looks like good vfm and transferable unlike a remap

Tuning TMC tuning box anyone fitted to T Jet 150?
Hey,
I have had my TMC tuning kit on my bravo t-jet 150 sport for the past year in conjunction with a ragazzon exhaust.
All I can say the TMC kit makes a big difference. Much happier to rev all the way to the redline, a good significant boost in power.
I have only good things to say about the customer service from TMC.
Go for It!

although i have the Mjet version of the tmc i aggre with the above post its great value for money and the service has been more than acceptable 
although i may have burnt out my clutch getting some kncking noises everyso often so will need to investigate further over the weekend and hopefully its not to much torque going though the clutch

it is a proper remap - have you read the info on the site or just repeating what the Hoff has told you?

A tuning box is not a proper live tailored remap. It assumes things about your engine, when clearly every engine is different.
Is this a tuning box or a live remap done on rollers?
you can go either way on this as when i got mine thinkn it was daren whos in charge said if needed the software can be udpated if you modify your engine so its not a Live remap but its essentialy still the same as a remap

99% of so called live remaps out there are nothing of the sort, most companies buy in pre-written files and load them in, then if they need tweaked they will ask whoever wrote it to adjust it slightly. Most people are in cloud cookoo land in respect of what re-mapping involves, in many cases the bare minimum of changes will be made as long as it gets results.
These boxes actually make live adjustments as the engine is running by using the camshaft sensor to detect RPM and adjust to various mapped settings at various rpm, our box is every bit as complex as a remap. Also it can be updated at any time if we further improve the mapping, this is offered free of charge to customers. Our adjustments can also be done live on the dyno or even live on the road whilst the vehicle is driving, I can also disable the box whilst driving to show the driver the difference in performance.
I recently looked at a 290bhp Abarth 500 tuned by a well known German tuner, it runs with a tuning box not a so called 'proper remap'
cheers for confirming that for me TMC is it darren again i cant remember but i remember you saying something along the lines that you could update the box if needed

try and keep the remap advice to threads where people ask for remap advice and box advice to box advice threads, it keeps the forums a lot more tidy and user friendly

True, but also doesn't give the full picture to anyone reading the thread.
If someone asks about fitting ditchfinder tyres should no one be allowed to suggest better tyres for the car?
I'm sure the TMC tuning box is pretty good, they've come along was recently. I'd rather have a before and after rolling road printout showing my proven gains and spent a few hours with the mapped.
I also wouldn't suggest a tuning box or remap on it's own. Breathing mods should be done to 'unrestrict' the tuneability of the engine.
The TMC Bloke said:
Not sure what point your trying to make. Anybody could remap/apply a tuning box and get OMGZ WOW figures but if it's not driveable or reliable whats the point.
I'd also bet a fair few pennies that a simple tuning box hadn't taken a 1.4 150bhp~ Fiat to 290bhp.
I'd also imagine the tuning box would have worked great had that owned just applied it to the standard engine, but the tuning box won't be taking into account the other mods that would have been done - a remap can do this.
If you're in some odd european country where there isn't a decent mapper then brilliant a TMC tuning box is probably going to be your best bet. However if you live in the UK and can be bothered to take a day off work to get your car looked at in real life then for the same price shouldn't it be considered?

you can do both some one on here took his tmc box to red dot and had it fitted there and got the before and after rr and the chance of independent tuners options on it too, there is a thread on here some where about it.
you only have to look through the op's other threads to see that they have had remaps in the past so dont need no info on them, that's why they have titled this thread to get advice from people who have first hand experience of the item in the thread title.
not another thread of people saying its not worth it who haven't even tried it. that is also against the forum rules btw https://www.fiatforum.com/rules.html

thanks for the info
I assume you mean this rule
- You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services
As far as I see it, I didn't belittle 'other products or services' simply expressed my opinion that a product I have used would be a better option.
So I recommended and praised a product I had used, and stated that the other product may be brilliant, but in my eyes not quite as good.
yes that is where you broke the rule you cant say that the product you used is better than another without trying both first hand
I never said anything bad about the TMC tuning box, infact the only time I've mentioned it is to say something along the lines of "I'm sure it's very good".
I was talking about tuning boxes in general - a field have experience in.
I said a tuning box is okay - this is fine as I've used tuning boxes in the past
I said a remap in my opinion is better - this is fine as I've used remaps in the past
The same way you would generalise RWD as being a better method of drivetrain to FWD.
