Has anybody tried Spider Tuning?

They're for sale on eBay at what appears to be a good price.

Lookie here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Diesel-Tuning-Range-...dZViewItem

They have good feedback, but \i can only find one person buying the TDV6 unit. I've contacted him, but he hasn't fitted it yet.

I've managed to find bolt on units now for £150 that boast similar performance figures and can be transferred from car to car.

Surely that must be the way forward?

If you're going to use a re-map, then personally I'd prefer one that has been created with all the variables in place. a bolt on box and only do limited changes and whilst may deliver performance increase by increasing fuel pressure (although the one you show claims to be unique) in that it does this whilst also detecting RPM. As I read it, it still only increases pressure (or decreases for economy mode) of the fuel and none of the other wizadry that the 'proper' re-maps do.

BUT, it is a cheaper solution and may do what you need. If you give it a go, please share your results on here.

That's just the trouble -it's a minefield. I understand that others claim to be far cleverer, but the performance figures are comparable.

I really don't know which is best - any reviews from forum users?

I recon Spider tuning is best for the TDV8!

We need Fly tuning! Back in the game!

I think the general concencus (based on previous posts about this subject) is if you're going to go for a re-map, get one of the fully implemented re-maps done as it takes into accouint all the engine variables.
But I'm sure someone will be along to say differemt.... Embarassed Bodsys Brake Bible
