After hearing you describe its lack of bottom end I'm not impressed either.
What a PRICE it must be real pretty !
Keep in mind I'm pulling 2 tonnes with my 2.5TDi, all I'm saying is I'd rather have boost at idle so the Traction Control light doesn't keep flashing once the turbo hits full boost. Getting 455Nm to the ground via the front wheels of a 2 tonne vehicle will always have it's challenges If I forget myself I can spin my wheels in third

I got my tuning box used for $400 so it was a pretty good deal. If I was paying the new price of $1200 I would have got a proper remap instead, and I would still prefer to go that way but it's a lot of money.

Keep in mind that a dealer charges ~US$400 for an oil change (& 'inspection') here.
