Buddy, are you driving a manual or DSG? Still waiting for my DSG to arrive but think I may get it tuned at some point. Just not sure how it will work with DSG and the torque.

Mine's a manual Neil

You'll have to let us know about the economy implications driving it "normally" when you've finished blasting the car around. Any chance of getting a GTI test drive and seeing if the GTD+ outdoes a stock GTI?

My dad was very pleased with his tdi-tuning.co.uk box on the MK5 170TDI for well over 30k miles of use. 200 PS and 10% better fuel economy.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Sounds good. I was looking at this one:

http://www.bluesparkautomotive.com/carspecs2?carid=6578

Will be interesting to see what mpg you average with it. Im sure most of you are aware but don't forget that when one of these is installed the cars indicated mpg will be way off due to the fuel pressure signal modifications - the car thinks the fuel pressure is lower than it actually is so calculates less fuel being used i.e the indicated mpg will be higher than actual. Tank to tank and a calculator will be the only way of knowing.

When my car finally shows up i'll try to do some comparisons.
I'm willing to take a bit of an economy hit for 50hp.

That looks interesting, I've not heard of Bluespark before.  It appears that "Bluespark Pro with Boost Control" unit can also modify the boost just like the one from DTUK.

Yep as expected, the in gear acceleration feels far better. The GTD as standard is a lovely cruiser. Ample power, when needed, to be able to overtake easily or accelerate briskly out of a queueing slip road into faster traffic. With the box of tricks fitted, that experience can be slightly more frenetic if you want it to!  :evil:

I know it's a cliche but you put your foot down and when you look down you see your speedo dial way further round than you were expecting! Yet again a testament to the car and how easily it handles the power but the feeling of accelerating from 60 to a 'significantly higher' number, is just effortless and seems almost instantaneous.

Will do mate. Would love to do a gti test drive actually. I think my local dealer has/had one so will try and do that soon.
