Hi chaps - new to these boards but have been looking at tuningbox.com. for Tdi upgrade sounds good.
Has anyone used Tuning Box yet?
I've read the english articles - just wondering if any French speaking person can translate these two pages for me.

Thanx AL by the way.

What does anyone think about the difference between using a Tuning Box product or having a chip upgrade, considering they can be a similar price (for a Tdi 110 least). I understand the principal difference but why go to the trouble of having a soldered chip upgrade rather than a plug and play box?

Look at www.psi-motorsport.com
they produce very good upgrade boxes with less black smoke when at WOT than the tuning box.
Before I had one tuning box, now a PSI and it's far better.
