Throttle response gti....oh my god moment

[Watts]

Thanks for the explanation, good and clear, even for a thickie

If the weather is okay tomorrow I'm going to get it fitted after lunch and test it out

Haha, you're no thickie Watts, and not the only one to have found the instructions confusing. Don't keep us in suspense once you've fitted and tried it, let us know what you think.

Pedalbox fitted, very quick and easy. Only been out for a quick test, not the best as too much slow traffic so early days yet. Set to Sport+ 2 (as has been recommended) and it's certainly eager, perhaps a bit too eager for busy routes. I can see it being great fun in more open roads but it felt a bit like the cold start was on all the time where practically no throttle input had the car pulling forward all the time when you didn't necessarily want it to. I may get used to that or a tweak or two may settle it, perhaps Sport. But it does show that the car has plenty of power as standard!

Happy with the purchase though, it does make the car feel very different in a positive way and I'm looking forward to getting to experiment further. Perhaps without the OH on board!

I turned mine down a notch from the setting you're using and I'm very happy with it. Not tinkered with it since

[Watts]

Thanks kalimon, that sounds about right. Does make a big difference though that's for sure

I started out Sport with on 0 green lights, them moved up to 1 green, but have settled on 2 greens.  The beauty is that it's so customisable, a setting to suit anyone.

Sport+ and two lights for me, try it for a few days as it is such a big change from stock. I can drive my car smoothly in any traffic without given the pedal box a thought now, but at first it did feel very eager to go and takes a little adjusting to.

Try it for a week then switch it off. You'll think there is something wrong with your car

The petrol cars seem to benefit from the PedalBox more than the Diesels in my experience.
The GTD does at least go when you brush the pedal initially (but then briefly feels a bit flat before the turbo kicks in with a vengeance) but the GTI in particular needs a moderate setting as its throttle mapping is almost too progressive and the power and torque curves are just so smooth. The R is a lot more revvy than even the GTI so needs a setting to take the initial deadness away but not too much assistance after that to keep the thing on a leash.
I found the GTI with a moderate setting went from feeling quite flat to a really responsive and torquey engine feeling much more powerful than the rated 230PS.

That's just what I'm hoping for when I get mine fitted this weekend weather permitting lol
