DTUK box on TDI 150

[GrahamVRS]

Interested to hear opinions on anybody using a DTUK box on their 150 TDI. How does it perform with the DSG box and any issues or regrets? I remember reading somewhere that the gearbox isn’t rated for the extra torque...

The gearbox will limit the torque unless you get that mapped too

I had a DTUK box on a D5 185BHP V70 and I did not notice much of a difference and sold the box on pretty quickly. I did notice that the engine was running rougher though.

 

If you look at the graph in the link and if you use the DSG and let it do its job you will not have that much extra power under most conditions. You would have to run the DSG in S mode for that extra grunt.
