I got mine one (not installed yet), because I just don't see how much space is left around the bumper, and jumping out several times while parking is a pain in the a§§ ;)

Ya know, I haven't paid attention to that part. I might be able to figure out how to measure it, though...

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for trying out new things... But is it really better not to have the option to adjust throttle response based on different conditions?

I second how throttle controller, really minimizes throttle lag, its near instantaneous, and the option to make it MORE laggy for mpg concerns is good too.

However, not to knock throttle controllers, my NTD one developed "Limp mode" issues, and throwing CEL for like throttle position voltage too low or something along those lines, meaning the car, just says, "throttle is giving weird signals, better just disregard what its tell the engine to do" Least limp is much safer than uncontrolled acceleration.

You should check that the power cables aren't shorting out on you. I had to resolder mine a few weeks ago. Hopefully that will fix your issue.

Does that mean open up the control box? Ill take a look at all solder points when i put it back in the car tomorrow.

Nope, I'm talking about the power cables that get connected to the OBD port. I was getting limp mode every time I pressed the clutch pedal and it turned out that the power cable got tangled up a bit.

That's what a lightweight flywheel does. And a pulley, too.

That explains the clicking sounds (same sound the box makes when changing modes) when I gently tug on the cables. Thank for the tech tip

Just mat it when the light turns green
