Throttle response gti....oh my god moment

[kalimon]

Hi buddfridge - just wondered how you are now getting on with your pedalbox, any negatives or smiles all the way?

Also dave7268 - how are you getting on with the tuning box?

Cheers!

Hardly any negatives really the only one I have found is its not as smooth changing from the lower gears but I think that's my foot not letting the clutch pedal fully up before I try and slip it into gear. I slipped it back normal yesterday and really didn't like that experience, it feels to timid for my liking.

One thing that has been a surprise is that my mpg figures have not really changed, I had a run out over the moors 60 mile trip and averaged just over 40mpg in sport mode with the box at my favourite setting of sport+ and two lights, that +40 mpg is the best return yet out of the car but I have only done 1800 miles.

I would definitely recommend this pedal box to anybody running a gti, I am having so much fun that I really haven't even tried all the variations available ie trying the pedal box as it is but the car on normal or eco...it's just to hard to slip out of fun mode.

Thanks for the update, glad you're enjoying it!

I'm planning on asking my missus for a pedal box come birthday time in September.
Really fancy one now, but she struggles getting me something I actually want every year, so this will kill two birds with one stone.
I know what you're thinking.....'what a thoughtful husband Kalimon is, I really need to be more like him' 

Good idea! Unfortunately my birthday is not until March Having said that, it'll be my half century so perhaps I deserve something in advance?

I'd be expectimg more than a pedal box for my 50th
I'll be 53 so I may well end up with new socks

I've had the pedal box installed now for about 2 weeks and (as suggested on here) I've settled on Sport + with two green lights.  I love it!  It makes the car feel so much more responsive, and I can't detect any downside at all.  Why VW couldn't make it like this out of the factory is a mystery.  Mine is a manual PP GTI by the way.

So would I, lol. My half century comes up next Jan.  Got the pedal box so that's off the cards, shame.   So failing pedal box, a new DSLR (next incarnation of the Canon EOS 5D MkIII (MkVI or 5DX) is looking a likely contender birthday present.

Enjoy your new socks.

Yes Rebecca, you need a new camera ......judging by the poor quality images of the black beauty you keep posting

Enjoy your new socks.

I just had one for my Birthday, Kalimon. Same situation - hard to buy for!

Going to fit it this afternoon and will be back with a GTD report.

What's the update Dan?

I didn't fit it yet sorry Stevie. It was pouring with rain and I've then either been working or catching Pokemon. 

Will attempt to fit either today or tomorrow!

Now you have your pedal box, switch it off for an hour back to standard......it's awful!  Can't switch it back on quick enough!
