Review on Pete's box

A month back I installed Pete's box on my 18months and 39K kms old Palio MJD. Now currently I am at 43k kms, so it has been 4k kms that I have been on with it.  I am not much of a technical person ( though I am a mechanical engineer ) but still I will put in my basic thoughts for all to read.
  1. The gear change has decreased, so less usage of clutch.
  2. What all I was able to achieve in from gears 1 to 4, now the same can be achieved in a one higher gear. I mean instead of down shifting to 2nd the same can be managed in 3rd. Same is the case with all gears.
  3. Though I am not a racer, I am a very sedate driver, but that does not mean that I drive at punny speeds of 50-60. My route to work includes a 20km stretch of DEL-GURGAON expressway and on daily basis I fetch 140kmph on odo, the difference before and after Pete's is of 20kmph, earlier I use to cruise at 120kmph now I can do that at 140kmph.
  4. This may surprise a few, post Pete's my FE has gone up by a km. Pre Pete's I was consistently getting 20kmpl ( I face some of worst traffic jams daily, non expressway run ) and post Pete's I am getting 21kmpl and the reason for the same is that I haven't changed my driving style. The moment you try to become a racer post Pete's installation ur FE will get a hit.
  5. I have 40+k old YOKO A-Drives on my SDX and they provide me with excellent braking and road manners. NCR PUG meet attendees will be able to comment on my tyres.
  6. I am still with stock filters.
  7. Pete's box has 3 different stages that I can be set on, I am on 2nd stage, it takes Torque from 190Nm to 215Nm and BHP from 75 to 90.
I hope I have been able to review it to everybody's liking :-)
 
This Good review of the Petes but does you car gives blacker exhaust because of the box? And when you go for service can you remove them without any fuss?

No Doubt on Kamesh's Yoko A Drive are awesome, no can believe on they had run this much, it still looks as brand new and in immaculate condition.The box costed me 28k. Yeah the shift can be done at your, but for stage you have to the filters and in all probabilities you will have to switch to conical filter. Gains, welll the BHP goes just above 100 and torque goes up to 230Nm.
 
You will be surprised to know that post Pete's my car has minimized emitting black smoke. Pre Pete's, on sudden acceleration I used to get a lot of black smoke.  Not sure why?
 
Regarding removing the box, yes that's a 5 min job, but I don't both to remove it when I am going for service. The box is so small and well placed that until you are pointed towards the box no one would notice it ;)

Is it possible or worthy to fix petes' kit 1 into a palio stile petrol 1.1 litre engine?

Pete's tuning boxes are only available for Diesel engines. Just a small add on- Petes boxes are available only for common rail diesel engines....
