I have a feeling that this tiny product will make a sagnificant improvement and increase the responsiveness of the throttle. Especially on cars with Auto transimssion in D mode.
I know very well that a similar product works very well at my colleague's porsche with pdk.

I remember clearly a couple of months ago during a test drive with an Auto ecoboost , the lag in D mode when flooring the pedal. I didn't like the feeling of this lag.

Anyone bought it?

If I had the car I would have try it for sure.

Why not use S mode and save yourself some money?

This can be done in a tune as well, so in my opinion it is a waste.

After the horror story with the JMS BoostMAX I'd stay away from their products. Seems like people are trying to go the cheap route to attain the same things that can be done with a tune. Not worth it in order to save $300-400. :headbonk:

There are already 2 confirmed blown mustang eb engines as a result of using these. The dyno they posted for these things was ugly too

This or the boostmax? All this thing does is amplify the fly by wire throttle signal aka similar to what putting the car in sport/track mode does.

Actually I wasn't paying attention and was thinking he was talking about the boostmax BUT at least one of the cars with blown engine had both boostmax and pedalmax

Because S mode changes gears at high revs, not practical for easy/smooth driving.

There are many times you want a combination of smooth driving and instant accelaration.
Like manual trans.

Yeh, this is similar to Sprintbooster it sounds ,which is fine if ECU is locked but as others mention a tune can do same or better .

It's a shame the sport/track table is the same. I would have to have this tuned to my track mode, but I want the option to drive without it on sport.

You could just leave the shifter in sport and use the paddles
