I believe Marinabrian has said he does a 160 remap tailored especially for towers.

It seems to make no difference (to me anyway) in 1st-(maybe)3rd; but 4th/5th - Wow.
My mpg has gone up by 1-2 on local driving; 4-5 on a journey (to me more power/torque = less throttle). By my Torque App, I did 49.5 mpg on a recent cross country of 250 miles, and at times I was driving 'quickly'

.
Don't know about towing, though.

I wouldn't worry too much about the mechanicals of the engine. From what I understand the same lump produced similar power (160hp?) in the 3 series BMW.
