hopefully this product will not be an issue with stuck accelerator pedal or stuck throttle plates with drive-by-wire systems. kinda like what happen to those Lexus's you see in the news lately.

Yes, Sir. The kit can be hardwired into the car. If you don't know how to do the hardwiring, you can always buy a obd splitter cable (like extension cord) to have both our kit and ScanGuage hooked up.
Actually, here is a review from our customer at Honda Fit sdie who has both ScanGauge and our kit on his car.

That will never happen. We have saftety bypass design integraed in our module. Whenever there is something wrong w/ the circuit board or IC units, the switch will automatically bypass the signal back to stock setting.

so this basically takes the place of me pushing my foot down faster????

not being a jerk, just going based off your picture...how in fact does it give 20hp by just opening up the throttle when i have my foot pushed down on the gas at 60%

Here are some words quoted from our customers from Mazda6 side
""

Basically this thing is just a voltage amplifier which at whatever setting amps voltage sent to the ECU/Throttle Body to make the throttle plate open faster and sooner. Just as the Blitz and sprint booster.

This product does not make HP or TQ increases. it just opens the TP further at the plate than the pedal input. which in turn give "throttle response increase"

it's basically doing the following.

STOCK

Pedal Input= 20% Throttle Plate= 15%-25% (depending on load, rpm, and speed)

Pedal Input=50% Throttle Plate= 45%-60% (depending on load, rpm, and speed)

Pedal Input= 100% Throttle Plate= 75%-85% (depending on load, rpm, and speed)

Adjustable Throttle Controller(similar products: blitz, SPrint booster)

SPORT MODE:

Pedal Input= 20% Throttle Plate=40%-50% (load, rpms, and speed still have an effect, just not as noticable due to the voltage ramp up)

Pedal Input= 50% Throttle Plate=75%-85% (load, rpms, and speed still have an effect, just not as noticable due to the voltage ramp up)

Pedal input= 65% Throttle Plate= 95%-100% (load, rpms, and speed still have an effect, just not as noticable due to the voltage ramp up)

ECO MODE:


Pedal Input= 50% Throttle Plate= 40%-45%

Pedal Input= 25% Throttle Plate= 15%

NOTE: those numbers arent meant to be 100% correct.....just used for reference to let you know what its doing.

0-60 and 1/4 mile time will get better with this due to the quicker opening. but how much still depends on the driver and cars mods to deteremine how much better. ""

Hope this could explain the concept of how our Adjustable controller works!

Got the throttle controller installed and working perfectly. I will have the review written within a day or two after I've done more driving.
