I don't doubt the torque figures for a second. I'm sure Andrew has a graph showing both hp and torque increase on the development thread.

As for buying one.... Don't be a tight arse, buy a new one! We already get a healthy discount and the support is second to none!

This probably belongs in the mpg thread, but as it's achieved with the DTUK box on, I thought I would comment here.

Took a trip down to Leeds today (105 miles each way), by far the furthest my GTD has been since new.

On the way down, 22C ambient temp in the morning, stopping at Stockton 1/3 of the way down and doing 80mph all the way down the A19 and A1, the car averaged 55mpg (indicated). The car was in Sport mode and the aircon was on all the way.

On the way back, it was 27C ambient until we were around Durham and it clouded over, dropping to 22C. The car was looking to be managing 57mpg doing 80mph all the way back until we hit about 6 miles of 50mph roadworks with average speed cameras and the mpg climbed steadily, end result for the return journey was 61.4mpg, doing 80-85mph (apart from the average speed camera zone and a few spurts to 90mph).

Bear in mind that the car is reading 9% optimistic with the box on vs 3% without, we're probably talking about equivalent indicated stock 52mpg/50mpg actual there and 58mpg stock indicated/55mpg actual back - with the aircon on! A smidge better than the best ever with my Scirocco (59mpg indicated/54mpg actual) on a 350 mile journey.

Finally got some time sitting in an airport to write a little review.

Okay, so first impressions are wow!

Delivery: Ordered Thursday afternoon, received Friday (via the post office)

Fitting: Fitted it on the Friday after work and took about 20 minutes to install. Quick tip is to let the engine cool down before trying to fit, but I didn't want to wait.

Instructions: They aren't the clearest so I took some photos and will do a post about fitting afterwards.

Testing: I installed it on 4 + 1 due to the recommendations on this forum, and think I'll leave it on it. The pull in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th is silly! 0-60 times seem to have improved and overtaking is a doddle. 1st and 2nd is hard to get the power down but other than that the overall increase in power and torque seems to be spot on.

Verdict: Buy one you'll love it!

ps. Wheelspin at 60mph in the wet is scary
