ya i was part of the group buy and i really like it..if your looking for these massive performance gains your not really gonna get it but it does let you accelerate much fast and ive been getting used to shifting with SP7 mode so thats my DD mode for the most part. i did notice a difference in MPG when using the SP as its did lower it some but its much more fun to use as when down shifting you can feel the difference and the amount of pull in 1st gear is unreal and even some in second

wow u use sp7 for a DD......the most ive used is SP3+4.....as the higher ones i dont feel in control off..

but i have the throttle controller and even though there are threads about this.and searching isnt hard,i will tell you that its worth it,you can feel a difference in the response and its more active,the more mods the better,if your turboed,ill spool the turbo quicker,all in all its a great little mod,or add on,not only will it make the car quicker,theres ECO mode,where if your in snow switch it to lets say ECO3 ill slow down the response as if you had traction control,if you dont want to use the controller,put it on normal mode,want to go faster switch to sporting mode 1-7....i can go on and on..all im saying i love mine...didnt think much of it at first

yeah it takes a lot of getting used to and can be very touchy when starting up and trying to ease the clutch out with minimal throttle but you get the hang of it eventually.
they reason i learned to DD on 7 is because im a spontaneous driver and i like having the ability to smash the throttle and feel the difference and not have to change the settings every time but i used to DD on SP3 and that was a nice happy medium or even SP4

wow, seems like a interesting toy,im gonna have to pick one up and try it,ive read a few threads that it does make a difference,someone said it feels almost like a turbo as the more mods you have the better ill fuction....my friend spent big bucks on the blitz one..and looks like this control does 10x more but half the price....

yeah just when you first start using it make sure you work your way through the modes because people have reported CEL and problems with car bogging and being sluggish if you go straight to the big numbers
