It's a bog standard fuel dump. It modifies the signal from the ECU to the injectors. So if the ECU requests, say, 50mg/stroke of diesel, the tuning box will increase it to 60mg.
You'll get an apparent gain in fuel economy on the trip computer because the engine is injecting more fuel than it thinks it is. But a brim to brim measurement should reveal no change. Increasing fuelling without modifying the turbo map will increase EGTs and might cause smoking. The increase in power and torque is genuine-but it isn't free!
Overdrive Technology (TM!) is a nonsense. Overdrive refers to gearing, nothing to do with the engine!
It's your call though.
