When people buy these boxes are they considering either the JB1 or this box?
They both seem to be the same price. is the JB1 a better investment for the first mod?
The pedalbox is unrelated to the tuning box and personally I'd get the pedal box first. In fact I did.
The pedalbox can be fitted whilst the car is running in then add the tuning box later.
I've had both a DTUK and JB1.
The only downside of the DTUK is that it needs to be wired direct to the battery. If you're an arse like me and go off leaving the box in the engine bay for a few days you could well come back to a flat battery. Anyone sensible would unplug the box from the loom and fit the blanking plate.
There are quite a few differences between JB1 and DTUK, the chief upside of the JB1 is that it plugs into the fuel rail as well as boost and is technically more adjustable. However the DTUK works well enough, delivers the goods and is a lot more easily adjustable.
The DTUK also feels more robust.
