Despite the name, I've found useful info on briskoda.net for my SEAT, as well as the rest of the VAG range.

Most modern diesel tuning comprises chips or remaps. If it's a VAG unit that you're looking at, Revo's remap service seemed the most interesting when I considered it. I'm still sceptical about the power increases that any of them claim, though.

Avoid "over-ride" boxes that interfere with the sensors or fuel pump. You'd be better off with snake oil...

A little more boost is easy, just shorten the wastegate actuator arm a little
