Hi you all,
Has anybody tryed a power box till now for a diesel 530?I saw a product called race chip, that "they" say it does wonders(30% more power, and also...%more torque).I would like an opinion from somebody that has it, or anything similar.Can you FEEL the difference?

I'd say forget the tuning box, go for a software remap of the engine, it will give you the same benefits without extra cables and buttons.

M-ai prins...

PS. You can FEEL the difference with a software remap, I know that for sure. I've had my old E39 525d software remapped and it worked wonders for it.

I have a tuning box and yes you can feel the power, cheap and does what it says, id rather a remap though as it is a proper solution to power and MPG, either way the box works a treat
