Interesting watch.

I had a Darkside car go past me at Castle Coombe + a blast of soot just to up the embarrassment! Then found out it is a 500hp diesel ...Not exactly independent when a remapper takes a swipe at tuning boxes, nothing different to what I’ve seen and heard for the last 15 years...
Darkside have been knocking boxes for at least the last 4.5/5 years via their written blog.
But hey it’s a video on YouTube so it’s got to be right and truthful ...

That is true , I'm sure by now they've learned some lessons .
Like the second dyno result...Best to post a remap dyno result after some road .
Things change
Which it wasn't...Even then with remapping an automatic could restrict with it's torque limiters calling for some gearbox TCU remapping.
That's boxes in a nut shell tbh, custom map is the only way to get the most out of your money and doing it safely.I had a tuning box on my 2.0tdi A4 B7.
Supposed to take it from 140 to 170. It felt ok.
After deleting my EGR valve I needed the EML switching off so I went for a remap to give similar gains. The guy asked if I had a tuning box on as my valance was sooty and I was puffing out black smoke. Apparently all they do is overfuel the engine to make gains.
After the proper re-map in all areas of the torque curve it felt totally different and is better on fuel.
A tuning box is ok if you want to remove it and leave no trace, on a company car etc.
