DTUK CRD-T BOX -- GTD 240BHP??

[stuart.cameron]

And also mpg seems to have improved, not sure if the computers reading true just now tho.

A trip to Edinburgh airport today gained 57mpg the best prior to the box going on was 50ish.

Stuart: box will be around 9% optimistic if you have it on 4+1, about 3% optimistic unboxed. 57=53ish in reality. Still good going for a car with 243ps under the bonnet.

What will the revised 0-60 times be with the CRD-T fitted?

O-62 times won't be massively improved because you will not get all your power down in 1st and 2nd without wheelspin and tramping. You only need to look at A3 times with and without Quattro to see what difference a bit of extra grip gets , there's about 0.7s in it. The real gains are to be found in 3rd to 6th - 3rd and 4th to be really rapid, or the extra torque will see you maybe accelerate 70-80 or 80-90 without feeling the need to drop a gear or 2.

You won't notice much in your 0-62 times with the box on, unless you got very good front tyres with your GTD (it's all about the traction of the GTD when pulling away) - you will notice a big difference with acceleration above 30mph though.

Hi, just bought the new version of the box recently (the one in Andrews pic few posts above) and was wondering which is the best map to use?

I know alot of people say 4+1 on the old box was recommended but this one has only 3 maps.

Ive tried 3+1 and 3+2 so far (havent had a great deal of time to play with the different settings due to work) but im not feeling a major difference power wise compared to stock. Mpg on the other hand, i drove 50 miles cruising in sport at 70mph and MFD stated 67.9 mpg

The way the box works it will fool the car into reporting more MPG. Fill the car with fuel and measure your MPG that way.

I've found 3+1 is the best setting for me. If you're not noticing any major difference power wise compared to stock then either you aren't driving the car right or your box is faulty.

There is a slight increase in power in 1st and slightly more in 2nd gear but it comes alive in 3rd. It flies in that gear.
