EA288 2.0 TDI 184PS Development thread..

[Andrew@DTUK]

So, I fitted the CRDT-2, which took 5 mins. Tried setting 1 through 4, and once I got up to 4 the difference the performance is huge - especially in the higher gears 4-6. Very impressive peice of kit - certainly put a smile on my face. Havent tried it on a longer run yet, so cant comment on adverse fuel economy effect yet, but will report on that when i have.

My advice it to try all of the maps on zero setting, then move unto plus 1 on the particular map youre using..

Im currently running map 4 on plus 2 and its a hoot

Just received this feedback from a mk7 gtd owner...


Hi Andrew

Some feedback on the stage 2 unit that I installed just before Christmas with originally 2k on the clock. Set it to map4 plus1 as per your recommendation and it's transformed a great engine to a fantastic one. I have done an additional 1.5k miles since install and it's blown a load of friends minds away on its smooth power delivery and effortless overtaking ability.

In sport mode when you want to exploit the performance it puts a huge smile on your face, however when you are after fuel savings in Eco mode on motorway journeys I've seen the other side of 60mpg which again puts a smile on your face.

This is the third DTUK unit I have purchased and its the best yet. I know you constantly working on improving the software but not sure you will be able to do it with this one, but I will be keeping and eye on the website.

Happy for you to use this as a testimonial, but change my name if you want to use it.

For any interested parties, we have the vRS booked into Motoscope in Northallerton this thursday. Well be running map 4 plus 1 on the dyno which produced 226bhp on Sharks Dyno which will give us some more pub talk

We will also be running a new file I've just written this afternoon that Ive just added to our vRS, initial thoughts are that at least on the road the mid range pull is a lot stronger and the traction control light needs a holiday


As soon as receive the info back from the dyno ill update this thread

[Andrew@DTUK]

updated dyno results using our CRD-T





232.9bhp and 368.6lbft/501nm - map 4 plus 1

That's looking impressive - is this the new file you mentioned earlier?

Only 800 on the clock at the moment so trying to resist urge to buy...

Also extremely tempted. 2,500 miles on the clock now and if im being honest...starting to feel like it needs more pace! Id love to see the pull this thing has in 3rd and 4th

Andrew, bit of a noob with all this technology. But how much of a difference is there to this and the pedal box? As with the discount code its still 200.00 of a difference. Just wondering if spending the extra cash is needed. Cheers

The CRD-T gives the power, the Pedal box only sharpens throttle response..

So of you want 235ps and 500nm, the only option is the CRD-T If you then want an even quicker car, then at a later date add the pedal box..

Thats the combo I'm running and its frikking awesome

is your car manual,or DSG?

Great, cheers for the info Yours must pull pretty well with both.. Really tempted as the accelwratio has gone rather flat with me. Think a purchase will be made in a week. Its the manual i have, is that what you have?
