DTUK Pedalbox

[sadsac]

In case anyone else is wondering about the "PerfecTune" feature on the PB+, I tried it and to be honest can't notice any difference.  No better or worse than just plug and play out of the box.

Thanks, I wondered about trying that feature but seemed a bit unnecessary to have to redline the engine whilst sitting still just to calibrate the pedalbox+?!

Sounds like a must have item when my R arrives

Unless I misinterpreted the instructions the accelerator pedal is floored with the engine off, but ignition on.  Will have to fish out the instructions to confirm.

Edit: Yep, correct.  To quote the user guide: "Turn on the ignition.  The engine does not have to be running....."

Has anyone got experience of the DTUK pedal box alongside a DTUK tuning box?

I got my 2016 GTI PP last week and fitted the DTUK tuning box I'd had on my previous car (DTUK flashed the box with the new software obviously) which should take the car to over 300BHP, but obviously having joined this forum and seeing everybody raving about the pedal box it has got me interested in that as well.

Plenty run both on here... with grins all over

Ah ok thanks maybe I'll try it at some point then!

I use eco mode more now as I can have good throttle response but still have the eco but I like which is the engine going in to neutral and idling when you take you foot off the accelerator

I ordered one of these yesterday afternoon from DTUK and it arrived this morning via Royal Mail Special Delivery.

It took me about half an hour to fit using Booth11's excellent instructions here...........

I had no problems unplugging or reconnecting any of the plugs/sockets as mentioned in this and other forums and the device is now sat in the small glove box by the driver's right knee. It definitely makes everything easier if you remove the small panel to the left of the OBD-11 socket - it requires a T15 torx bit. A small torch and a soft mat to lie on definitely facilitate the procedure.

I have had a short drive round the block and the accelerator pedal definitely seems more responsive. A more comprehensive road-test will follow tomorrow when I have more time.

It's even easier if you just remove that little cubby box and put your hand in through there to connect the plug. Two minutes and it's fitted.
