Question To tune or not to Tune my D5 - Please help

Hi all,

i'm a noob so please be gentle... I know there have been many posts on ecu remaps and loads of debates on the best providers but i'm still confused having read loads!!

I have a 2006 C70 D5 SE lux and although i'm not generally a speed freak , i'd like just a little extra grunt at my disposal. I have concerns that an ecu remap could cause problems , especially with the transmission. i also need decent fuel economy as i travel 30k + pa.

what i'm after is some simple feedback from those in the know:

1. do these remaps do what they say on the tin?
2. whats the best/most reliable company?
3. is it common for problems to occur?
4. are increased mpg claims realistic?
5. should i combine a remap with hardware upgrades to ensure the components can deal with the extra strain?
6. any good installers in the west sussex areas or are the softloaders better?

thanks in advance for any responses
