Having one fitted to my Vectra 3.0V6 CDTi tomorrow morning.

It's the latest red model box with 4 maps installed including the "Harry" and "Sally" ones, from a company called DTUK.

Wondered if anyone here has been using one?.

Heard lots of good things about them, only negative/downside seems to be that when really going for it, there's an increase in diesel smoke from the exhausts.

Any input appreciated.
 
I'll take that as a "No" then?. LOL!!!

Just back from a run after having it fitted.

Its on map one of the 4 installed, the "Harry" profile.

The difference in power and drivability is instantly noticable. No hesitation or flat spots, instant power on tap. 4th gear pulls hard like its in 3rd, as do all the rest of the gears. Overtaking although it was easy before, is a breeze now, doesnt really matter what gear your in.

Going to leave it on map one for a week or so, then try the others. Map 4, the "Sally" one is said to be quite brutal in power delivery, so thats going to be interesting!!.

Took 5 minutes to fit. So very pleased so far even on the lowest setting.

A recommended upgrade for anyone who was thinking of doing this to their turbo diesel. Big thumbs up from me!!!. :D

Nice mod but whoever thought of "Sally" & "Harry" needs to rethink! What about "fast" and "ffast"
 
Sounds like an interesting tuning box, i'm looking at derv tuning at the moment, to go from 185bhp to 226bhp and 400nm to 460nm, should take 1.5 - 2 seconds off the 0-60 as well £590.
 
This particular Powerclick box took me from 177bhp and 370Nm as standard to @209bhp and 450Nm ( which is what it was rolling roaded at ). Thats with it on map 1, Harry, the lowest setting.

There's a bit more to be had ( @220bhp ), I'm told by Andrew at DTUK, map 4 ( Sally ) is a beast of a profile. :cool:

By the way, the names come from the original map1 author/tester and a movie.

Harry was the fella responsible for the development of map 1, and they chose the name Sally after further development of the current map 4 as "When Harry met Sally it was orgasmic"....LOL!!!
 
Yup, reports of a reprogram to the Volvo D5 engine has reported some rather good results!

2 secs off of the 0-60 time is probably quite ambitious though.
