I tried the eco mode for a tank and got an extra 50 miles, it's going to pay for itself.

You also have to buy the controller, it's the same for all.

So I just installed this little throttle controller that I would have bet would have done nothing. However, I was so wrong. It makes a huge difference in how the car responds, the car so much more enjoyable to drive now. I would recommend that everyone on here orders it right after reading this.It has to be the best thing i have put on my car for $250. Takes all of 10 min to install and fits perfectly in our cars.

I would like to thank VIP Auto Salon for all the help.
They are hands down the nicest company I have ever dealt with in the automotive industry.

I do not understand thebpoint of a throttle controller.... It's a lot cheaper to put your foot to the floor...

I thought the same thing until i got it. I would highly suggest you buy it and you will see the difference. Putting your foot to the floor does not get close to matching when you have the throttle controller on Boost Mode.

Its all in the perception, its just making the peddle more sensitive in "boost" mode.

I was told by the people at APEXI that is also opens up the throttle body value more on boost mode while you are idling. Its not just perception if you don't believe me your loss. Its a great product
