It would be interesting to see whether they meet their power claims but unfortunately I won't be able to report on this until I've had the sat nav map update as I want to get it all done in one big hit.
I also have dice/vida to check out what it does, whether dpf fills quicker etc to give people a proper review

I'm sure it'll show some maybe all of the claimed increases.
Cars do go faster with tuning boxes. That's a given but you won't be able to tell how it's achieving this because the fuel figures are corrupted.
The corruption is also the reason why economy "improves" because the computer calculations are based on inaccurate lower fuel pressures.
The dpf data will be of some interest but how long are you intending on keeping the box connected for the sake of curiosity?
The state of the EGR long term would be interesting too considering the rich fuel mix caused by the box.
I think the only positive is that when you're done, there'll be no shortage of takers for the box so you'll at least get your money back.
