so do you in turn think it would make it quicker to 60mhp?
A 0-60 is more about mashing the pedal to the floor once the initial traction level has been sorted, so maybe the box might make a few hundredths of a second difference on a drag race?
It's in five and take driving you will notice the difference. In real world driving the box makes the car more eager and responsive.
Put it this way, on my GTI aside from the horrible noise it made I could tell no difference between normal and sport in the theottle menu modes but once the box was attached I could.
It won't turn a GTI into an R but it just makes it feel more like a GTI should.
If you have a remap they can adjust the throttle curve and response. What would this do that your map can't?
This is purely the pedal electronics which the remappers don't touch as it's a separate circuit. When I had my mk6 REVO'd I asked them if they could sharpen the throttle response and they said no, they'd done all they could.
Anybody who has driven a mk7 Polo GTI 1.8T will know how one of these boxes works as VW played about with the pedal electronics on these models and made it so much more fun to drive than other 1.8T's.
Google or YouTube the VW ad's for those cars and you'll see what I mean as they were a send up of the cars responses.
