Works. Lengthy review. Read if you're really interested.
Caution, lengthy review. First, gets rid of throttle lag. That alone was worth it. Beware, there are a lot of negative reviews and I haven't had this very long. Now the details. In sport mode my 2018 Silverado is perky like a cable throttle and the frustrating downshifting when coming to a stop is gone. My mileage went from an average of 15 mpg to 17 mpg.In racing mode the throttle was snappy but pegged out at about 40% of the pedal. The truck lunges in forward and reverse and drives like a manual shift with a tight new clutch. I drove it quite a bit to get a good feel for it. It was fun to drive but got old quickly. I drove in town and a couple of road trips to towns an hour away... 35 minutes in this mode! Fun to use now and then but no practical use... Quick out of the hole but as you know, not any faster. Will not give you the ability to race! Observed for three hours of driving and get this, my mileage remained consistently at 8 mpg per the truck computer. That's correct, 8 mpg! Reflected at the pump. Economy mode is a lot smoother than it was without the 9 Drive and my mileage went to just under 20 (19.8 mpg). Tested this in town and two road trips around 4 hours each with interstate driving at 70 mph on one trip and 78 mph on the other using cruise control (which some feels hurts mileage.) I now use economy for travel and P2-3 for normal driving. I now have a truck with a "normal" throttle and a gas saving mode for trips. Well worth the money. I see many complaints about these failing after a brief period so... We will see. For guys like me who are searching for a balance of performance and economy for a daily driver I will include my choices. I did a lot of research on throttle controllers, tuners, exhaust configurations, and what will or will not void a warranty. I chose the 9 Drive, a cold air intake (Rough Country), and an OBD box to negate the "Active Fuel Management" system. My 2018 now performs like a truck should and the cash investment was very affordable. I replaced the stock muffler (and flapper valve) with a Thrush Cherry Bomb and added a shutoff valve. Now I open the exhaust at the tail of the Cherry Bomb and advance the 9 Drive and I have a truck that runs and sounds amazing. Then I set it back to P2-3 and shut the exhaust valve,(which sends the exhaust through the stock pipe and resonator), and I can take the wife out in my "stock" truck that is smooth and quiet. Best of both worlds. She grew up, I didn't. Hope this helps, especially you Silverado owners!

Game Changer for ‘24 Tiguan
If you own a MQB Tiguan, you’ll know the transmission can be slow off the line, or when in traffic. This device made a huge difference with throttle response and was easy to install. I had considered buying more expensive alternatives to this product from some of the big players, but decided to give this a try first. I’m glad I did because it performs just as well for less money. Also, the harness included is good quality with the proper locking clips. Just make sure to follow the instructions and ensure the wiring harnesses are interlocked properly and you’ll be golden. I can’t speak to longevity of the product, but so far so good. I’ll update my review if it craps out for some reason.

This works and I am impressed!
I added this to my Jeep GC Limited X 2020 and it works, I used to have the speed booster which was almost the same price and you only had like 3 options on one button with a light that indicated what stage the pedal speed would be at.Well this one does have quite the range and it allows you to see the image on a small screen. I tested it and it works. If you want to not feel the lag and you have some few other mods to your car, this will be a great add on even if you just want to feel the control of the pedal.Update 6.16.2024, this has started to give me some faulty signs and the screen on the controller would go off or on and my engine computer would go crazy on my dash.Now it won't work and had to unplug it and take it off my pedal module in order for my car to work. Hope the seller would help with this to place this item back on a 5 star since it does work if it's working.Thanks

Good quality connectors. This thing actually exceeded my expectations by miles!
Wow. I'm a skeptic when it comes to aftermarket products that seem too good to be true. I just received this and installed it in my 17 Silverado 5.3L with eAssist, and all I can say is that it works awesome. Literally took less than a minute to install, and I left it on the factory setting of 2.6. I could tell the difference as soon as I fired her up.. doing a quick blip of the throttle, and the throttle position correlated with the engine revs.. just like a cable actuated throttle would respond. I took her for a quick spin, and the best way to describe it is that it's like driving a truck equipped with a 6.2L, in throttle response. The transmission seems to be less busy and seems to drop into the correct gear pattern as you would expect it to.. I wish I would've bought this years ago. This is the best mod I've done to this truck hands down. Words can't describe the change I experienced, you need to try it for yourself, you won't be sorry, and it's only $45... As for the longevity of the unit, time will tell, but the connectors are of equal quality as the OEM and have good positive engagement and come with the proper connector position assurance locking tab.

Great little add-on for some boost
I bought this for a 2014 VW Jetta. It works great and I love the boost off the line. Noticeable difference in sport mode. It hooks up easy and I have had no issues since install 6 mod ago. I recommend for a little bit more umphhh on take off.

It works
Completely worth the asking amount. I have had the other name brand versions which cost a ton compared to this. My only complaint is the Eco mode isn’t as effective IMO as the others.In the end I would for sure but this same unit for all my vehicles without hesitation. I suggest recalibrating the unit right out of the box.
