Dynolicious Fusion - Golf R + DTUK box

[remlapeel]

Ok, so I have been trying to get my car remapped for some time. Been to APR, REVO, Celtic, Evolution chips and the ECU codes are locked. So I have decided after waiting for 3 months to go for a tuning box.

After having some disappointed with tuning boxes on my GTI I wanted some way of showing the improvement without spending megabucks on a VBox. So after noticing DTUK posted results from one of their customers using dynolicious to record results, I did some research and it looks very accurate for the £10 cost.

I did multiple 0-60 runs in my R today using Launch control on the same road at the same point.

I have multiple screenshots but it's to time consuming to upload them all.

The average results at stock today are:

0-60 in 4.7 seconds
Est Wheel HP- 250.

These results have been repeated and the 0-60 is within a 10th of a second over 10 runs. The BHP has a 10% variance but still some good number to go by.

My DTUK box turns up tomorrow and I will repeat the tests

So basing on a 15% transmission loss I should be expecting results in the region of 315 WHP and 0-60 of around 3.8. We shall see. I will also spend some time with the different maps to see which performs best.

I'm in the same boat having a 2015 golf r, Revo have told me they will crack it , but after last years massive warranty Claim on my revoed gti I'll rather not take the risk, I hope you get the gains your looking for & I can't wait to get mine done.

I have been up and down about the DTUK box, lots of people seem happy, others seem very disappointed. I really wanted a Revo map, as the map they did for my GTI was outstanding, but I have waited 3 months and they don't seem any further forward.

Hopefully tomorrow shall shed some light on how good they are. I will get it on a proper dyno if it shows some promising numbers on the app

o I fitted the box yesterday after work, nice and simple fitting process.

I spent some time going through the maps to see which felt the most powerful, and I resorted to using map 1+3.
I didn't get time to do any runs yesterday, although I managed to get 1 run done on the way to work by using a handing lay by.

Road conditions were different, small incline on the road, but more importantly it is raining today. All the other tests have been done to perfect dry weather.



The car feels a lot quicker in 3rd and above.

I will get some runs in when the weather drys up to see what I can get on the same stretch of road I used in the first test.

I'm on my Mac.
I just tried looking at photo bucket photos on another forum and they won't load either so it's probably an issue my end.
All other images and photo hosting sites seem ok. Odd.
