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

[KyleB]

So will it be more powerful?

Why doesn't someone just ask Andrew? simply really

[KyleB]

Didn't you?

More power and torque isn't really what's needed as you're probably approaching the limits for clutch etc. The official German systems don't go anywhere near the figures from dtuk.

The GTD's drivetrain seems to be more overengineered than that of the GTI and R. Plenty of R owners pushing out 360PS and GTI owners getting into stock R territory with a box or remap that have slipped their clutch, haven't heard of a GTD owner doing the same with mods to get them to around 240PS/500Nm.

It would be interesting to know if the 2.0TDI BiTurbo lump in the Passat has the same clutch and flywheel as the single turbo variants.

The new box is on there website it just states that it measures rpm so also plugs into the cam sensor.  Can't see it giving more BHP but it may well improve response & give a smoother delivery.   Really depends on cost as to trying it or not.

No more power from the box, just a smoother delivery of the power.

[Optimus prime]

Ok so worth chucking £50 at it but no more

I'd think at 240 bhp the box would be running as much power as the engine could take before it started over fuelling and smoking like buggery whilst getting all juddery. In fact I'm surprised it puts out that much considering all the emissions crap attached to it.

How does the GTI compare to the boxed GTD Stevie?

Does all the emissions crap measure NOx, or does it assume that that the signals sent from the engine to the common rail/boost (and possibly the cam sensor if you go 3 channels) give compliant emissions when taking into account engine temp? I suspect not. My DPF regens halved with the DTUK box on my GTD, so i'm assuming that combustion temp went up a bit, taking care of more soot, at the detriment of higher NOx output.
