Default It's a drive by wire system....>

There's an electronic Piggyback box that supposedly improves response but no one here has gone that route. Honestly with an intake and a Boost machine to Punch the response up, it's not really needed... Do you have a particular complaint?

Default I was going to buy one from a UK vendor, and he told me they have taken out most of the

ones they put in. It gives "apparent" faster response, but you lose any control. He said it basically turns the pedal in to an on-off switch.

Here's his quote:

"We've stopped selling these now, they do sharpen the throttle in lower revs by giving 100% opening straight away. But this then means the last 50% of the throttle does nothing. We tested them on our R32, our RS4 and customers TT and ended up taking them off all three."

This is for a product called "Sprint Booster".

Default We're 3 for 3 on the B6A4 side..soon to be a 4th..hahaha...

I know some of you guys will be at QDM this year, and I'll invite you to try it if it's a hit. If it's a bust, I never said that. After extensive reading, some crossfire guys complained of too much throttle response down low and the car became too aggressive.
