Throttle controller from Pedalbox.com. Very much a spur of the moment purchase, looking forward to seeing how the car feels with it installed.

Is yours Auto or Manual? Be interested to see what you think of it.

Auto, which in theory is the best match for a throttle controller. I'm not a fan from early testing. The increase in throttle sensitivity is ok on the lowest setting, but positively hazardous on the biggest, it's like stamping on the throttle. Might be ok for someone looking for a more responsive throttle, but I quite like the lazy nature of the stock setup.

It's a response time thing? I was hoping it was more of a throttle position actuator like an electric hand throttle. Though it won't work in mine as I have a cable.

It increases the sensitivity of the throttle, so if normally X mm of travel equals the throttle opening by Y amount, each of the three settings city/sport/sport+ changes it so that X=2Y, 3Y, 4Y. No actual performance improvement, but makes it feel more responsive.
I'd only consider the city setting to be usable, the other two feel dangerous to me. Sport+ feels like you've stamped on the throttle pedal and seems likely to chuck the car through the nearest hedge. Think I'll be disconnecting and selling on at a heavy discount if someone else fancies trying it out.
