but i sold mine as it made my car lumpy and was a little heavy on fuel, but im sure if you crank it back it would have been reasonable. But it just isnt as smooth as a proper remap.

i use a psi tuning box on my 110 tdi same engine as yours mate and don't have any trouble at all better power no smoke better fuel economy and its been on over a year now but they are over £250 new and i work for vw dealer and it don't bring up fault codes because I've checked
There are some tuning boxes which do a reasonable job, but as has been pointed out they can be expensive. I've seen some priced at over £500, which really is ridiculous. That's the cost of 2 remaps!
As a cheap boost do a google serch for "Evry mod" and spend a couple of quid making your own tuning box. It'll be as good as the cheap tuning boxes off ebay etc. and you'll learn a bit about your car in the process. But I'd be spending a couple of hundred quid and getting a half decent remap if I was you.

Or do the "evry mod" and save the money for the damage your car will likely incur from a cheap resistor jammed into your electrics.
T/B's are ok, but remaps are better. I've had both on a previous car and they are 2 different animals.
Get a remap for the same money as a new TB and have peice of mind that you bought the best you could afford and can go back to a company for support if you have problems.

If that is not clear enough tuning boxes make your computer very inaccurate too so dont waste your time with them, you get a really lumpy idle to boot.
