Tuning box - too cheap? any good?

So has anybody heard of these people?

Looks roughly the same results as promised by other tuning box companies. Will these claims be correct? are these things all they are claimed to be?

Do tuning boxes also change the sound of the engine?

Yes they can in some cases give more injection noise/knock due to the higher pressures the system and injectors are under.

Hi Ed, have you seen the one on eBay for under £80. Can't say if they are any good but I did email one guy who bought three and rated them highly. They clAim 188ps for the td4. Cheers YT
