Noticed the fuel guage didn't go down as much as it usually would on that run so all in all a good start. Did the same journey back but selected mode 7 and my god did the car fly... Didn't expect such a dramatic difference, it felt effortless to drive. Definitely reccomend getting one of these, especially those of you that do frequent motorway journeys!
Thank you for your feedback! ;)

It's been almost 3 weeks now, did you notice the 20% fuel save?
Well mate my fuel definitely seems to be lasting a longer, not a huge difference but most certainly noticable. The response of the car and how it handles now with the tuning box make it 100% worth it.
Nice! Thank you for your feedback :)

I agree Jack, you do feel a difference, even a 30 hp and 50 Nm additional power. Boot when overtaking and it's great, I'm 58 but sit feel like a boy racer.

I've joined the ranks of TDI boxers today and taken my 125 up to 155 output. Very easy fitting on the Puma as both sensors visible at front of engine. Though the boost 1 sensor's a bit fiddly as behind a pipe...
Currently £305 Inc vat

Not had a chance to really see the difference yet today but I've already noticed a difference at lower revs (local drive in 20mph zone London)

Looking forward to passing the 40 mile point and finding out the full difference.

As a matter of interest where did you fix the box in the engine ??

If you’re looking in the bonnet it’s rested on the far right corner where the bonnet hinge is. I’ve used Velcro cable ties to fix it in place but to be honest even without them it stays where it is

Hi @JackTheLad87, how's going your puma after one year?
I'm gonna get a tuning box, I should have bought the 155HP XD

Same question

Does a tuning box kit exist for the Automatic?
