People are always sceptical about these until they actually try them for themselves and 9/10 don't want to remove them..  They are the hardest thing in the world to sell, but I agree with exon ian I wouldn't be without one on anything I drive

I am not surprised they are hard to sell if no one can explain what it actually does.

Come on Dan its not rocket science, if you push the pedal a quarter  of the way down and kept it there it may sit on 2000rmp, with the pedal box it would amplified to 4000rmp. So a quarter push would give a much more assertive acceleration. Simples...

I am aware its simple which is why its a waste of cash if you have a mapped car already, all it does is change the throttle mapping which is what i said earlier. This mapping can be changed via superchips, revo or other maps too. Of course the other thing you could do is push the throttle down further with your foot...

Do you mean rpm by the way?

^^^^^ ha ha Yeah RPM, I was tired last night.

But to be fair I have REVO, and I still think this could help as you still have to put foot fully down to tell the engine / ECU to give it 100% power, if that was reduced to 60-70% foot to floor it would make it feel faster.

Im still open minded about them, would love to try it.

Call revo and just get them to tweek your map so you have 100% throttle at 70% pedal travel. But, I would say dont bother, you have much better control with the longer pedal travel rather than with an on/off switch  :grin:

Well I've taken the plunge and ordered one today for my DSG. I'll report back when I've played with it.

Well the pedal box arrived Saturday after ordering Friday. Fitted it and was presented with EPC, EML and take to garage warning. The manual does tell you this may happen and that changing the setting and restarting should clear it. But for me no amount of plugging and un plugging and changing settings worked. So I resorted to using VCDS to clear everything. Now all running fine in the city program. It makes the car feel like you have a sport button. Throttle just seems sharper and more sensitive. Like it so far. Going to play with the settings. Sport + is for ambitious driving  :huh: may try that setting next.

So a couple of months down the line, how did you feel the product worked out. Good, bad or just average?

Couple of months?  :smiley:

I now have it on my mk7 GTI DSG (sold the MK6 a few weeks ago). I love the pedal box. Works really well. Would definitely recommend it!
