We explain the term tuning box / tuning box! A tuning box is actually a small black box that contains electronics. This tuning box / tuning box is connected upstream of the OEM control unit and can usually be installed and removed very easily. The tuning box / tuning box shows the OEM control unit a "wrong" value, so that the manufacturer's OEM software corrects the sensor values within the parameters specified by the factory. This leads to an increase in performance. The increase in performance through the tuning box / tuning box is therefore also limited. With a correct chip tuning you get significantly better values to increase the performance.
Power box disabled: legal or illegal to use?
The big advantage of the tuning box / tuning box is that the original software is not touched and the control unit is not damaged. If things don't go well, with real chip tuning after the service visit to the authorized dealer, the additional performance is gone again, since an update is now commonplace with all manufacturers and this update may overwrite the tuning software.
A disadvantage of the tuning box / tuning box is the fact that the incorrect sensor values mean that the engine may not go into the emergency program and may endanger the engine. A reputable tuning box / tuning box therefore only changes the values of the high-pressure pump. Curious whether your car can also use a tuning box? Have a look at the guys from Auto Technik Bihler and let them advise you! p.s. What actually happens if you add a tuning box to a vehicle that is already equipped with OBD chip tuning? We thought about it!
Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
