When I tried to heel-toe in my usual way, I lifted off the brake slightly, which trail braked through my line and upset everything. The instructor finally said "Just let the transmission do it for you and focus on your braking." That made a huge difference. Now I am a convert.

I have used one of these for over a year. Turn it off on the street, on for the track... It's brilliant. Glad to see it getting more attention in Porsche community.

I read in another forum that some people have had trouble with missed blips and/or inconsistent behavior.
I assume that that is most likely a result of poor installation with the brake/throttle/clutch wire connections?
Chris - have you had any issues like that? Could be scary having a missed blip downshifting at speed on track.
Cool product.. if reliability pans out I am also in for the group buy.

I have not had any issues once the settings were dialed in, and even then it wasn't not working, it was just blipping too early or too late. It took a couple trips braking on a freeway off ramp to get things dialed in.. Without knowing all the details of the scenarios you mention, I would say user and/or install error. Everything that is sent with the kit is very high quality.
Well, there was the time I forgot to turn it on, but that was on me You can set it up to come on with the car, but I have mine wired in so I have to manually activate it.

^^^just because you have something for sale doesn't mean you're a seller.

True.. but there are many resellers of this product, and many ppl on this forum.
Considering the interest this thread has attracted in less than a week.. I still find it surprising that it is only now appearing here having been out for several years.
