Question Any opinion on Autofaszination engine tuning box ?

Whilst was researching about various engine tuning boxes, I came across .autofaszination tuning box for F20 116i. So I emailed them and was told it will increase the power by 18% and torque by 25%.
It comes with one year warranty and it's priced around 700e mark which is substantially cheaper than Hartge or ACS.

But what I noticed is , it connects to only 2 sensors than the common 5 in other ones.
Has anyone have experience with this product which can provide some details and feedback ?



Thanks

Thanks lefthander. I'm just researching to see if there is much difference between these brands and the performance gain is differ as well

But probably will go with ACS by the sound of it, although I don't want to miss out on something which could work the same and it's cheaper

ACS is connected to the can bus and no other brands has that.

Why would you want to connect to the CANBUS?

Chopping into that is a bad idea! If you have a network failure in your car attributed to this the dealership will know on diagnostic test. You will then have no warranty.

I am not saying don't do it. Just be very careful.

They will cover warranty issues anyway, that is why the product is rather expensive.
