Tuning Box : Against every fibre in my body..

[Olly-Midd]

With every car I've owned, I've always had it remapped live (ones that can be) on a rolling road as it can be tailored to suit my needs per vehicle whether it be for performance, economy etc.. and I've always thought (and still fairly certain) you will get better results from a live/custom map and certainly if you have various mods/alterations. I have always been a firm believer of a 'real custom' map for a vehicle and have to admit, have frowned upon people who have a box and tried to preach to me how much better they are.

Well yesterday I went against every fibre in my body and opted for a tuning box from Bluespark Automotive who seem to get good all round reviews and comments. It should be delivered tomorrow and I'm not sure what to expect apart from a decent manual.. The price is considerably lower than a Live/custom map which is good but slightly worrying at the same time however if it achieves similar results to a 'proper' map without effecting the reliability and mechanical aspects of the car, then I'll be super impressed!

The gains with the box installed seemed a little high and I did question this however they advised that they were an average of customer results that had been fed back to them and I also think rated at the fly - which most companies tend to do to boost numbers...

My car as it stands is completely standard so I thought this would be a fair test for this box however I will in the not to distant future do a rolling road session to see the results with and without the box as well as on it's various settings (which to me sound like they will over fuel etc.. But this is yet to be discovered! If anyone is based in the south (I'm in Essssexx- we're not like they are on T.V, promise!) and are wanting to do a RR session, we could maybe get a better price with 'x' amount of vehicles.. just a thought!

I see a few people on here have them but for diesels and would welcome any comments with regards to Bluespark as a company and the products they sell/how you get on with it.

Let's hope I'm proved wrong tomorrow 'aye?
