Mine is being collected for it's service which is making me very nervous. Last thing I wanted was to make the car unexpectedly livelier and cause an accident :sad:

Best stay safe if that’s the case.

Finally got around to fitting my pedal box+ to the new GTI (~1,000kms).  I knew what to expect, having run the 'box on a 2017 1.4 TSi, but nevertheless was delighted at how well it integrates with the GTI. 

One benefit I haven't seen raised before is that now the throttle and brake pedals have a much more consistent feel and application.  Pre-PB+ the brake pedal was sensitive, but the throttle pedal mushy.  Now the feel across both pedals is much the same, leading to a more responsive and connected feel to the car.

My 7.5 GTI now has the same instant, responsive, muscular feel to small throttle inputs as my beloved mk5 GTI.

Wouldn't want to be without mine now either! What settings are you using?

So far only green with 3 green lights! Will experiment further, but very happy indeed even on that mildest of settings. Experimented with the full range of settings on my 1.4, but found green suited me the most in city driving.

Recently had the pedal box fitted to my Mk7.5 230 GTI manual and I can whole-heartedly confirm the reports of others on here - it really does cure the one achilles heal of the car (the seriouasly mushy and unresponsive stock throttle pedal). 

I'm currently running in Sport with one red light (not green light - on the new pedal box I have the three red lights increase whilst the three green lights decrease the effect - is this the opposite to earlier boxes??)

Correct.  On my pedal box+ extra green lights decrease the effect.  For example, select green and each press of the "negative" button adds an extra green light up to a total of three.  Pressing the "positive" button adds red lights. I don't know about the original pedal box, though.

On the original, it’s the other way.  Greens increase effect, reds decrease.  My sweet spot with old box is Sport (amber) and 2 greens. 



How odd they should switch it round the other way with the pedal box plus.
