Do these boxes have any effect on fuel consumption? Quite keen to get one if they dont! Also anyone else got any more info on them?

Tuning TMC Tuning box.
If anything a tmc box will increase mpg slightly. Pretty hard to get hold of as different gens. I wanted one for the esseesse but was put off, they can either work a treat with no problems or breaks things under the bonnet! General consensus is go for a remap as its safer for the car and will have more stable power figures, I didn't want a map as its more 'permanent' so decided to do nothing.
Maps aren't permanent you can get the wiped easily, you just cant sell it on like a TMC.
TMC boxes and the like are meant to be good but i really wouldn't say they are healthy for the engine. They just up the fuelling and boost pressure which can make things go bang.
Then remaps are dangerous too, but they are safer if done properly!
Be careful of some places, they will do exactly what a tuning box does, without the box if that makes sense.
Get a live rolling road remap.

I mean in my case i'm too lazy to go somewhere to get the map removed
I'd personally never sell a car with a map still on the car i'd have to remove it before. Equally, i'd never buy a car that's been remapped by previous owner! That's just me though 
I;ve got a tuning box from CHIP EXPRESS for my fiorino van 1.3 multijet diesel when i rang them about engine damage issues due to there product they will replace the engine.
They also are guaranty there tuning boxes for life

We are talking about petrols. I think they are safer with diesel engines.
Did you get that in writing RE the engine replacement?

I have used a TMC box on my AGP before with no issues - just tone the setting down and use the extra power respectfully.
Can't fault their support either, if you ever need to talk to them, they're there!

This is true, I bought a TMC box for my t-jet but then decided to do the vl36 upgrade and whatnot. I phoned them and they said you can keep the box plugged in as it has the same programming as the abarth. Didn't need to get a remap. The box works perfectly with no faults.
