OBD tuning is to map the engine management directly, and it is the best way to tune the engine. The piggyback boxes are just manipulating signals, trying to fool the engine management. That will never work as well as manipulating the internal maps.

I am pretty sure the engine can cope with 224 hp in a short burst, but it could cause problems with overheating if you use the extra power over time (track driving or high speed Autobahn).
Thanks for your answer ovekvam. I haven't done anything yet, I'm about to fit a cold air intake. Do you think it could help to cool down more effectively?

Fact is; i want to keep my Car as long as i can, like, for more then 6-7 years. I'm afraid this whole thing could harm the engine when i push it to the limit. Is it possible to adjust to power?
