Hey guys, I was speaking to a company up in ballymena about getting this done on the is220d, apparently it isn't possible on this car and the only thing I can do is get a tuning box, is this true? I'm sure I heard guys talking about it on here somewhere.

I think they are right, but I got a Tuning Box when I had my 220d - it was about £300, super simple to fit and gave improved performance mid-high range, but not much low down, i.e. still had that terrible "lag" when pulling away, etc. Fuel consumption stayed pretty much the same (they said it would improve it...) so not sure it was worth it and eventually took the thing off and sold it on e-Bay. After having it for a year I did notice the slight dip in performance after I removed it but not much. My view - not worth it (also invalidates the warranty and ups the insurance premium by a little).
