Fitted the DTUK CRD2+ box today on setting 3 +10%. In honesty with all my research I had high expectations but in reality I was disappointed....
Fitting the box I just was not happy with the non oe look of the bolt on box, I just couldn’t find anywhere decent to fit it so slipped it down behind the headlight. Not a biggy, I can live with that cos I’m sure the benefit of an extra 50’ish bhp will make it worth it.
On initial start up I thought it sounded a bit more chuggy than before which I was not too impressed with but again I can live with that. But then the actual drive revealed very little in increased performance. I could feel it was a little different but not as dramatic as I was hoping for. I know that there are all different settings and I could play around with it but in honesty I cannot be bothered to keep disconnecting the box, dismantle it, rearrange the jumpers, reassemble and refit only to have to do it all again until I’m happy with the result (I should have held out for the newer version with the buttons on top).
I’ve not seen many bad reviews of the DTUK tuning box online so I think it’s just something that’s just not for me. I must admit the few things I have read about smokey cars gave me flash backs to the crap remap I had on the Saab.
Anyway after my test drive I came home, removed the box and will put it back on eBay. Think I’ll just stick with the pedal box, I love the difference that it made to the response and feel of the car, I was expecting the tuning box to have the same effect again but it didn’t. I’m also optimistic that the pedal box is less likely to have a detrimental effect on the car.
