Yes, Alex should be able to source them.

I installed the DTE Pedal Box and am very happy with the results. Reduces throttle lag considerably. I am using it in sport mode. I plan to add the ATE engine tune once it becomes available.

I'm intrigued by this. How does it work? It just holds a higher rpm at a stop so the turbo keeps spooling?

Does anyone know the part numbers for the aluminum pedals available in Europe for the Q8? Europrice has them but just trying to price compare a bit.

For some reason, they were actually easier to install on the Q8 than they were on the Q7.

Pedal Box? Does it help lag?

f10, would live to hear more about your Pedal Box experiences. Does it help with off the line lag, and the 2-3 upshift lag? My old Q7 didn't feel faster, but sure had less pedal fight, or lag. Was it hard to install? Where do you hang the controller box? Sorry for questions, just so few of us . I too await some engine box tunes . Thanks in advance for the kind information.

Based on my very limited 2-3 day experience with the Q8, I think it’s the mild hybrid system in the q8, Audi has programmed the engine to turn off quicker when (actually before) coming to a stop.

I’m going to drive for a few drive days with the auto start stop off to see if this will prevent the “lag” that we are feeling.

I think Cayenne owners are facing something similar with the same hybrid set up (?)
