Snagged one for $43! Totally worth! At first it may seem to not work, but try unplugging from the gas pedal and replugging. Just be sure not to disconnect the control pad from the cable box while the engine is running/only unplug it only if you are removing the mod entirely. You will get temporary error codes about the parking brake and stability control malfunctioning. (Cause the computer sees the throttle signal getting disrupted?)
It’s funny how many people are so misinformed about how throttle controllers work. It doesn’t trick the throttle to think the pedal is further down than it actually is, it makes the throttle valve open faster than stock. Most stock drive by wire set ups make the throttle open slowly and that’s where the response lag happens. This thing makes it so the throttle responds quicker to the pedal input. So instead of you putting your foot down 50% and then the throttle valve going like 10-20-30-40-50% over a couple seconds, a throttle controller will tell it to open much faster depending on which mode you choose
I bought one and keep it on auto most of the time. He is not exaggerating at all, it wakes the car up, hard not to speed alot the first couple of days cause the car is just so grunty and wild all of a sudden. The PP mode or racing mode he has it in is really not fun to drive when just cruising, the pedal is SUPER sensitive. It will perform essentially the same in all performance modes including Auto but just at varying degrees. Auto mode on the controller + S mode is PERFECT. I tried economy mode at a high level just to try it and the car immediately went into limp mode so I wouldn't recommend that. Also never change the settings while driving!
Just got one and, wow, it works. Just the first mode makes a difference. The other modes seem to be too much. You have to get use to it or you will spin the tires very easy.
I think I liked this video like a year ago but never got around to buying this. Ended up doing the TCU tune instead! But I’m definitely buying this now. 👍😎
I got a 2019 A7 and this video is gonna fuck a lot of people up, he is making it sound like it's just a little plug and play tool but this is a stage 1 for that model... He is gonna void the warranty of many people... Smh.
@@17sylargino if you modifying you car period the warranty goes out the window immediately 😭 that’s should be the last of someone’s worry’s if there modifying there car 💀
Ya these work great got one on my A4 it's nice you can fine tune them to feel exactly how you want I started out in race and it would spin all four wheels off of every stop so I fine tuned it on sport feels awesome now like how it should have felt to begin with , I'm assuming all Audi's are similar but there was a big delay in my stock pedal even in dynamic , Sport on tranny and Apr tuned the Apr tune sharpened up the throttle a bit but not as much as I would have liked
I've been debating one of these to go with a stage 2+ dual pulley tune + tcu. Does it do away with the pause(breathe in and gear down)before the throttle kicks in, or just less pedal needed to trigger it?
is it working for diesel aswell? my a7 is sleepy as hell. throttile is ridiciolous slow. sometimes on rondabouts i really need quick start and guess what, pressin accelerator 2 sec and start runing. please tell me that i can install this in my a7 with 3.0tdi

@@17sylargino You absolute moron. These controllers don’t reprogram or change anything in your ECU.

So maybe next time before you speak on something and try to give advice, you could do a few minutes of reading. It’s really not hard to understand how they work.
Hi, maybe you can watch my video! Here is a video of the matching throttle I made for Audi A5 using Topdon's Phoenix Remote: th-cam.com/video/eLtwxCDhycI/w-d-xo.html , the device is very convenient to use, I recommend it to you! If you are interested, you can take a look, it may help you.
so after a month this video has been up what are your thoughts on it now? Im thinking about getting one for my b8.5 allroad after i just got an APR tune.
@@Gat_Zilla I think the mounting location is the only thing I’d be trying to figure out as I hate seeing cables but understand wanting to change modes.

The way I got the deal was to just browse listings and add stuff to my watchlists and a seller gave me an offer.
How did you get rid of the lights
@@nathanmachado9412 when you start engine, several codes will appear, but it will disappear soon after drive little bit.
Hopefully you see this what brand and is it still possible to get it at that price

Did you end up getting one?
It’s a better one called the sprint booster v3 I got it in my Audi A6 c7 and I get 3.9 0-60 in a stage 1 apr really helps especially roll races

I’m excited to try this simple mod!! 😁😁
I've got Sprint Booster they are the first to do it & it's great
Does it need to stay plugged in? Are you in the FB A5/S5/RS5 Group? If not, you should join and post this.
good stuff.....pretty much.
I've been debating one of these to go with a stage 2+ dual pulley tune + tcu. Does it do away with the pause(breathe in and gear down)before the throttle kicks in, or just less pedal needed to trigger it?
I think a bushing mount on the trans should help with that I just got one
Also what tune are you wanting to go with
Srry ment to ask what brand

Do you have a dsg tune and if NOT, do you think there would be a problem with having both or do you not need the dsg tune?
I wonder if this will help the car kick down gears during roll races
Does do really well with that
You're gaining torque
Negative.
I've just ordered mine 😀 Eittar 9s so an older version I think £32 so not too bad from a UK seller. Similar price from China also
You got a link for that please
@@scitec6166 sorry mate they only had the one, there's plenty from China just search pedal controller on eBay

Any updated links for the i8 throttle controller Audi A5?
Wow!!!
Nice video
i got the same car as you the a5 and i’ve noticed it lags when launching i will definitely have to get this when they go back in stock
My audi a5 isn’t tuned can i still run this?
Are that eork on 2.0 tdi?
did u need to uninstall your stage 2 IE tune? im interested in picking one up but dont want to uninstall the tune
Intercooler, intake, down pipe in about to go stage 2 also
No you dont need to remove your tune
What do u have for exhaust?
Will this interfere with a stage 2+ tuned Audi s4?
this probably voids the warranty right
Awesome review, you know if they make this for the B7 A4??
Yeah i was wondering same thing, i think it works
I can't find this on the internet:( I'm looking for one that will fit the 2018 sq5. Thanks!
Now is it actually faster, or does it just feel faster?
Does it add HP no , you get to use your power right away instead of the gradual build up due to the delay of the valve opening
Ive read it's basically tricking your throttle to think your got your foot down more than you actually have
@@AJlocksandlocks that is what it is
What one did you buy?

How is your turbo so loud
The ebay link is no longer working does anyone know where I could get one for my 2009 A4?
Pretty much
i texted the company that you bought it from and they said there not going into stock is there any other link where i could get one from
Will look some up

Is there one for A4 B9??
Will it work for a 2006 Audi a8?
Skip to 8:48 to hear the turbo flutter
Thanks
Is this like when you put it into S mode?
Wait does s mode do anything? This increases the throttle response so like 50% throttle feels like 100% I could be wrong
@@cacapeepeepoopoohead1632 S mode definitely makes the throttle feel more responsive and the transmission shifts more aggressively.
S mode makes the transmission hold higher revs, this electronically makes the gas pedal shorter
Will this work with a manual transmission?
Yes from what i heard it should
How’s your clutch after it.
Does this work on a Audi A1 2014 make??
Somebody asked this already, but if your running a tune will this cause any issue?
No itll help honnestly
Would this work for my 13 audi a4?
Should work yes

Does it work with 07 Audi A6?

Should work
I’d think so too. I’m gonna purchase that then. Can I return item if it does work for my car? Thanks
Will this work on an 2010 a5?
Don’t see why it wouldn’t, the connections should be exactly the same
