It's probably sh*t. Tuning Boxes (rather than re-maps) work by falsifying the readings from usually one sensor. With these you are much more likely to have issues like limp mode, EML light on and clogged DPF.

I agree with Tannaton, They usually spoof data from sensors to put more fuel through.
Go for a remap from a reputable company.
