Snagged one for $43! Totally worth! At first it may seem to not work, but try unplugging from the gas pedal and replugging. Just be sure not to disconnect the control pad from the cable box while the engine is running/only unplug it only if you are removing the mod entirely. You will get temporary error codes about the parking brake and stability control malfunctioning. (Cause the computer sees the throttle signal getting disrupted?)
The way I got the deal was to just browse listings and add stuff to my watchlists and a seller gave me an offer.
How did you get rid of the lights
@@natelax45 when you start engine, several codes will appear, but it will disappear soon after drive little bit.
Hopefully you see this what brand and is it still possible to get it at that price
i got a intake malfunction but you need more power wen that hapens odb2 powers it wen that hapens upgrade cost nothing they sent me free of charge
It’s funny how many people are so misinformed about how throttle controllers work. It doesn’t trick the throttle to think the pedal is further down than it actually is, it makes the throttle valve open faster than stock. Most stock drive by wire set ups make the throttle open slowly and that’s where the response lag happens. This thing makes it so the throttle responds quicker to the pedal input. So instead of you putting your foot down 50% and then the throttle valve going like 10-20-30-40-50% over a couple seconds, a throttle controller will tell it to open much faster depending on which mode you choose
Well said bro
So i’m one of the people that are misinformed and u made me want to spend 60$😂
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!
Do you keep it on Auto?
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. 👍😎
Did you end up getting one?
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.
Any chance can you share the link to the one you picked up? I want one lol
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 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 💀
@@17sylargino it's not going to throw a TD1 code to void a warranty nor does it alter the oem ecu.
I’m excited to try this simple mod!! 😁😁
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 got Sprint Booster they are the first to do it & it's great
Nice video
You're gaining torque
Negative.
good stuff.....pretty much.
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
⚠️ATTENTION⚠️
Call your Audi dealership before plugging this into your car. OP may not realize this but if his warranty was still active when he posted this video, then his powertrain warranty is now voided, and removing the device will not help hide that ECU modification done by the device. DO NOT PLUG THIS INTO YOUR AUDI. This is a Stage 1 upgrade. It will void the powertrain warranty.
@@17sylargino
You absolute moron. These controllers don’t reprogram or change anything in your ECU. If you unplug them before taking your vehicle to the shop they can not in any way tell it was hooked up. I have one on my new truck and took it in for something and my friend was the mechanic that did the warranty work and he told me he specifically scanned for codes and evidence that something was modded and he said there was nothing. 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.
Does it need to stay plugged in? Are you in the FB A5/S5/RS5 Group? If not, you should join and post this.
I wonder if this will help the car kick down gears during roll races
Does do really well with that
My audi a5 isn’t tuned can i still run this?
nice video 🙈

Skip to 8:48 to hear the turbo flutter
Thanks
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
Wow!!!
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
What do u have for exhaust?
Any updated links for the i8 throttle controller Audi A5?
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?
jes works i had one en chipp killer end cheap horspower
Will this interfere with a stage 2+ tuned Audi s4?
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
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
Are that eork on 2.0 tdi?
this probably voids the warranty right
I can't find this on the internet:( I'm looking for one that will fit the 2018 sq5. Thanks!
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
Found one on aliexpress, seems same brand but different model, does the same thing
www.aliexpress.com/item/32824960370.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.779f2283NANkhc&algo_pvid=9b76fc07-bb9b-4a1e-bb69-7128ea943165&algo_expid=9b76fc07-bb9b-4a1e-bb69-7128ea943165-1&btsid=0b0a557016106273061193260e158a&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
Awesome review, you know if they make this for the B7 A4??
Yeah i was wondering same thing, i think it works
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.
I highly recommend i run it with my tune and it helps wake it up alot
@@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.
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?
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
What one did you buy?
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.
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??
Does it work with 07 Audi A6?
Would this work for my 13 audi a4?
Should work yes

@@17sylargino It's not a tune, it opens the throttle body, & improves the pedal feel of the vehicle & in no way connects to the ECU..
@@17sylargino lol what?? It doesn't modify your ECU, it only tricks it by sending different signals from the pedal. You could easily remove it and Audi would be none the wise.
Pretty much
Somebody asked this already, but if your running a tune will this cause any issue?
No itll help honnestly
Does this work for the A4? B8.5
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
Pre-much
Will this work on an 2010 a5?
Don’t see why it wouldn’t, the connections should be exactly the same
Will it work for a 2006 Audi a8?
