DTUK box on a Mk7 GTI GTD results

[GrahamFR]

Milltec is the performance pack and vw always kicks out more than the figures, was probably over 250bhp before the exhaust. The most a cat back would add would be around 20bhp certainly not 60bhp come on lol

Don't know what your saying here John. I'm told the full milltek tbe adds 20bhp and after looking the the restrictiveness of the standard system at BCS I'm not surprised. Here's the plot http://m.millteksport.com/media.file.cfm?fileid=1257

Thus if it can make 285 with a tuning box and a back box (that won't do feck all the bhp with the standard system in place further up) then I'm hoping a further 15/20 can still be added with the tbe in place

Sorry thought it was just the exhaust lol. I am hitting 290bhp without any mod exhaust. I am getting a custom exhaust fitted next week so it should take me over the 300

What cel you going for on the cat?

Don't know yet mate, taking it down to him next week and see what he recommends

So just to clarify for a complete numpty.... I buy one of these little boxes and i am looking at 255+ bhp with the equivalent increase in torque (i dont plan to change the exhaust - certainly not for a while anyway), i can remove so i don't void the warranty come service time/any faults arise? I assume a complete novice like me can fit it as well? I'm not after messing with the settings, just want it to come set up ready to go!

I know its a point others may hate me to bring up but when driven normally can i expect a slight increase in mpg as well? I have had a few cars remapped in the past and the mpg as gone 5-10%.

I'm not sure if their car is the 220 or 230 in standard form to be honest.

The down pipe wasn't installed at the time of testing, simply the back box

Music to my ears, we'll crank 300 out of this IHI yet

We have the kits in stock just waiting for them to be signed off hopefully at Autosport this next month

Car will be getting the BCS Powervalve system by the 11th so this is next on my list.

Well be releasing some before and after graphs from sharks dyno at some point as that's the only try indication of what the kit is achieving .. I know a similar set up on a dsg equipped Audi s3 saw gains of 46bhp and 60nm

Yes mate pretty much. But you will only see an mpg increase if you drive at exactly the same speed and acceleration as you did without a box, thus ruining the point of having it

Doesn't really ruin the point if during your normal commute it saves a bit of fuel and then when you want it it adds a chunk of power, surely?

EDIT - Moved my comment from inside the quote.

Cheers, i was just worried about the fitting more than anything!

Yeah i see your point in a way that with a quicker car i will drive it harder... i like to think i wont but probably will!! What i was trying to get at if i drive my car exactly the same as i do now with the odd blast here and there will i see an improvement in mpg as i did on my previous remapped cars

[monkeyhanger]

You'll see an increase in indicated mpg, actual gains will be negligible or nil.
