Hey @Theo@nn7man I have a few questions about your DTE box, if you have a minute.
Are you still happy? How does it drive in comfort? Everything smooth?
I saw your 100-200 kph has improved by about a second. Is the gain noticeable? Do you really feel more acceleration g's?
You've mentioned that you've also tuned the TCU and you did that with the box. How does that work? I didn't see a TCU tuning option on their website.
Debating whether the PedalBox is worth the extra money. I understand it eliminates the pedal response and makes it feel like the old cable throttle systems.
Not looking to have the fastest A45s on the planet obviously, or I'd have opted for one of those powerful UK tunes. Reliability is top priority and since Brabus is no longer an option, DTE sounds like a good alternative. Thanks.
Yes, I'm still happy with the box. It's hard to notice any difference at all in comfort, still drives very nicely. But if you're on it in Sport + or Race it is noticeably more ferocious. My 100-200kmh was 10.57s stock and I'm now running 9.15s albeit thats with intake and Akra back box too, I was hitting 9.45s with just the box. That's quite a difference and you can feel it.
The TCU tune is a separate product, it plugs into the OBD2 port and flashes the TCU then unplug and its all done. Can be used again if the dealer returns the TCU to stock. I'm not sure I can feel much difference if I'm honest. I've also bought the DTE Pedalbox but haven't got round to fitting it yet.
