Anyone running one of these on there turbo?

I have a friend who has one and it was impressive the improvement in throttle response in his Audi R8. Curious if anyone has been using one on their car and any issues or complaints? thanks

I had one on my Audi and removed it after one week as I felt it greatly reduced the throttle travel in the car (e.g. reduced the ability to feed in the throttle in small increments). Better for the street / I woudn't use it on the track IMHO

I had the opposite effect. Very sensitive pedal for street- jumpy. On track kinda liked the quicker throttle response. This was on my old 6. Kinda of a pain to install if drivers seat not taken off- have to be abit of a contorsionist. Mike

I believe most tunes out there can change this sensitivity as well....
