VR Tuning Box?

I just came across this tune for the 340/440 from VR Tuned. It doesn't seem to be too popular (the dyno tests were done in Europe), so I was wondering if anybody has heard anything good/bad about it just out of curiosity.

Agreed... need to see this properly tested. That dyno is as good as me drawing in the power curve with a crayon.

I'm not familiar with the VR box and although we use a similar harness I can guarantee that our processor is different as well as our software and mapping.

Are you referring the actual box? If so, no ours looks completely different.
