I'm thinking about adding a tune-up box (don't know what else to call
them, those electronic box of tricks that alter the ECU) to my 307
DTurbo (110 bhp HDi engine), and I was wondering if anyone had any
experiences with them.

There seem to be two models which fit the bill; Van Aaken and Tunit.
Both around the same price and offering about the same increase in bhp
& torque. Does anyone have any experience with either, and which is
better?

Van Aaken have a very good reputation. I dunno anything about Tunit. Also
have a word with Allard http://www.allardturbosport.co.uk/ - they've been
tuning diesels for yonks.

had a peugeot 307 2lt dt 110bhp.
added a tuning box to it took bhp to 128
made a good difference throughout the whole range.
was very impressed with it.
