I've just read this Paul,
I'd expect to see an elm light on anything above plus 10% as I designed the maps to run at a safe level ( no lights) on zero or plus 10. Hath Andrew |

Thanks Andrew
Still had no more problems and I've been fully enjoying the summer tyres' grip with full throttle quite a lot of the time I think next winter when I change the wheels back over, I'll just take the box off as the winter rubber obviously can't handle that much torque - lesson learnt!

Nice write up. Sorry to bring this thread back, but i also have a CRD-T box. The box is brilliant. So is the customer service. Only thing that could be improved is the time taken to adjust, but once you find the right map this does not matter.
I find myself alternating between maps 2 and 3, and sticking to +10%. The only time i have had a EML is when I first got it and put it rather eagerly on +30%. Even then the EML only came on on the motorway, accelerating from 70mph+. I noticed driving through normal roads +30% was never a problem in regards to the EML. Oh yeah, and the power was very nice But I only ever put it on +30% once. Reason being after talking with Andrew i took his advice not to go to +30%. But im just wondering, as i never cleared this exactly with Andrew, if i take it to +30%, and there is no EML, is that still bad? |

Great write up Parapaul, I was looking at a tuning box as still under AUC warranty so remap out of the question running a 320d lci just needs a bit more oomph when spooling up low speed and for overtaking. Not sure what the insurance will say.

Run one of these boxes on my 2009 LCI 320D, great piece of kit and support from DTUK is secend to none. Got to put it few some paces when did couple of ring trips and performed perfectly. Ended up running it on a 520D 177 as well when I fitted the PPK on my 320D and again worked a treat. Its a good way of having a easily reversible map and Andrew is a top guy

Right i've not fitted my DTUK box ( CRD-T BOX ) as the weathers CRAP and icey cold so not the best time for checking a new tuning box me finks....
checking the black block postions on my boxes pins the box that i have ( i got it 2nd hand ) is set to map 3 + 20%. As soon as the weathers better i'll fit it and post results.....s |

I think 30% would be full boost all @ once and 20% 10% are just watered down version's of that. |

Shameful bump! Very interesting thread, has given me a lot to think about
I have a 2012 E92 330d and have been looking at the market for tuning box for it. I have read heaps of reviews regarding some of these tuning boxes only changing the fuel supply so i thought the DTUK system, fuel and boost, seemed better and was more reassured with the above information. Im not interested in bench tuning as i want to be able to revert back to standard if required. Also considering some of the prices, it doesn't seem too bad even with int shipping. Holmefield, if you see this, would you care to give me an update on how your system is going (Or anyone else with a 330d for that matter). Thanks! |

My car went to dealer last week so had to remove the box.
Car felt boring. When my car returned, I changed the boost level to 20% on map 3 (it was 10% on map 3) and difference is amazing! Car feel more agile and responsive. Has anybody tried map 4?

If im honest MPG HAS stayed the same ( around 37/39 mpg ) the car feels exactly the same until you put your foot down hard, 2nds not that much different but the 3rd and fourth are brilliant the car just feels so much more responsive with the DTUK box on.. |

I have just read so many mixed reviews of tuning boxes to these things, some people have no problems, others have heaps. My driving would be like yours, just quiet cruise to and from work most days but want a little extra power when required. Either way - would much rather have a tuning box that i can remove if i decide i dont like it or want to sell! |
