I may be interested in a tester. Do you have a pic of one of your other units? Just want to see what your kits contains and what it acually looks like.

3 steps, 30 minutes installation.

Step1: plug the connector to OBD port (to supply power to the unit)

Step2: plug the necessary harness to the accelerator connector (the port above the gas pedal)

Step3: program the module and you are ready to roll

Guys,

Thanks for all the pm. We do get a lot of inquiries asking how much HP can be achieved by using our kit?

We would like to reiterate again that our kit won't give you any HP gain. We also get a lot of comments on other forums like
”This is a waste of money buying something that won’t help performance gain”

However, our Adjustable Throttle Controller does improve your 0-60 time and corner taking time?? Why??

Here are the reasons:

1. While entering corner, your right foot only needs to push 20% deep on the gas paddle to achieve the speed you need. At the brake point, your right foot can move to the brake paddle faster and brake later than normal. (That means u have an advantage while going into corner)

2. While getting out of the corner, you only need 1/3 of original time to get the throttle open and throw yourself out of corner.

The same logic can also be applied for other situation. For NA folks, have you ever found your throttle lag makes your driving dangerous while entering ramp or trying to merge into traffic speed??? That's when our ETC Sports mode comes into play to help you get into highway traffic safely.

On the other hand, our ECO mode is certainly a way to save gas. Especially for ppl who have boosted setup as their daily driver, it is a good way to save fuel and brake wear if they have to drive through congested urban area routinely.


We appreciate any comments or suggestions
TWP

especially on turbo setup this on reduces lag.. faster throttle opening makes the turbo spool early

I at least have never had a problem with pressing the throttle exactly as much as I intended to.

Thanks for the comment, Sir.

Our kit serves kind of like a TV remote control.
We all know we don't need remote to change channels and volumes. However, it is flexible and easy to have a remote to change between channels immediately when you need it.

Personally, Yes, if I were you, i wouldn't spend pricey $300 more bucks on something my right foot can handle. But if the price range is right, i wouldn't mind considering this add-on to make more fun out of my regular drive.

Again, we appreciate any comments and opinions

Sincerely,
TWP

No, Sir.
If you are able to change your CAI, there shouldn't be a problem to install our kit.
The test sample will be the real product w/ complete instruction to follow.

Does it need to be plugged into the obd port to get power? or could it be hardwired into the car? For some of us, we have the scangauge hooked up taking that port already?
