hope someone says somethig nice about them.

Ian

Can't comment on the company you mention above.

But I have used this company

I actually ordered from this company while Van Aaken were still in business. The price they charge 149 EURO plus delivery cost of I think was either 30 or 40 EURO was a lot less than Van Aaken and seemed to do the same thing.

My experience is as follows:
1) the product was deliverd promptly by courier
2) the product arrived very well presented and well packaged
3) the installation instructions were in German ... but were still fairly self explanatory.
4) because of my limited mechanical knowledge I had a diesel mechanic install it for me .... it takes about 10 minutes to install.
5) I have driven about 1500 miles since installation and it definitely delivers a power and torque boost making the drive experience much better.
(I have a Fiat 2.8jtd engine)

looking at this system it works by clipping onto the fuel rail pressure sensor therefore tricking the ecu to raise fuel pressure to push more fuel into the engine,be very wary as engines run on a high pressure fuel system already and putting more pressure on the fuel pump could cause major problems and a lot of expense approx £3-4 thousand pounds for new pump.
The best bolt on system clips onto the injectors allowing the injector to open for a longer period,therefore putting no extra pressure on the pump.

Wow - that must be one hell of a pump. Shocked

Would you care to point us in the direction of the Fiat 2.8jtd pump being sold for this price?

I would guess that 3k would include fitting and diagnosing the problem? But still on the expensive side.

For what it is worth my own experance is if you dont need a removable box you are better off with a re map. I have had a few TDI cars done and the best results have been with the re map.
