DTUK Pedalbox

[Talk-torque]

Reading through this thread, the effect of the pedal box seems to be that it takes flooring the throttle more literally than the standard setup, with less or no regard for economy, or optimum acceleration assumed. Has anyone noticed economy suffering?

It gives the throttle a hair trigger. Lazy buggers these DSG drivers, too much effort to use a stick, too much effort to press a throttle pedal more than half way....

Tbh i never check fuel economy, other threads do say that it does suffer. Really cant knock the box the car picks up from the start. I suppose it makes the car even more exciting to drive. I did switch the box off and the car is quite lethargic.

My fuel economy is so bad anyway what's another few mpg down the drain.  Feels very sluggish if you turn the box off for a bit.  Box livens up things nicely.

We conserve all our energy for extreme paddle action.

Interesting you got a reply Simon where my post was conveniently ignored

100% agree with mcmaddy, be sure your going to keep it - as posted above my weeks trial cost me £36.95 plus return costs, some obviously notice a benefit but not me. As pedal boxes and tuning boxes are available from DTE Systems distributors i'll go to them in the future

Hi I see from your sig you have some 19" Neuspeed RSE10 wheels, can I be nosey and ask where you got them from and an approx cost including tyres? Are there any deals available on them anywhere do you know?

Cheers!
