I found on internet a chiptuning box which is plug in somewhere in engine. Power increase is around 45bhp and 100nm. The instalation doesnt have to be done by experts.Cost around ?150. Has anyone have this?Is it any good?
Cheers

Hello,
My humble preference would lead to a remapping instead of an extra chip box.
But it's not the same price...

My fear would be that the "box" verse the "chip" is that the box would be just a bunch of resistors causing the car to lean out and create more power, but unsafe power. I personally would get the chip, which might the safer choice. If you contact the company who claims at 45bhp increase ask for dyno sheets to ensure the car is running correctly with air fuel ratio's, this might solve your delemia.
