Default Tuning Box for turbodiesels?

Has anyone any experience with Tuning Boxes for their turbo diesel?

See www.tuningbox.com -- the product seems simple to fit, reversible and has been favourably reviewed. Wondered if anyone's used / is using one?

Cheers, Craig

If you obtain a copy of "Diesel Car", a four-weekly publication, you will find adverts from a large number of diesel tuners. I would recommend the offerings of Bromleys Tuning, http://www.bromleystuning.com as they have recieved good reviews of thier product.

All the best, Peter.

You can normaly aqquire 40% more power from a Diesel.

Allthough you use fuel ecomomy (Of course)

Lot's of black smoke but plenty of torque :)

Most tuners will stick at 25% power increase so as not to make the vehicle fuel greedy. The object is to get a smooth release of extra power and can even be done with mechanically fuelled diesels.

All the best, Peter.
