his sig says he has one.

id say it would be worth it on a track car, but on a road car it would prob make it twitchy, a bit of slack in the throttle is a nice thing to have when your doing hill starts or junctions

yeah but you can turn it off.

could be a good thing if it works, be fun for when your nailing it ect and can always be turned off. but weather or not it works is another thing, also weather or not the difference in response is worth £200 is the question that needs to be asked

I assume as no one else has this mod then it'll be a waste of fine sterling!

Remap done long ago my friend, just looking for other cheeky ways of pimpin my ride  :cool:

Be interesting to see if it would actually make a difference tho.....

kinda like having a sport button then, not worth the price tag by the looks of it!

IMO waste of money, they make the Bosch ecu driven dbw engines feel really surgy and the throttle all or nothing like an on off switch.   If you want the feeling of the sprint booster I can alter the pedal pilot map in your ecu mapping to have the same effect for £foc... But you won't like it.

You really need to be trying to get the pedal control more Linear, to allow you better control of the power on the bend and tight corners where you need the power to be eased in, not dumped in like the oem pedal mapping.

We do offer DBW-Linear throttle mapping, to make it feel more like a throttle cable driven engine.
