You didn't say in this post why would a remap effect the MOT? Regards to being there forever it could easily be removed. Why would you remove it when you have more power and better MPG due to having a correctly tuned engine |

My 320d is remapped, no DPF and it never smokes.
Tuning box's can give figures all day, that's not to say they actually deliver. Bottom line is no generic device which 'lies' to the car to make it create more boost is going to give a great driving experience. Tuning boxes were never brought out to compete with remapping, they are quick and dirty alternative for people who can't permanently alter their vehicle. After driving a car with a box, then the same car remapped, no one would ever say the box drives better. Like I say, it's been done death - there is no question that remapping is the superior way to increase power. It's just not possible for everyone. |

Just to add, a remapper can ( if he knows what he's doing) make massive figures if he so chooses but will admit that to do so will be unsafe. If you insist they will do it though and allow you to find out the hard way why they remap to a certain figure and no higher.
With an eBay resistor mod, I could probably get 460nm but doubt it would be sensible to do so… |

With my DTUK box there is no smoke at all and its safe as reading the reviews. Boxes are more expensive than remaps, the one I ave is around £400 from DTUK - its CRD-T box, one of the finest choices out there with 4 maps on it you can switch and alter the power etc. I am on +10% now and could go to +30% but I have enought of the power and wouldnt like to risk anything anyway so Ill leave it like that.
