FOCA Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hello and welcome! - the tuning box should make a significant/ noticable gain in power/torque, especially if it is an expensive digital one, designed/ set up for your car - a cheaper one may not work so well, and a "resistor" one may actually lose power - it may require an ECU reset (watch you dont loose you radio code) - i recommend you fit an EGR blanking plate (solid, stainless steel about £5) - there is a fitting guide on the forum - another thing worth doing is getting a DPF delete, phisically/ electronically - this will cost a bit more - some firms do a package deal with a remap - the remap should be a bit better than the tuning box (in general- there are pros and cons) the panel filter should make the induction a sound a bit louder and tuning/ changes (eg- tuning box etc)can often change the loudness/ character of the engine sound anyway - you may have to inform your insurance - even for the window tints/ gells - modifications are a personal/ subjective thing - ultimately its what YOU like/ want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One mini using Ford OC mobile app Lennys guide to fitting the EGR blanking plate - http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/42915-guide-fitting-egr-blanking-plate-16tdci-engine/ Normally the DPF removal would be done by a professional, it requires cutting the DPF open and welding it back up, for the phisical delete, and it has to be mapped out for the electronic delete Sent from my clapped out laptop using a dodgy copy of XP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
