They should also throw in a bottle of water from the "Fountain of Youth" with every order. It's all in your head (and butt dyno) this is just like the sprint booster module some of the Audi guys were talking about. Show me some real (computerized) data that proves the elevated sensitivity.

Wrong - you can still install it. I have an AWD F Sport with cold weather package and it works just fine.

since you have it, what do you about that mod... would you recommend it and why... I would some feedback to determine if it's worth while. Thanks in advanced.

That's awesome thanks. One question though, is it reversible? Meaning, can I take it off whenever I want?

I read that the install was 10 minutes? Is that really true? Seems like you have to take apart the dash to install the flush mount button...

Anyone have DIY install for this? Thinking about getting it especially if the throttle response will be more like a BMW

For those of you who have installed the apexi smart accel controler and for OP do you see any difference in gas economy. I installed mine, connecting all wires didn't take that long, what took longer is trying to make it look neat. I can definately see the difference in throttle response, but gas economy, i still don't know, maybe because i drive short distance and it is stop and go. Would like to hear others experience who has the apexi smart accel controler.

Sorry. But just press the throttle harder. They can't get their supercharger to work so they release non performance stuff like this?

It opens up the throttle faster as well. You can press the gas as hard as you want but it wont speed up how fast the TB opens. The throttle lag really gets to me sometimes.
