Just called my lease company and they are OK with it!
I know what I will be buying in the new year!

DTUK tuning box
- Thread starter DeanC
- Start date
And thanks Dean for keeping us updated on your experience and giving me a lot more confidence in the DTUK boxes.
Great News!
To bad it doesn't support the 1.8 TSI version
Try www.racechip.com I had there tdi box on my mk6 golf and was a good bit of kit they use the same innards as most as they copied the dte format.
I backed up my phone today so i thought i would share the videos I mentioned.
This is a before and after comparison (33mb): http://smebo.co.uk/video/dtuk_box_before_and_after.wmv
It's easier to time in premiere than on my phone, i said 13sec and 10sec but if you start when you hear the stupid sport mode drone kick in and stop at 100mph on the display i make it:
Before - 3sec - 16.7sec = 13.7sec
After - 27.7sec - 38.6sec = 10.9sec
2.8sec or 20% quicker

Says the person who thinks that a standard 184 TDi is not fast enough for public roads and buys a box of diodes that may or may not improve the performance and may or may not end the warranty.
If the car was not fast enough why did you buy it in the first place.

I don't think there are millions of idiots out there, perhaps a few hundred at the outside.
Skidpan should maybe look at a different thread if he isn't interested in improving performance. It's not compulsory you know.
Lets get back on track and see how Dean progresses with the box, in the meantime go and look at the cleaning and polishing topics.
And the rest...how big is the tuning market...how much turnover does it do...some company's do very well on this alone...way more than just a few hunderad...
What people with cars over 180hp?
Just noticed you edited your post. I bought it mainly to save money. It is a great value package and I could not justify spending more for a better badge but no more car.
It is a large decrease in power from my previous car but the tuning certainly lessens it. Worth £300 of my money and like I said, each to their own.

Very much agree plus my other car has 525bhp so the more ther merrier although the torque with the DTUK box is more than that car.
