Simpletons

Diesel tuning boxes are highly rated! Not had dealings with any but heard good things, local firm to me fits alot of them!

Give you a few extra MPG as well as ponies too which is all good

What I don't understand (as a noob), is if its so easy to get more power AND better mpg, why don't the manufacturers do it in the first place?

It will wear the parts out quicker in theory hence manufacturers will have it set for longer lasting parts e.g. more power will cause the clutch to go quicker along with other parts in the engine / transmission.
