Tuning box advice!?
Discussion
I'm looking to tune my BMW 320d E90(163BHP). I want to improve my torque and bhp!!!
I have been looking at this one...
http://www.bhpplus.co.uk/speedhawk-diesel-tuning-b...
Has anyone tried a box from the same place?
Whats the differences between this one and the cheap ones they sell on ebay? Some only cost only £100 (on Ebay) but it seems to not be for specific models, just 'one fits all'. Surely the results cant be as great!?

Cheers for your help guys...
If I want to change my car back to its original factory settings wont I have to pay to get it remapped again £££££££££??? If you get your car remapped, is is swiped back to factory settings at a service?!
I've read, an ECU remap re-writes the manufacturers file on the ECU, it is a permanant upgrade and will void any manufactures warranty. Is this true?

Cheers Dave, you make sense and if I could afford just to get the upgrade, trust me I would! The fact is tho, I cant!! DEVO
It seems that remaps are good but its seems they have their faults too! Paying to get it remapped, paying again to get it remap back to original settings puts me rite off! Can mess up the warranty and insurance too! Plus, the box Im looking at says its works like a remap (i.e not universal and specific to my motor)but saves the data onto the unit rather than the management system which sounds good. Cant seem to find another one that does that.. Has anyone heard of something like this as I want to compare prices!?
I'm inches away from getting one, IM JUST WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE OTHER EXPERTS. cough cough (YOU)

Thank you for your comments LADS!
I decided to go for the Speedhawk tuning box! The expected enhancements (bhp, torque) for my car are impressive
(http://www.bhpplus.co.uk/speedhawk-diesel-tuning-box-common-rail-pr-16134.html?carid=93&box=true&Info=BMW+320d+177+BHP+E90+CR-3)and if they dont live up to those I have the 28 day money back guarantee! If im not impressed Im just gunna send it BACK! It should be here today so I will let you all know how I get on!
WISH ME LUCK!!!

I received my tuning box not even a week ago and ITS BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
Despite your much appreciated last comment Dave, Im going to have to disagree as I have proof (now I have purchased one)! Similarily to that of a remap, the unit works in the same way, i.e it has been specifically configured for my vehicle. In otherwords, its an external remap which is sickkkk! Mine has a remote control aswell, so I can have it back to its factory settings with a push of a button if I want, so I dont have to pay to get it remap back standard settings which is brilliant for tight fisted guys like me!!
The unit for my box is definetly not universal! The cheap ones off ebay are the ones to avoid, my Speedhawk tuning box at £325, although a little expensive, I understand why now!!
I just noticed aswell that mine comes with a data cable so that I can change the tuning programme if I decide to change car!!!
I will not need to use the 28 day guarantee!!! wooohooo I recommend to anyone with a diesel common rail lookin for performance!!
