OK, so towed with it at the weekend, what a phenomenal difference the 180 map makes.

This short little hill http://goo.gl/maps/YqYfv on the A30 normally has me in 3rd at a little under 40 by the time I reach the top. With the remap I was sitting pretty at 47 in forth.

Accelerated up to speed a beautifully smoothly and noticeably quicker and easier than before. Less "shake" from the DMF than with the tuning box as well.

Only fly in the ointment is that MPG on the MFD is still down on what it used to "indicate" :( Very chuffed otherwise

Now you're torquing.

Not surprising, but consider:
1. You now have more power. Power is developed by burning fuel........
2. Due to the tuning box, it was lying to you previously.
