Tuning boxes are a complete waste of money. If it is for the 2.5TD then drop TheBoy a PM and ask about replacing the chip in the ECU, he has a supplier that can get the chips for around £70 :y
-
what he said total waste of time a proper chip/ remap is the way forward imo :y
-
what gains can be got from a remap an whats the cost
an i hear the dtuk seemed to be goog on the astras i no they are a little newer an a 1.9 but there seem to be good gains ??
-
Which engine is in yours?
-
2.2 dti 16v 120
-
from what i can see these boxs look to be good an similer to a remap but has anyone had a tuningbox to say if there any good :)
-
I would say these are the usual snake oil. Looking at the testimonials there is one that advises someone to take 'the unit' from a Jag 2.2 and stick it in a 2.0 as it will work fine, no changes required. This alone should tell you that they are not going to work.
Any tuning must match the engine/ECU configuration so to be able to transfer it to a different engine means it cant be doing much of anything.

On that basis I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole.
