CPA Chiptuning Powerbox

Has anyone ever heard of or used this company and their plug-n-play kits? I'm pretty much sold on a Manic tune once my mods are compliant with the stage 2 requirements but would be interested to see if anyone has any experience with this kit. They offer 3 versions with slight jumps in performance but the Pro chip seems extremely reasonable relative to the gains they claim

I've never heard of these guys, can't find any info on them other than they are based in Turkey, and I seriously doubt this does anything good, or anything at all. I wouldn't risk it. Just go with the Manic tune, they are a reputable company with a lot of good reviews here.

This honestly just looks like a fancy, more expensive version of the snake oil performance chips they sell on ebay.

And wouldn't you know it, they used to sell on ebay.... http://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-co...hp-torque.html

Why bash Turkey? Germany VW specifically can't build a real clean diesel without scamming.

If its Chipwerke they are actually in Los Angeles... Alot of the Audi guys are using them as a cheap alternative. Some of the S4 guys has put down some good numbers with the box...
