DTUK Pedal Box

[Watts]

Just finally ordered mine. Should be here tomorrow according to the very helpful online chat function.

Fingers crossed it is everything I expect it to be, i.e. a much sportier responsive feel overall.

What settings do most have theirs set to for mainly city driving?

I have the car on normal with the box on sport with 1 green light. Pretty lively But on dry days for a bit more fun I put the car in sport too. Sport+ on the box was just a bit too much.

Thanks Watts. Looking forward to see what a difference it makes. I don't want to put a tuning box on it just yet as I still have a years warranty left so hoping this just wakes the car up a little bit and sorts the lag issue out then maybe next year I'll add the tuning box.

I'd be very surprised if you were disappointed. It wakes it up a lot!

P.S. The discount code I had from a previous thread is no longer valid (GTD80) but I was given another one - AP80 which knocks £10 off the retail price of the Pedal Box Plus down to £189 with free Royal Mail Special next day delivery. Not much but it all helps just in case anyone else is thinking about getting one

RF80 worth a try but doesn't work if they are on offer.

Fitted and tested mine out.

Sweet relief that the first couple of inches of travel before the car responds has gone! Certainly makes the car comes alive as Booth put it. So far, well pleased with the addition. Isn't this how it should have been?

Is this the same product as the Remus responder?

Yes

Thanks Exonian.

All these positive reviews have really got me interested, seriously considering trying one of these devices now.

Is anyone with DTUK pedal box on their Mk7/7.5 GTI able to compare the subsequent throttle response to a std mk5 GTI? 

One of the things I loved about my mk5 GTI was the instant and muscular response at the twitch of the ankle.  I find the mk7's throttle response doughy and disappointing in comparison.

I could probably answer that - coming from a mk5 I was struggling to get used to the feel of the accelerator on the mk7. The pedal box fixes it. Even on the lowest level of intervention, response is much sharper and back where it should be. On Sport I recon the car is more responsive than the mk5. On sport+..... I'll leave you to have a play!
