Default Experience of tuning box towing cdti

Hi all

I have a ztt diesel with a tuning box. It drives better than my remaped diesel 75 did. More torque and horses so probably at least 170 hp. My question is do I trust it to tow the caravan with or do i put it back to the 135. Any experience out there?

I got one because I tow a caravan and my car is a CDT so down on power anyway compared to yours. It worked ok, less gear changing but I replaced it with a 160 remap. I bought a synergy tuning box

I had Brian 160 my 75 and the ztt leaves it for dead with the tuning box. Full respect to the 160 but I was blown away with the difference. My worry was whether the extra load would cause problems if the engine is already running out of the norm. I don't plan on rallying it with the caravan but just wondered about others experience.
