I’d avoid any kind of chipping or boost boxes.
I’ve had an Alive tune on mine for years with no problems at all and always run millers diesel additive permanently too.
BAS is also highly praised, both are market leaders and most reliable.

Had the BAS 150 tune earlier this year - great improvement in drivability and pick-up. 100% recommendation. Rgds.

I would run it for a bit first just to make sure all is well and happy before putting everything under a greater load. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy
