I've found in the past with modified engines that if you cruise along in a high gear just brushing the throttle you will see gains as there's more torque at any given RPM once the turbo is spooling.
BUT as soon as you hit the gas the whole point of the tuning is that you're throwing more air and fuel in (or just fuel in a Diesel as they run at full throttle air induction all the time) so it's going to drink more.

Anybody had one of these tuning boxes installed in a GTI and run on a dyno yet?

Ill keep everyone who is interested updated.....one of the connections is a right pain in the ass to fit....under the car with lower engine tray removed....right pain....but at least you get a "null plug" to connected to the loom which turns the car back to standard. I managed to get the cables fitted very neatly and hidden, so unless you go looking you wouldn't know it was there. There have been a few cases of people getting engine fault lights after fitting....apparently it is possible to get one of the plugs connected 180 degrees wrong....cannot say I had such problems and the car still starts so I guess everything is installed correctly.

It only had the back box as the down pipe had been removed for the purpose of dynoing the car :)
