    Default Mate fitted a box but no extra power?

    Mate at work bought a tuning box for his astra 1.7cdti not sure which one but he paid £320 for it! (He says it has 7 settings on it and he is on no. 6)

    It hasnt made a bit of difference though is there anything he may have done wrong that you can think of? I dont know much about them becuase im a petrol man!

    He has it on no. 7 today but still next to nothing. It was meant to add about 25bhp but he reckons its lucky if it has 10! I know nothing is ever exactly right on the power as it assumes your system is ok but thought he should have felt something!

    Might have a peek for him with a big hammer
