Question Electronic Gas Pedal Sprint Booster question

Sprint booster, to get or not to get?

I like the idea of my car being ready for me to GTFU and go, but are there any adverse effects to taking away my car's ability to learn how I drive? Will this add to the effect of a chipped (1+) 1.8T?

Just wondering if it is worth it (probably post-chip for me)


Though I am slightly startled about how my car *isn't* ready for me to slam the gas at any time...

Illtek R&D=FAIL!! I can't see this being great for $330. Their so called "chip" looks like a joke. Your better off gettting flashed and injectors.

hmmm never heard of that before. idk it may be a good thing when you need to punch it from a stop to catch up with the moving traffic. to get off of my street is sometimes a pain to pull out at. the speed limit on the road i turn on to is 55 meaning people are probably going like 65-70. it would be nice being able to pull out knowing that my car is not going to hesitate.

is the ability for the car learning how you drive that important? thats my only question. i am very interested in this thread! GREAT FIND!

This thing looks like a scam to me. How I understand it it just advances the throttle position. So when your at 1/4 throttle your at half, when your at 1/2 its at 3/4, etc. It doesn't actually create any more horse power, it just takes away the linearity of your throttle and makes the tip in more jumpy. If you want to accelerate quickly just step on your gas pedal more.
