Has anybody done any actual performance comparison figures yet, either 0-60 or mid range?

I know it's not the be all and end all, but I'm just intrigued to know what sort of acceleration you end up with compared to other cars?

Guess I'm getting excited as my GTD is due for delivery in a couple of weeks now - feels like it's been one helluva wait!

Nope, but I know it'll outdo a Civic R type easily, and will just about outdo an old Focus ST (225PS?), a 2.0TFSI TT MK2 and a 245ps 3.0TDI A6 in the 50-90 range. Off the line you'll struggle to put all that torque down without 4wd, but once you're in 3rd you're fine.

I reckon there'll be negligible difference in 0-60 time with the tuning box on as you're already traction limited without the box in first and second gear...

If you want something fast 0-60 don't buy a a front wheel drive diesel. You'll not win many races at Santa Pod...

In general road driving I reckon the performance difference will be very apparent... mid range, 50-70, 70-90 etc. on though...

Ita 6.5 0-60. I was on an ever so slight downhill when trying today and achieved 6.1. Carmaddad has a video with and witjout box. He manages 6.7 I beleieve. The difference is great from 3rd onward but there is a difference in second!!!!! You just cant nail it in first as the wheela just light up

Where in Wales are you??

Lots of Corsa VXR's around South Wales; they're fun to wind up 

Down south in Newport. I see a fair few vxr's here and there. I'll wind up the next one I come across and see what happens 

You definitely notice the box more when you take it off. You quickly get used to the extra power when you stick it on. Let us all know your results with the "signpost" test or similar.

Ok I feel like a bit of a k**b now... Put the car back to normal on saturday and I definitely noticed the decrease in power. Low down its similar (though still noticeable compared to box) but high end there is a big difference. Anyone know of a dyno near this area? (south wales) Im curious to know what this car is pushing in stock compared to dtuk box fitted.

Im also trying to fiddle around to see which map gives best mpg, i tried a 200 mile journey going at 70mph with map 3 minus 3 and i got 49mpg (mfd stated 64mpg) which is basically the same as i what got on a 120 mile journey using 3 + 2. Any one else played around with the maps to get good mpg?

Give me a shout if you want to try a proper remap

Give me a shout if you want to try a proper remap 

That no doubt causes issues with TD1 too

And before you say anything , that's come from a highly respected Belgium remapper we supply that shared the info about the latest CMD updates

Remapping / fitting a tuning box has risks no matter which way you look at it.  What happens if an engine goes bang?? Upon inspection they will find what caused it and realise that the engine was running above factory levels even if you remove the map and or box

I know plenty of people who have mapped their cars from day one and have NEVER had a single issue with claiming on warranty 

You'll run into problems if you hide the fact they you have modified your vehicle from day one.
