One word, Wow! This really makes the car feel alive. It unleashes the beast! Anyone that has doubts about getting one I would have to say, just do it and drive fast. Thanks for selling me it Jangy!

Device you install between pedal the ECU. Tricks the ECU into opening the Throttle Body faster with less pedal movement. No HP gain at all, just throttle opens faster with less push of the pedal.

not quite that simple, really. It also sends a constant pulse that keeps the ecu ready to go.....

So is the only place you can get them on Ebay Jang?? Besides used of course.

Bout the only complaint I have now. Tick of a lag when I get on it. Then it erupts with hell fire, but there's that split sec before.

That split second is exactly why i had it. They made the AMG model to back off the throttle map, but kept the snap.

They are available. You can get them from the same guy I buy from. I met him on Ebay during our group buy, but he has been cool with me since. I'll see if HMS (a sponser) wants to carry them so that everyone here can get them easier.

I hate to say it, but i think Creative may have some left (or never got the ones they claimed). I'd hope that my fellow members would avoid them after all of my issues, but that may be a lead.

I bet it was packaged well too!

Jangy is the packing equivalent of a blind man at an orgy. He's just feeling his way through it.

Hey Jangy, did you ever get your links back? Hope your wife was at least able to get a couple cups of coffee from that starbucks card I put in there with it.

HAHA!!! I have upgraded. I bought him a padded envelope !!

These days, getting my shipping department to find the parts is the issue. Anyone know of a cheap ERP setup?

Got the links, but especially the coffee. Wife? I still got $6 on that card. Maybe I'll try to grab a cup today and go down to the warehouse and see where your grill is?

Post how it goes. They were just advertising in the C section (lol!!) so I thought I'd let them get a shot at the AMG guys.

Yeah the padded envelope was a nice touch It got here never the less. Not really a part that is easily broken anyway. I still get a grin everytime I give it half throttle. Now when it "pulses" does that mean it makes the ECU like it's always reset? Like the old "put the key in, press the gas peddle" reset? It always feels really strong now when I give it any kind of throttle. Super responsive!

the ECU reset thing will still work, but the more agressive signal makes the ecu learn better anyways.
