ordered my DTUK box yesturday and recieved it today.. got it for £213 inc delivery as im in the RAF so got it at trade price as he put it..

mine is the DTUK Green box so its built for economy but with the output result of 200bhp for the 150 mjets and around 210bhp for the 2.0 mjet like mine..

very tidy little box.. fitted it straight away with no great problems.. turned the car on and all was working well...

took it for a test drive and i could notice the difference in power in the higher rev range without a doubt.. (once warmed up).. bearing in mind it is wet here 1st and 2nd gear dont feel much different they do pull a little bit harder around the top end though. 3rd gear is a different matter as once in the higher rev range (2.5k rpm) the wheels started to spin and the traction control kicked in. pretty impressed with that...

took it for a slightly longer test drive all motorway driving to see what the fuel eco was going to be like so i put 15 litres in and it was on the mark just below half way.. drove it about 1mile out of the petrol station and it moved down to between that mark and the next one.. by the time i got back it was on the next mark in 11mile so at the moment i think its using more fuel then it was before so im thinking there deffernetly is something wrong with my car but it still is only early days.

the reason i got the eco one was because of fuel economy and i know TMC said it would only make it worse if there was a problem if i did get a tuning box but i wanted to see for my self and i wanted the problem to be amplified so i could make a deffernet answer.. also got the DTUK box because i know it will fit on the next car iv got in mind without any alterations since its the same map... for both engines... bassically a 1.9 150 bravo without the DPF.

another thing i also noticed when i got back from the steady motorway drive (70mph al the way) was the cooling fan when i was coming to stop was on as well dont think iv ever noticed the cooling fan on before especially in this weather...

my mate has the same engine as the 150 bravo but in the astra and he has that box on his and he has managed to get the 200bhp and 10litres to 150miles which is amazing so theres a few reasons why i choose it.

glad your happy with it, hope u dont get any problems,altho surely with the extra power and fueling your going to increase the amount of regeneration in the DPF??i got mine live mapped instead, i got good results of 205bhp/ 369lbs , just getting bit pissd off with the blk smoke!!lol.

what engine you got? the 2.0 or the 1.9?

im not overly pleased with it yet.. fuel is not good like it should be lol. im convinced thers something wrong with the car and last to look at is the EGR valve.

mines a 1.9, since remap my mpg has got worse for rnd town pottering about, i think its because it boost's up alot easier with the extra power, but on the good side on a motorway trip the mpg is better with the remap, ive managed 60-63 reading at around 80-85mph which im very happy with .. And i think for a diesel 1.9 its silly fast once you got the hang of changing gear often and making use of the power. I had a play with a young lad in a new shape audi TT off the lights and on to the motorway he wasnt going no where .. Im supraised you havnt noticed much of a difference ?? once mine was done it was like a different car. I think you need too book it in and get a power run on the rollers to see wots going on, Do a run without the box plugged in and one with it plugged in to see the results.. Most places charge about £45-50 +vat for 3 power runs.

well thats wot everyone keeps telling me that i should of noticed a massive difference... but i really havnt which leads me to believe there is a problem with the car. im really sick of hassling the garage though i feel stupid takin it in there now iv been in that often and they never find anything wrong..

i know what you mean mate, ive had to take my car bk for silly little things like rattles ,the steering pulling , and when ive gone back they have said theres nothing wrong with it! when clearly there is a problem, i think its got alot to do with they dont want to do anywork and they will try there up most to get out of claiming things on warrenty. I ve changed the dealership i go to now and they are alot better, maybe you could do this, aslong as its a fiat garage its fine for things like warrenty.
