A tuning box simply acts as a jumper..... it extends the injection pulse width and puts fuel in at the wrong point of the stroke which can lead to problems including bore wash.. Some more modern units are a fraction more intelligent - but not much. You might make a fraction more power, but not in an efficient manor. They are, and always will be a bodge method of tuning in my opinion. And they are the reason I have a td5 at the moment with FUBAR'D injectors..... Admittedly the customer had two units plugged and turned to max. You pay your money and take your choice.

Thx for the informed response Ian/Ada; it's what I anticipated really  I guess my hard earned would be better invested in some bespoke fettling rather than a plug-in bodge.

I use to have a tuning box on mine until Ian tuned it, when he took the box apart it just had a resistor in it, not a lot more. The difference with a remap is the truck is a lot more drivable rather than being just a peak of power. Save your cash and have it done properly.
