A lot of differing opinions on these boxes. Some as you say just boost fuel/turbo pressure, others offer 4-6 varying maps from economy, towing to just big HP. Same goes for re-maps good and bad out there !!!
Just be careful and ask a lot of questions from your supplier ! E-mails are very handy as you will have a copy of their reply and recommendations. We are going to chip my wife's Skoda diesel Octavia with a box from these guys.

if you have a common rail the dearer box is the go as it has a fuel rail sensor.
Re-maps show up on the 2012+ VW/Skoda electronic systems when plugged into the factory diagnostic machine. I believe LR are similar from around that time, only a big factor if warranty is still on the vehicle.
I checked a lot of VW/Skoda forums especially in the UK and they got a very favourable response. 2 versions available ! Check the UK LR forums for any boxes your considering, and ask yourself if you want the EGR's to work or not etc. One advantage of these type of boxes is that you change it to another car later and have it reprogrammed for that vehicle fairly cheaply.
