Bought and tested eBay throttle controller

I will get the box and name and take a pic of it..
it was 75$ on eBay and does exactly what the 250$ controllers do..imo it's almost too sensitive on any setting past 3x and there are 9x..for some reason my throttle plug is not that of an R53 , we will get into that later but I got it in thx to wmw sending me a pedal harness .. if you guys are looking into something like these I suggest trying this . It much cheaper and does exact same ..the green sp1 is the new throttle controller ..
😁😘😘
now I just have to figure out my launch controller/ antilag box

Well it would do antilag if it was turbo but it will allow me to do no lift shifts and launch control as well as backfire flame n pops in neutral at adjustable intervals

And that's exactly what I was worrying about. Launch control is fine, but for the love of god... forget about the flamethrower. All you're doing with that is flooding your engine with fuel. You said in your other post that you want power...running terribly rich just for show will make your engine last as long as an aftermarket coil pack.

MINI33342, what's with the negative attitude? Everyone is on this forum for love of the MINI. Get a grip. There's really no need to be ugly.

When you need a consistent time , for me and not driving a manual since I was 17 ( now 33 ) I think it would benefit me to be able to have it launch perfect every single time ..sometimes on launches I get a little throttle excited and will spin them too much..
Lol driving is far from my issue , it's consistency I need !
But your comment doesn't help anyone else out if they're looking to do this type of mod..please keep your negative comments to your self or feel free to pm me what ever you'd like if it doesn't pertain to my post . Thx 😘

Seen these actually "fry" a DME....Specifically the D-Spec brand.....these Chinese company's use inferior metals for the connectors/contacts, after time they corrode and cause all sorts of electrical issues....GL !

You seen the ellitar's fry them ??? I've done some digging and I have not read anything of that happening with this yet,though it's fairly new so it very well could happen .i Only read about it throwing a cel sometimes which didn't happen for me thankfully .
But idk if I like it or not.i .Idid alot of driving today ,city and freeway but i got so used to driving the car the way it is I don't think I like the extra throttle response it gives .. that's also why I haven't Installed the shortthrow shifter as I'm very comfortable with how it shifts as is and have no issues quick shifting it..
