I think I may have to turn mine down another notch as I'm starting to get clutch slip
Yeah?! All gears?
Is it just revving when you floor it?

Yeah, the revs fly up but it doesn't go any faster. It's not too bad at the moment but I've had it in 3rd - 6th.

Just make sure you follow the instructions...
Make sure the car is at operating temperature (90) and that you give it time to calibrate. Also, if you are changing the power setting, always return it to zero before altering the map. (all info I got from the company on the phone)
I'm on map 4, which is a smoother map that seems to be spread across the rev range a bit more. I've also upped the power a bit, and it seems perfect for me. I tend not to rag the car but my daily drive sometimes requires quick overtakes on a busy A road, so it's perfect for that!
Map 1 seemed to deliver the power/torque more aggressively and then tail off quicker. Didn't like this as much!
Not great, mate! New clutch or changing/removing remap?
as someone who has sold tuning units for over 6 years ,i can honestly say that clutch slip is caused by a poor tuning box map ,no point in getting loads of torque if your standard car cant take it .
a good remap or tuning unit will not chew a clutch up in 3 months unless it was on its way out anyway ,the cutch slips when there is too much power around the peak power point ,and you claim you had a 'good map' .a good map or tuning unit should not cost you more money in bits to rebuild your car due to too poorly distributed power gainsI'd have to disagree with you there - I had a Revo remap on my Leon cupra tdi and the standard clutch only lasted 3 months. It was a great remap but I used to boot it every-where and the standard clutch just couldn't cope - if I had been a bit more careful with the extra power I might not have had any problems.

Surely the most stress on the clutch is at peak torque?
Has anybody else fitted a DTUK to their car apart from the couple on this post?
yeah
my 1.4 has one on, but its not been on long,
dont know what there on about with improved fuel consumption though, maby if you drive like a an old woman you might see some benefits.
no smoke at all !
obviously if you installed it not following instructions your car would run like arse
on map 4 standard power setting (what it came shipped on )
smooth strong power all the way through the rev range
im pleased with it, its a very sharp peice of kit, very professional presentation and production wise but it wants to be for how much it cost. these kits are actually dte units and dtuk are the uk distro for them (i read this somewhere on another forum)
all i can speak from is the limited experience with the box up to press.
my mpg seems to have redued, however the jumpers on my box arnt set up like anything in the manual, im going to phone them to ask what the other maps will do on the 1.4.
I understand the science behind the increased mpg but, how can i accuratly judge it if the dash gives a false reading.
its still early days ll wait till ive setled down with it to comment fully on mpg
overall im a very happy chap and the dtuk box comes well recomended from me
if you have a good tuning unit and drive as you did before you should gain 2-5mpg ,even driving harder it should stay roughly as you got before
