I have had a Revo remap twice, once on an A3 and once on an A6, I wasn't that impressed with either.
I had an Emaps remap on our 123d and that was impressive, and a DMS map on our 535d touring that was brilliant, massive difference.
However, the most impressive tuning I have ever had was the D6 on my old E320cdi and the CRD-T+ that is on our current X3, both are tuning boxes and both sit on the turbo as well as the fuel rail.
Not saying don't go for a remap, but I would hunt our a Brabus if the right price as they are very impressive on you know what you are getting with them too.

I had the Brabus box on my CLS.........bloomin' lovely conversion and as smooth and unobtrusive as any "remap" I have had, it felt "factory fitted" in as much there were no surges, no turbo lag, a real smooth power curve increase.
Definite +1 for the BB.

I've been offered a w212 d6 box for a 265 bhp for a very good price but the problem is i have a 231bhp, now there are some people who have fitted the same box with no problems and numerous posts on the internet confirm this, should i fit it and see what happens?,or should i just bite the bullet and fit at the extra cost the correct box?,i should think its worth a try surely?

Contact Brabus, they are very helpful.......there is a chap there in Germany who gets mentioned as the contact, I am sure somebody has his details in here somewhere.
