Would be good if there was a blutooth program that could do this via your mobile phone. If anyone goes into production, remember me.

It's not even so much an issue of hitting the pedal sooner, but hitting it harder. My understanding is that all this thing does is adjust it so when you have your accelerator in a position that used to give you 40% throttle, it gives you something like 50%. You could do the same thing by just moving your foot further.

Both products are essentially a crutch for those who are hesitant to really gas it.

so i guess this product would prove useless to me then......

is it true that our throttle only opens 80% even with peday to the metal play.. does this or blitz helps to open it in full??

that doesn't sound likely.

and once you pass a certain rpm and throttle percentage, the car goes into open loop anyway.. ever notice that if you push the pedal almost floored, the car is just as fast as floored? that's because your car's in open loop and therefore Dumping fuel at a preset rate, ignoring o2 sensor, etc etc

There is a retail shop here in town that sells the Sprint product.
If you pay upfront for it, you can try it for 14days and return it if it doesn't work to your satisfaction.

From what I've heard and read they are incredible! They do make a Sprint Booster for the Yaris now and it's under 300 dollars. It has 3 settings. Factory setting where it cant be detected by the dealership. Green mode where it eliminates lag while increasing throttle response. Red mode greatly increases throttle responsiveness but can feel jerky during shifts. Some prefer using the automatic transmission model on a manual car because it reduces the jerky feeling. Both versions are compatible with the manual cars from what I've read. I'm getting one for my Porsche Cayman 2.9l manual and I'll be getting one for the Yaris LB automatic too. It has a great return policy too.

Update. After installing one on my Yaris first it acts like a hot hatch. I paid 289 bucks with free shipping and these things are a bargain! People who install these keep them whether they are in a Mercedes, Porsche or a Yaris. Even though there is a 30 day return policy I cant imagine anyone doing that.

They don't increase horse power but they remove the lag making access to the power you already have much quicker which translates into a very noticeable improvement in performance. I haven't found a Honda Fit that can keep up with me. I couldn't say that before installing it. If top Porsche race tuners love them then perhaps more Yaris owners would too. That's why Sprint Booster designed one for the Yaris too. Even though I love my Porsche Cayman I can't imagine ever selling the Yaris. I want to see if it will outlast me. Doing the math it just might.

Glad to hear real world experience on this. I am in the process of changing to a cable TB rather than docking with DVW at all anymore.
