What are people seeing when they say it hits a wall?

Power cuts out and your head almost hits the steering wheel

I wrote a review previously but I think that it's quicker in E7 compared to C7

Maybe less torque more power but maybe that's what I think because it's what the instructions say to expect

It's not short of torque in any mode to be honest but it did feel quicker

What are your thoughts between C D & E

That sounds like overboost to me, I had a car in the past that did it when the boost spiked and the car cut out

Have moved it back to C8 as I think I prefer it, seems to pull harder lower down in the rev range than E8

[Smee]

I might swap back to c9 over the weekend give it a try see what the score is

This is what I found on C versus E, which to be honest suits the way you drive a diesel.

Lee - let us know what you think of C9. I've stuck with this and the car seems to have got better and better. Probably down to a bit of ECU learning that you noted previously. I've also had a couple of 'sport' runs to redline and no brick wall issues as yet!

damn it! i should of not licked on this post because now i am going to buy this.

I was planning to do MPPK in June as i prefer that over re-map for various reasons and tune boxes i consider bottom of the list as most of them are cheap and generic or asking too much price.

Bluespark - their website information and wording is very transparent and comes across as honest but most i would not even bother clicking on their website without @Smee review.

Impressive gains on my 320D and also cheapest option comapring to re-map or MPPK

Make sure you get the 10% and free postage

Top tip. The instructions suggest placing the box in to the little black cloth sack so the draw string is at the bottom where the connector goes in then attach to suitable bit of engine bay with tie wraps.

Its a bit of a pain cutting tie wraps each time you want to change settings so I've cut a little hole in the top of the bag so the connector end goes in that end and the draw string end is on top where the access window is.

Ironically, Smee had exactly the same idea!

Tomorrow. Promise!

Fantastic review thanks for writing it up. Was considering a tune but swaying more toward this box.

Wonder if it can be flashed like the Bluefin? That would be great as if and when I do part with my 435d x M, then I could use it on my next deisel.

That's liveable @ £35 insurance increase!

What sort of increase is this having on people's insurance premiums?
