Chris has a tunit box and it gave him loads of power,, but the engine ran like a dog at lower revs so he removed it quick style.

TUNIT ... not good reports from me... power increase was great but it creates a really annoying misfire that appears between 1800-2800 rpm... just were ya need the power _________________ Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max LE | 265/65R18 BF Goodrich AT LTM No.60

You cannot software remapp the 3.0td as easy as others - to do these you need a soldering iron and you take the chip out - which causes obvious damage to the casing - this is what put me off _________________ 3.0TD LWB Citation |
