TDI-tuning.co.uk have one now for the 184PS unit in the GTD (plug in box), it's £289 and increases power to 239PS and torque to 495Nm. Considering it for my new GTD (due early Sept). My dad ran one of their boxes on his MK5 GT 170TDI PD for 3 years/40k miles with not a spot of bother and a 10% increase in mpg (power up to 200PS with it on).

How easy are these boxes to fit? Also I'm led to believe a remap would be better for the engine longer term?

Takes less than 5 minutes to fit. As long as you avoid the cheap sh!te than a high quality box will be just fine. It will never give the full experience of a remap but they are very good for what they are  :smiley:

Thanks, in what way would it differ from a remap? Obviously the gains seem to be as impressive as a remap, if not better. Is it just power delivery and that?
