Technical remap a 1.3 mjet 90

just want to close this thread with some news

a friend of mine works in a breakers yard in leek, a 90bhp GP came in late august and it had a tuning box, he nabbed it for me.

I fitted it yesterday, there are a few settings [its set to sort of middle - power/economy]

already, the difference is quite substantial, the lag that I was suffering has come right down, so its more driveable especially pulling away, power throughout seems perkier

doesnt make any smoke, which pleases me.

done around 100 miles on it today on a variety of road types, its just a much better car.

got my MOT in a couple of weeks, will see how it does.

end of the day, it was free, and it can be taken off as easily as it was put on.
 
Don't these tuning boxes work by tricking the fuel pressure sensor so the fuel pressure is increased permanently?
Seems like this won't be good for your high pressure fuel delivery system in the long run.
 
probably, this box has 8 settings and its on number 3, a remap would surely do much the same thing [but in a more refined way] as on a diesel to get more power you need more fuel

tuning boxes and remaps always divide opinions, I could barely afford a box so was happy this came free, a remap would be better suited but is much more money

and if it turns out its not for me, it can be removed in 5 mins.
