Not many Alfas but plenty of VAGs
needing remedial work so a better market...?

Bluespark still do them, they seem pretty decent and good value.

Doesn't really make sense as to why Spider stopped doing them, especially as the development was already done.

Maybe they still have a few that they could sell if you emailed them?

I suppose plenty of people are going to be dissaponted with their new emission compliant VAG cars so will be in the market for a tuning box, but why stop selling the ones already developed?

I spoke to Spider this morning and they have confirmed they will be still supplying tuning boxes for all makes

they are having a revamp of the website but you can call and order

:thumbs:

The website is up and running again. I just ordered an imode tuning box for my GQV. The prices have increased from a few months ago (£400 to £450) but the alfaowner discount code brings it down to £315 which is a bit cheaper than before. £324 iirc

Looks like they now only list the more expensive boxes.

As far as boxes go they are pretty good, but they are now more expensive than a remap and most people would agree that a remap is a better tuning solution.

Plus there are other decent tuning boxes out there for less.

The discount code offered on this forum makes them cheaper than a before their website was updated. I spoke to someone there and they still sell the microboxes too.
As my gqv is still under warranty, I would rather have something I can unplug like this box than get my car remapped.

That is good to know. There was a point where they were selling their standard boxes for £140 after discount but that didn't last for long.

I can understand why you would go for a tuning box in your circumstances, same if your car was leased or was a company car.

But the remap does the job of improving the performance better if you are able to have one.
