I have the NTD version of this throttle controller and I like it. It does make a noticeable difference. Consider getting one from our YW sponsors.

It helps out with throttle lag and can also save you some gas, depending on which setting you use.
There's quite a bit more info here if you do a search.

installation = easy
settings = from -50% of normal throttle or +70% of normal throttle
cheapest? NTD throttle contoller same as I-Drive (ebay), Pivot. Requires harness adapter for Yaris.

the Sprint Booster is the best plug 'n play one for the money. The Blitz one has a nicer display but it's more expensive.

Here is the thread on it, echo has one on his car:

I picked up the Sprint Booster(Bought it locally as I needed it quick at the time)
Customs always slows things down.
Anyway.. it has two settings, or off.
Takes a bit getting used to considering what you had before hand!
Well Worth the 300 CDN I paid

Henry.....I have a Blitz. I have had no issues with it and it has been in for over 2 years now. It would be hard to explain the adv. or disadv. other than the to me the eco setting is where the car should have been as far as feel. I know it does'nt make much sense other than the car feels better at Eco vs stock without a controller. I usually run my car on Eco or SP1. SP1 will get you up in speed pretty quick and you will find youself lifting on the pedal, kinda of a surgy type feeling. If I need speed I'll hit SP1 then drop it down to Eco. I hope that made some kind of sense to you. Anyway now that I have it I wouldn't really want to drive the car without it. Oh, mileage....well last long trip 41.2 with Eco setting. No comparison run made with the unit off.

You can change it at any time and at any RPM.

You can, although it's not extremely easy to do while driving, since one needs to look at the little screen while you change modes using two tiny buttons.

I sometimes do it blindly, but it's easy to get the setting wrong.
