Thanks a heap, mate.  Exactly what I was hoping to hear. Cheers.

Just back from 700 mile round trip to Cornwall, fitted the pedal box day before I left so took it easy and  had it in City for most M5 /A30 and normal DCC, still way better than standard response. As week went on played a bit with Orange didn't have the book with me so ended up using Red which apparently is Sport + and loved it, recommend lightweight shoes like boat shoes though. Not Hunter's!!
Had it in Eco and Sport + today but didn't save a cupful of petrol on short journey, so probably Normal and sport+ plus for the time being but I do look fwd to playing with the + and - sometime.
Booth and others so right, transforms an already s*** hot motor

You could've dropped me off a pasty on the way back home...

Now I thought I knew the best pasties

Now I thought I knew where to get the best pasties but have just found the best in the whole world ever, Mary's pasties  picked some up on way home where they make them Probus nr Truro. Stopped at services after horrendous drive back A30 / M5 last friday, thankfully missed the horror RTA on Saturday.
The M5 has become as bad as the M6/M1/M25 at anytime. I only go down when kids are back at school and seems to make no difference

The M5 is getting dreadful.
It just reflects the amount of traffic on it nowadays and people's bad driving. Or lack of driving in most cases as there seems to be an ever increasing amount of people hurtling along looking more down at the phone they think they've sneakily hidden in their lap than what's actually going on around them.

I've not tried Mary's as I tend to skirt Truro (too much traffic) and buy my pasties in Hayle.

the discount code GTD80 reduces the cost of the pedalbox+ down to £189 inc vat and UK delivery, or if you're local to us you're looking at £199.00 inc fitting.



just found this on the R forum...


As a few of you will know I now have a pedal box plus fitted to my R.
Having had 3 of the standard type pedal box I was never blown away with it.
I found it to be really good when going for it but had issues where it was either on or off on light throttle.
Other issues I had were on light throttle I could feel a hesitation at certain speeds.
Having had 3 of them I could rule out a faulty unit and could work around this problem by running a pretty tame setting of Sport -2 or -3
This still eliminated the dead spot but made me wonder why I had it if using on a very low setting.
I sold my unit only last week and then while browsing the net found dtuk had released a pedalbox + unit.
After talking to Chris I asked the difference and his reply was that the new unit is smoother in operation and obviously looked much nicer.
I ordered it and it came the next day
Having now done 40 miles with the new one fitted I can confirm that fitting is exactly the same and if the additional holder isn't used it still fits in the cubbyhole perfectly

As you can see in the pic I'm already running sport -1.
With the new one I'm switching between sport and sport -1 pickup and operation is smoother without any sign of hesitations and no problem on light throttle in traffic etc.
 
As Chris said he didn't think it'd warrant anyone who already has one to upgrade due to cost, but I can confirm the new unit is an improvement over the standard unit.

Hi just a few questions before I order one of these if anyone could advise please?
Presume this is a different box for DSG to a manual car also do the driving modes all still work the same just amplified and does the DSG constantly kick down due to the more sensitive throttle?
Any increase in mpg on normal driving motorway etc?

Thanks my car is mk7.5 GTI dsg performance.

I moved mine from a manual to a dsg without any problems. There's plenty of settings for you to try to get the best setup for you. I didn't see any difference in mpg, that'll be down to how you drive with or without the pedalbox. What I found was a more responsive throttle pedal with the dead travel removed. Don't forget about notifying your insurer.

Fitted one to my DSG about 3 months ago, there's no change in anything other than the throttle response is a lot keener, it removes that horrible delay.
Haven't noticed MPG being affected. Definately money well spent.

Had one on for years no, turned it of last week to see what is was like again. It was back on at the next set of traffic lights as the delay was terrible.
