Tuning boxes are utter utter tosh so this SA Tuning thing seems just the job..
I’ve never believed (or experienced) the ‘increase in MPG’ that all these firms claim. You don’t get something for nothing and I tend to always be in a hurry!
Very tempted...

The only thing that I don't like about flash tunes is they are kind of one size fits all. However the ECU has some degree of freedom anyway, so it can adjust for most conditions.
The best way is of course to put the vehicle on a dyno and tune it individually.
My latest Harley Davidson motorcycle that I have been working on gained at least 10MPG more on motorway use, plus a cr*pload of HP and TQ by being dyno tuned by someone who really know those engines.
So power+ plus MPG+ is possible - but you can't really have both at once depending on you heavy your foot or wrist is.
But that's fine with me!
