Frequently Asked Questions

 
Some Controllers are compatible with different cars, you will need to call one of our representatives and they will be able to tell you if it is possible.

Yes, our Throttle Controllers do come with a 2 years warranty.

This will cover any defect / malfuntioning within the first 24 months after your purchase.

Yes, because it has an internal memory,  the controller will always remember its last setting so there is no need to always choose your favorite setting.

Our Throttle Controller connects directly to the plug that is sitting on top of your gas pedal. Using the exact same OEM Harness with no additional wiring.  Real easy to install in less than 5 minutes.

We do not use an OBD2 connector on our Throttle Controller !

Beware of other companies that use this kind of setup:  The OBD2 will only send the wrong signal to your ECU by telling it that you have pushed the pedal further than you did.  This will NOT improve the Throttle response or reduce lag !

Yes !   Since our Throttle Controller has zero effect on emissions, you can use it in all states.
Our Throttle Controller is very easy to install, it plugs in-line right on your Gas pedal harness, providing a huge improvement in throttle response, reaction time and your acceleration.

This is applicable for both Manual and Automatics.

For naturally aspirated cars, you will have a more linear, more precise and precise acceleration.

For Turbo / Supercharged vehicles, you will be able to reduce the Turbo Lag, improve the low and Mid-range performance.

Unlike a Tune, our Throttle Controller will not void your warranty because it does not interfere with your ECU.

This is a simple Plug and Play device that can be removed anytime without modifying your original Tune.

How do you fix throttle lag ?

Throttle lag is the delay you feel after stepping on the gas pedal and the time your car starts accelerating.

Some cars have a way to choose a sport mode which reduces a little bit Lag and makes the Transmission shift earlierand at higher RPMs...

The other way is to install a Throttle Commander which will help you decrease Lag.

What is a Performance Throttle Body and do you need one ?

 

A Throttle body controls how much air enters your engine. Performance Throttle Bodies will provide you with more power while keeping the right Air / Fuel Ratio.

A performance Throttle Body is optimised for more air flow by makking it bigger or by porting the inside wall:

Bigger in Size

 The bigger, the more airwill flow through the Throttle Body within limits of the engine size....

Ported Throttle Body:

A ported Throttle Body is machined to make it smooth and this will help the air flow stream without interference.

Tuning will help you get more from your engine. More power, more torque.

 

Some handheld tuners have also the possibility to modify the Throttle response tables on your ECU.  The only limits are the ECU will only allow up to 15% throttle response improvement,  anything beyond that value and the ECU will not accept it. 

A Throttle Controller will help you improve the Throttle response by up to 200% increase.

Yes, you may use both a tune and a throttle controller.

How to get better gas mileage ?

We all try to save gas on our daily communtes or anytime we can. With today's gas prices, it doesn't matter if you're driving a 4 cylinder, V6 or a V8, every gallon counts.

Yes, with a Throttle Controller, you can actually improve your mileage without much effort, here is how:

A Throttle Controller gives you precise accelerations and with that, you are pushing the gas pedal exactly the amount needed, not more, not less, therefore you are not burning more gas than you need.
