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...  :laugh:

no, thats the original map we developed back in November,

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?

Yeah, ours is a manual :) a proper car  :laugh:

Although I'm a petrol driver (though looking at those TDI graphs I'm wondering why I bothered!) I'll back up Andrew and say the PedalBox really is the icing on the cake and even if you're not going to up the power on the engine it's still a 'must have' addition.

Do you think it would be advisable to try the pedal box first then? As im not really keen on shelling out for both in one go

We wouldn't sell you both together anyway :) the first stage is the box then if you decide to purchase the pedal box well offer you additional discount on the pedal box :)

Andrew I see on the graph it has maximum power wheels / maximum power engine.
Where do VW measure the power from?

VW measure engine output when they quote 184PS/181HP/135KW, most VAG cars are a good 5 to 10% above when run in, it's like a worst case scenario figure.

So tempted but for the fact I would feel obliged to swap out my sh!tty Bridgestones or be extremely careful. The other box I trialled was amazing before I returned it for tweaks and they cut the power right out to address traction issues. This system seems to have had a lot more thought go into the mapping.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
