Default "DieselExpress" Tuning Box etc

Anyone running one of these ? I know many dont like them etc ! But they are worth a try and give a simple idea of what a "re map" etc will be like ?

My main question is what setting you prefer?

Looks like on a 1-9 scale , setting 3 is recommended the most for just adding that better feel when overtaking etc and not causing any issues etc

Going to get one off ebay and give it a swing , then might offer it up here for others to try

I doubt i will get to number 7 ? well...might give it a quick try !! Just thought i would try one and they are cheap (£40.00 ) on ebay for a good make . I had one on my Golf and it made me then move to a Full remap. never lost a penny on it.

Not going to want the car much FASTER , just a little more overtaking power. Once the car is fully "finished" and i know its running well. I then plan on doing the 305mm brake conversion . Need to see what Calipers i have etc and start looking for the parts. No point in the car been faster if its not going to have better brakes
