If I fit one of these here tuning boxes and then remove it before I go to VX for service, can they tell you have had a 'box' on your car (with Tech 2 or similar)??

Please advise....

A service just consists of changing the oil and a few filters. They are not going to search around looking for evidence of a box. I'm sure they have better things to do! Like getting your car finished so they can move onto the next one...

What he said - but in answer to your original question, no, there should be no trace of having the box fitted once you remove it.

Now then, whats the best box for a 1.9 150???

I dont want to lose all my economy BTW.

Well the cheapest is the "Caterman Special" for around £65 but the other end of the scale is a Spider box from diesel tuner for aorund £330 (with discount). I dont know about the Caterman Special, many people have bought one and it works fine. I have the Spider and that is very good - more sophisticated in how it works, but more money.
Also your fuel economy will be hardly effected. In fact if you drive steady with a box it will most likely improve (if you can keep your right foot off the pedal!)
