Throttle Controllers
What is a Throttle Controller ?
A throttle controller is a simple device that lets you control the way your car accelerates when you push the gas pedal. This is called Throttle Response. Some cars a more sensitive than others.
With this device, you will be able to adjust that sensitivity from stock setting to quicker response settings.
When choosing a device, the most important thing is to make sure the Throttle Controller does exactly that because some devices claim to increase the throttle response but instead they simply amplify the signal being sent to the throttle body making it believe that you have pushed the gas pedal more than what you actually did.
Some throttle controllers have digital buttons to increase or decrease the settings, others have optional knobs that make it easier to turn left or right.
Most Throttle Controllers are compatible with ECU Tunes.
Yes, ECU Tunes do have also throttle response settings but nowhere near the adjustment and response you will experience from a real controller.
ECU Tunes can only adjust no more than 15% of what a real controller can do.
ECU Tune Throttle response cannot be adjusted on the fly so one setting stays that way until you retune your car again.
When choosing a Throttle Controller, make sure it is of good quality components: the wiring quality..etc..
Since it is a plug and play upgrade, there is no alteration to your existing wiring.
A Throttle Controller connects using your existing harness making it a simple install in a few minutes.
Your Warranty will not be void.
Before you purchase any brand, do your reseatch on the forums, youtube videos and other customer reviews...
The install should be straight forward.
when test driving for the first time, take your time to choose the best setting that suits your driving style and get ready for a big smile ! :)
