Throttle controller

[gazhull8474]

Booked in with abbey to get an uprev done. If I buy a throttle controller will I notice a difference with it fitted

[Zugara]

Try the controller first?

[chippy]

Apparently you don't need a throttle controller with a tune

do you need a tune if you have a throttle controller

[chippy]

well I guess the throttle controller only sharpens up the throttle response and gives 100% throttle in the lower gears, whereas a tune will make any other goodies - intake, exhaust, plenum etc work sweeter?

[gazhull8474]

Think I will wait for the uprev to be done then try and get a drive in a car which has the throttle controller fitted and not an uprev done to see if I need both

Correct with the first bit, the second bit is untrue.

 

 

It only sharpens throttle response, it won't give 100% WOT.

 

The throttle controller is for making the accelerator super sensitive, it doesn't add power. It's not a substitute for an UpRev.

Stew would you say I would need to have one after the uprev and is there much difference after an uprev has been done

[spursmaddave]

The Throttle Controller is a cheap thrill not the real deal

 

All it does is make the throttle as sensitive or dull as you want by turning it up or down, the upRev is a tune.

 

I have my D1 for now but when you have an upRev the throttle controller is apparently not required.... but I am tempted to try it once I do have a map

No you wont need one after the uprev,yes it makes a difference,your car will be quicker to 85,imo if you just have 1 performance mod this is the best 1.

If you have the uprev to get more power and tune your car...... does having a throttle controller mean that you can "economise or not" that power?

I have asked the same thing

 

ZManAlex used both both

 

When I get an upRev after Christmas I will give it a try....

[Boycey]

not to derail this thread but can you get a throttle controller for the HR

Nope

Another good thing about the throttle controller is in wet/icy/snowy conditions you can set the controller to Eco7 and the car is a lot safer but it's like driving a 1.1 diesel

100bhp or 500bhp,its not the car its the way you drive it in those conditions,if your unsafe in the wet your unsafe in the dry

[gazhull8474]

Well I'm booked in with abbey so will be looking out for someone with a throttler fitted to take me for a spin to see how much difference there is between the uprev and just a controller fitted or having both done

[Stew]

There are a few people with both done as far as I know.

 

With the Uprev you'll gwet the best tune, if you still crave the mental sensitive throttle then adding a throttle controller would work I think.

Thanks for the help stew may look into getting one if I feel I need it after the uprev
