For some cars you may need a screwdriver or some kind of tools, but nothing complicated.īefore the installation, we went on an empty piece of road to do a couple of runs from 0 to 100kmh (timed with my smartphone). TIP: before you start, read the installation guide to make sure you have everything at hand. It was my first time doing it and I did it with no problems and in just a couple of minutes. Get everything out from the box, get the manual and pop up the engine cover - then you can start identifying all the plugs from the engine and just follow the instructions. Also, to make it easier to mount the module in the engine bay, they will provide some zip ties.Īs you look at the pictures, the installation may look a bit complicated, but let me assure you that it's really easy to install. Then, as you dig deeper, you will find the engine specific wiring loom, an installation manual, some papers regarding warranty, some other TUV papers and a by-pass safety plug. When you open the box you will see the PowerControl X which looks really good and it feels like it's built really well. We first tested the PowerControl X and used the car’s Driving modes, so we didn’t install the PedalBox at the beginning. Our test car was a VW Golf VII with the famous 2.0 TDI that produces 150HP coupled with a 6-speed DSG Gearbox.


After we received a few question on what we think about PowerBoxes or Chip tuning, we reached out to our friends from DTE Systems and they sent us, for free, their chip tuning system called PowerControl X and a PedalBox.
