DTUK CRD-T BOX -- GTD 240BHP??

Has anybody had any dealings with these, as I like the idea of a remap that you can remove, and the figures are pretty awesome

golf gtd = 240bhp @ 500nm that's 3.0tdi power :D

If any of you kind people (Vag lovers) would share your experiences that would be great.

You only need to read through the EA288 development thread to know how much I value my DTUK box. I was a true sceptic after trying out a TDI-tuning box and not liking the results, but now I have a 240Hp GTD which really improves over standard, reduces my DPF regens and has no discernible mpg penalty in use.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Thanks for all your input guys, I have to say im sold :D me being rather blind and not seing the ea288 thread, I have now ;)

is the engine still responsive in sport mode, or does it suffer from major turbo lag?

I'd say the stock is slightly more laggy than with the DTUK box on, from a driveability point of view there are no downsides. The accelerator responds so well, imagine the response of stock in the first 2/3 of throttle pedal travel, and then having loads beyond it, all linearly delivered.

Leave it on 4+1. I gave 3+1 a try when Andrew's dyno sessions showed a marginal peak power increase, but the car felt a little lumpy getting there, rather than the silky smooth linear increase in power that 4+1 provides. Mine will be coming off tomorrow for Benfield's remedial work on some chipped paint they caused. The car is going to feel flat as a fart without it. I should be without my GTD for a few days, will probably be given a 1.0 UP!  :angry:
