  Kinda like opening an 8 pack of KitKats and finding 4 shitty Tesco basics versions inside, and being told &quot;Well they were actual KitKats when we packed them, it must be your eyes&quot;.....click

  Most places could just alter throttle response and 80% of folk would think it’s mapped 😂

  Thank you so much for this video. Very thorough explanation of the differences between tuning boxes and remaps. Have been tempted in the past to go for a tuning box, mainly because of the simplicity of fitting the box, but as your video shows I think you&apos;re much better off leaving tuning to the experts such as yourselves. Thanks again. Cheers, Jon.

  Dude the content of your videos always grips my mind . Love your content. Also, the pace and tone of your speech is just what I need to calm me down after all the hyper youtubers trying to make their channel interesting by shouting. Salt of the earth mate. Good on you

  Massive balls for doing this with transparency. Well done. Custom remaps will win every time, but I had a great result from a dtuk box a few years ago on a saab 93. Like you said, it was cheap at the time (about £130) so it was worth it. It was never going to be able to match a proper remap though.

  Your 100% correct about most these companies claiming higher figures than a good ECU tune. Customers believe it though.

  As soon as I heard the accent, I knew you were local to me. Thanks for saving me the cash, as I was tempted by RaceChip

  Same with the DTUK tuning box in my MK3 VRS tdi. Seemed to make a bit more power but throwing up fault codes all the time.

  I can see the difficulty you guys having telling people the truth without getting sued by those companies, well appreciated and most of us anyway we were thinking the same but now we know for sure because you did dyno more than one tunning boxes and on top of that that car performed way higher with the remap.<br><br>One might be wrong but since none of them touched the &quot;claimed power&quot; it&apos;s clear they never do and it&apos;s just advertising.<br>Anyone reading this comment and looking for a solution , it&apos;s clear now that remap is the only right thing to do.<br>Good job Darkside Dev.
