Cup auto blipper
One thing I love about Porsche is that you can buy just about any racing parts direct from factory. Try that with any other car company and they will laugh at your face.
I decided to get the auto blipper to ensure proper throttle blip when I down shift to minimize tranny wear and tear. I can blip the throttle but can not guarantee it is done perfectly every single time. 2010-2011 Cup has more electronic variable that you can modify to smooth out the blip hence ECU reflash is recommended for the 7.2 Cup. Both 7.1 and 7.2 Cup use mechanical throttle.
** Update **
OK, after putting it off for several months I finally got off my lazy rear end and install the Porsche autoblipper. Initially I was dreading this DIY. My experience tells me that it will take several days of cursing and bending every which ways to get it done. I was pleasantly surprised that it only took me 2 hours and it works like a charm! .... Thank God!
OK, here is what you get when you order the Porsche autoblipper from PMNA. $1500 will give you all the sequential shift housing, cable, blipper Assembly and pulleys with instruction in German and very bad English ... I thought my English was bad
Take your doors off and free up the interior for easy access
Release the throttle cable from the gas pedal and the body of the car by first removing the pin at the end of the cable
Open the throttle cable tensioner case and release then end of the cable then remove the throttle cable
Comparison of the throttle cables. Autoblipper cable have the middle part exposed for the blipper rollers
Now disconnect the sequential shifter position sensor, release the shifter cable pin at the end and remove the shifter cable holder on top of the shifter cable
Release the reverse lever cable then loosen the 4 nuts from base of shift assembly
Now your Cup car looks great without the sequential shifter assembly ... let's install a paddle shifter on the steering wheel instead lol
Here is what the sequential shifter look like on it's own. The new shifter housing has the holes drill out to accept the autoblipper roller assembly.
OK, now let's transfer everything from the sequential shifter assembly to the new housing
The sequential shifter can double as a police baton lol
Install the new end of the shifter cable which has a pulley that roll the autoblipper assembly when you push the throttle forward which pulls on the throttle cable and blip the throttle when you down shift
Install the new sequential shifter assembly back on the car then route the shifter cable through the autoblipper assembly as instructed. It is very intuitive and if you mess it up Porsche will increase your P-car tax by 20%
Now install the roller on the end of the throttle cable and secure everything down.
You will have to adjust the ends of the new throttle cable to make sure it will give you 100% throttle when the gas pedal is fully depressed and hit the gas pedal stop. Do not over do on the travel of the throttle cable or it will create too much tension on the cable itself and sometimes damage the throttle butterfly valve on the engine. Make sure there are not too much knick on the cable since it will make the cable stick.
Now you can slide the autoblipper assembly for and aft on the sequential housing to change the throttle blip %. Most people says you really can't get enough throttle blip but I like mine around 36%-38%. The max you can get is around 40% - 42%. I will demonstrate the autoblipper adjustment and check on the Motec system by video below:
Driving impression? FANTASTIC! Now the car will blip the throttle on it's own and one less thing for me to worry about. On draw back is that it will blip the throttle regardless of car speed and also at reverse. Best to turn off the car then shift into reverse or your friends will think you are nuts blipping the throttle trying to back out. Here is a in car video demonstrating how the autoblipper function on the track. Please excuse my poor driving. I have not been on the track for almost 5 months and took it really easy ... at least that's my excuse
Cheers

I think racing parts are not available at dealers, only at PMNA

My video was really ugly as the race went on due to some electrical problems in the car. Maybe caused by a wet connector. Radio was even worse and my rev limiter was not functioning.
