Ive read that apparently "cheap" tuning boxes can and probably will damage the DPF and EGR Valve. Is their any truth to this? Im conisdering buying one on ebay from Germany. My head's telling me if it's coming from VW approved Germans it will be fairly safe to use.

Cheers

Get a remap, site sponsors are remap experts and will do you a good deal. ebay not good and from another country awful.

What car is it?

You might not have a DPF.

dunno if i wana put £200+ into it mate. Prb upgrade in a while and at least with a tuning box i can swop it if standard BHP is th same or sell it and buy another one. I wouldnt think twice about re-mapping if i was gonna keep motor long term but I can see myself going for another B5 facelift, 130 sport. Had one before and loved it.

I'd swap my missus for a new AFN
