there was another thread about this... coryjames said he might be interested in getting one to try out so that he can put some consistency in his dyno runs...

if youre wondering if it works, it does. turbo magazine did a test of it and they found that the throttle was much more linear. its the october 2008 issue with the supra "texas terror" if you can find it...

Is this something that only really benefits a 5 speed? or will this help with an Auto too? and is this similar to a WOT box?

I never knew DBW cars were limited to 90-95% throttle. That's interesting.

i've done some research about this product before and from what i remember is people actually feel the difference in how quickly the car can respond even in the low rpm. the best thing about it is you can change the mode while you're driving.
each time you turn off the car the blitz controller also turn off and won't come on til you turn it on. many who tried this product absolutley enjoy it.
do anyone where i can find the lowest price on this? really looking forward to getting one.

forgot to mention that this works w/auto and manual but i believe the manual might benefit more.

installed the blitz sunday i my 09 xb and you can feel the difference in throtle responce in all 4 levels.it was an easy install.great product..................also installed the ingles stiffy.except for the engine noise transfer also a great product. i had to add rubber washers at all conection points to get rid of the engine noise.this changed how the the xb shifts and drives for the better.much smother now.no more lugging in reverse..or off the line..............

did you setup the ETD to the softest or stiffest?
i tried it out and i prefer stiffest and i also install rubber/fiber washer to all metal to metal contacts which help cut down the vibration by alot.
planning on replacing the front and rear shaft to something thats seems like a hard plastic. i think that will help alot

i havn't had time to check it but by the feel of the acceleration [slower] the mpg is going to be better than stock.besides the way i drive mpg isnt a consideration.......frank

So is your ride an auto or manual? Do you think it was worth the $350?
