Anyone have any specific knowledge or experience of the East Coast racing power box on a Laguna 1.9Dci 120?

I havent read about one on a Laguna, but as you know the other people on here with power boxes are 100% happy.

Why not ring them and ask if you can return it if not happy?

I have no knowledge on the company or the product, but I'm afraid I have to say the link you posted reads like "B.S." to me.

Couple of examples:

"Storage Module Device (SMD) technology" - SMD (in the context they mean) doesn't stand for that.

"uses the modern Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processing architecture" - well that obviously means it works then! Or could that be an irrelevant technospeak?

In my experience, people who quote irrelevant or wrong acronyms are usually B.S.ing you.

However, to be fair, perhaps the product is great and they got someone irritating to do the marketing.

Just my 2p and as I say, I know nothing about the product.

Taking it back wont be an option as it will be second hand. Will stil have a warranty tho.

Yes SMD is a nothing acronym, usually means surface mount device, but RISC could be valid if they are using a standard off the shelf risc CPU.

Its connected into the injectors, where it intercepts the injector pulses and substitutes its own (longer) ones

Isn't No Dosh's fragrant italian tractor using one of these?

He seemed quite happy with the end result, however I would prefer an ECU remap - When you consider the ECU looks at air temp, air pressure, air flow, throttle setting and several other inputs and then determines the optimum injection timing and duration.
Simply extending the injector pulse seems a little basic, whilst it certainly works it might work better if the timing was earlier which doesn't appear to be an option.

"uses the modern Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processing architecture"

Thats valid - modern microcontrollers use the RISC architecture, technobabble and irrelevant to the average bloke, but its correct terminology.
