There's a small circuit board plugged into the top of the accelerator pedal which sends messages to the ECU regarding throttle position.
This is what the pedal box modifies (amplifies) the signal of, on a sliding scale depending on how sensitive you set it.
The factory settings should be renamed
Really really crap
Crap crap
Not quite as crap

As compared to the pedal box settings which range from
Oh, there really is 280 lb ft of torque after all
To OMFG!

Anyone moved a pedal box from a MK7 GTI non PP to a 7.5 PP?

When I phoned DTUK they said it should just work but when I was chatting to them on their web chat when looking to maybe upgrade to the new + version they said I would need a free software update.

Guess I will just give it a go and see what its like before sending it back for an update.

Only one way to find out!

I’m sure it’ll be fine, pretty sure it’s the same throttle pedal software and parts used across the range. Plenty of adjustments can be made on the pedalbox to compensate for any possible (but unlikely) nuances of the later car’s factory settings.
