Why not ECU remap. it is better. IMO.

" Why REMAPPING over TUNING BOX?
The majority of tuning boxes on the market will only increase your fuel pressure / injection periods. that is increasing Fueling.
Most the time you will not get an even spread of power due to the delay in the tuning box circuitry processing sensor signals before they get to or come from the ECU. That is resulting in spikes in the power unless a Standalone unit.
With a remap you will have none of this trouble as the ECU is processing everything. It is also impossible to remove the Engine limiters ,Torque limiters, turbo limiters etc among other things with a tuning box."

There are ECU remap companies in Sweden. Google is your friend.

Get an ESS tune, it's the best tune around and way better than GIAC IMO. The tuner shop down the road from me use to be a GIAC dealer and doesn't even do that tune anymore he commented it as "Garbage and doesn't give enough gains, I was dissapointed in its performance so we don't carry it anymore". As far as the plug and play crap, if you want to waste your money and screw up your engine go for it. ESS all the way
