If this is it (scroll down a bit, well ,with Firefox on Linux anyway), seems to have gone up in price a bit (£253 +VAT)

Yes thats the one, the site is a bit DIY/colour blind web designer!

Give them a call and ask for a discount, shy bairns get nowt! 2003 Vogue TD6 - Adriatic Blue - 2010 Facelift & 2010 20" wheels

2005 RRS TDV6 HSE gone
2007 Vogue SE TDV8 gone

All looks mickey mouse to me from the site to the information txt " better results with a map as our unit just increases fuel pressure and the amount of time the injector stays open " this cannot improve fuel consumtion in anyway. Far to many gone...

It's all very well fooling the rail pressure, but what about the injection maps, drivers wish maps, turbo pressure maps, torque limiter maps, pressure maps, turbo pressure by Patm maps etc. etc.??

You end up with an ECU constantly fighting itself? Used to have:
2005 FFRR 4.4 Vogue - BRC LPG Conversion & Remapped

Now have:
2008 SSRR 3.6 TDV8 - HSE and plenty of toys

totally agree , been there on a Navara D40 , abs load of rubbish , took off 4 weeks after install and threw it in a cupboard never to see the light of day again. Far to many gone...

All I can say is that the car is much improved to drive; improved pick up, smoother / stronger acceleration and fuel consumption has improved (proven with tank fill calculation). If I switch the box off the difference is immediatley noticable.
I was dubious before I bought but my experience is of better drivability and consumption figures. 2003 Vogue TD6 - Adriatic Blue - 2010 Facelift & 2010 20" wheels

why call they post the discount code on the basket page  Far to many gone...

I thought the idea of this forum was to share experience and help other owners? or was I mistaken.
For info I have nothing what so ever to do with the makers/suppliers of the box and will not be posting on the subject anymore as it seems to have attracted the attention of opinionated d*ckheeds with nothing helpful to contribute. 2003 Vogue TD6 - Adriatic Blue - 2010 Facelift & 2010 20" wheels

^^^ dont worry about it mate, you'll always get people of all sorts everywhere.

to me it doesnt matter what the website looks like, or the appearance of the unit itself, if it works, it works!! like i said before, for a 180 beans, why would you not want to at least give it a try.

on another note, regarding "proper" remaps, i spoke to someone yesterday, who had a "proper" remap and he said it was the best thing he had ever spent money on............ until about a month went by, and a few fill ups later and it want back tod how it used to be!!

i like the reversable nature of these tuning boxes.

just forgot to add, i will be purchasing one of these within the next week and will post up on this thread how it went, watch this space!!!!

Good for you Austin.
I hope you get the same results as me.
Good luck mate.

I'd be tempted to have remap on my TD6 but would like to know what else it may affect. Obviously the extra power must put a strain on other things.

Do people generally need new gearboxes or other issue after having one fitted.??

I think it's all about what levels you want to go to and are prepared to accept....

1) Plug in Box - Far from ideal, 'should' not cause any issues but really a Heath Robinson solution.

2) Standard Remap of Generic Map - Better and OK for 90% but remember this is a map that has been developed for a general TDV8 (or whatever you have) and is not for a specific engine.

3) Live Remap - When I have had upgrades / remaps done to my vehicles (be it cars or bikes) I have always opted for companies that at least ratify the works on a Dyno, ideally tweaking the map live on the rolling road so that it works as well as it can for the individual engine being mapped (be that new ECU or traditional Carbs & jets).

Having said this I will probably opt for the JE map as it's not the type of car where a small flatspot will be that noticeable (hopefully) and I would hope that 315hp & 800nm is not stressing the engine too much (plus it's not a sports car that spends a fair amount of time in the upper rev ranges).

Just my thoughts, but reading some of the posts I would have thought that the more fastidious among us would have looked to have a live map carried out on a rolling road and am surprised that no one has commented on this as yet...

Ditto totally agree or live road remap works well Far to many gone...
