Use the auto mode to get started and as you learn to WOT shift faster, you will probably want to set it to manual and dial down the cut time. Setting it to manual and a shorter delay will allow you to hold more boost through the shift, but allows less time for you to complete the shift. So, it is best adjusted after practicing on auto.

The auto mode adjusts to however long you take to shift, up to 350 ms... which is not very long, but it feels like an eternity. The manual mode just does what you program it to, which can be shorter than the whole length of the shift.

Leave it on auto to start. Once your shifting time improves you can bring it down to hold more boost through the shift. Auto will feel too long after a while.

It will take a bit of retraining, since you are probably not used to keeping your right foot down through the shift. But, you'll get it real quick because it is a lot of fun.

Hey guys, I can tell you this is the best $190 you will ever spend! I was just like you guys, read and watch till someone else buys it to test. I figured, what the hell, I'll buy it.

I just got it installed about 2 hours ago and went for a little drive on a deserted road. I have never done a WOT shift in my car before in fear of messing something up. It was as smooth as butter! I had the biggest smile on my face when I went through 2nd, 3rd, 4th...and had to shut down due to a turn coming up.

You guys will not regret this, VERY fun add-on, especially when I get my turbo this month .

I did notice something that was weird though, after my WOT run, my check engine light blinked a couple times and went away. I was like WTF, whipped out my trusty scan tool and it came up with pending misfire codes for cyl 1, 2, 3, & 4. No big deal, just throwing those because of the no-lift shift. So if you get a blinking check engine light, that is just because of that.

All in all, awesome product and I will recommend it to each and everyone you guys.

I will get pics of my install and vids tomorrow with it in action.

I'm out.
