I found this. I don't know if it to any use to anybody or if anybody uses one, I know that drive by wire systems can get a little slack when trying to drive spirited can be a little tricky on the downshift when trying to heel & toe etc.

As this a little useless to me as I drive a Na6 :roll:

But feel free to discuss. :NC:

Not a problem in the NC.

At that price you're well on your way to getting a flash tune with throttle response adjusted, rev limit raised if wanted and more power.

Seems like the decision would be easy.

I'm pretty sure these work by simply amplifying the signal.

Where on the stock system moving the pedal down say 10% might correspond to the car opening the throttle to 10%, with the booster thing the same 10% pedal movement may now tell the throttle to open by 15%

It's not speeding up the response time, it's just making the same pedal travel open the throttle more/faster.

Cons:
1. Cheap looking and doesn't seem like good value
2. Limited documentation (esp installation)
3. Doesn't add HP/torque at all
4. Reduced pedal resolution - 75%+ is full throttle
5. Might increase fuel consumption slightly

I lol'ed at hos list of cons.
1. It's a matte black plastic box. How much better than than cheap looking do you need? It's hidden under the dash anyway.
2. Fair enough, but not really a con of the product itself.
3. Product doesn't claim to do those things.
4. If he knew how to drive, this would be a pro, not a con. Less pedal travel the better.
5. Might be his foot doing the damage while gunning it while testing, not the product.
