DTUK Pedal Box
« on: 30 August 2017, 11:08 »
Hi all. My father bought me a DTUK pedal box for my car last week and such a difference it has made. I already have the tuning box, (map 2 +3) which I find very impressive in both power delivery and smoothness, but the pedal box has helped with response no end. It was very easy to fit, and I currently have it on sport 1, which I find to be just right. I had tried it on sport +, and whilst the response is even sharper, I find it perhaps a little too much for daily driving.
My last car was an astra j vxr, and whilst I find the golf better in all regards, the vxr button on the astra did sharpen it up more than sport more on the golf. With the addition of the pedal box this is no longer the case, and I find the car more pleasant to drive normally and more fun to drive quickly. I definitely recommend one.

Pleased with mine too and I have it on the same setting as you - sport+ was just too lively. What setting do you have the car on? In likely traction issues I have it on normal and otherwise in individual with all on sport except for steering, just tweeks the response nicely :smiley:

I usually drive in normal mode, but change to sport on fun roads. I used to have it in eco for regular driving, but found that it choked the car too much and made no difference to fuel economy.

Eco is nonsense, I've tried it once on a long motorway run and as you've found, economy the same and it wouldn't pick up properly for overtaking.

If I had to pick between either my pedal box or tuning box I'd pick the pedal box every time.

Odd, in driving the boss's Mk7 GTI today found throttle response excellent, way better than my R.
Wonder if its a mileage thing but can't be as it's all programmed, it's a 2014 car.
Maybe later cars have been made softer.  Whatever my R needs one, although will have to drive in slippers :grin:

I've got round to buying a pedalbox after months of thinking about it and fitted it today.  Really easy install, 10 min job.  Couple of drives later, the only regret is taking so long to buy it!  I've owned my PP for 11 months and loved it, but there have been too many times where you push the throttle and think 'where's the power?'.

Left it on city +2 for now as I do a lot of short run commutes and that feels a good fit.  Popped it into sport once and oompf, there's the power on tap.

If you're thinking about it, do it.

Now if I could just sort out the rattles  :rolleyes:
