PYSpeed.com | *Feeler* Velocity Adjustable Throttle Booster System

We at PYSpeed are wondering the interests for the Velocity Adjustable Throttle Booster System for 1Addicts owners. If enough people are interested, a group buy can happen. It has been the hottest products in Asia last couple months seen as thread followed. http://www.bmw-sg.com/forums/uuc-par...e-booster.html

Description as follow:
-------------------------
VELOCITY brings forward the sheer excitement of driving, by improving and optimizing the throttle response, enabling up to 30% of improved throttle response. Installation of Velocity is simply by ‘plug and play’ to the throttle pedal connection, without any modifications to the car. Upon installation, the unit is powered up by the ‘SPORT’ button. Velocity offers 4 modes of selection and users can vary the throttle response simply by selecting the “+” or “-” button on the control pedal.

Velocity utilizes proprietary, intelligent and self-learning feedback algorithm that monitors the car’s sensors and optimizing the injection mapping of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The unit then automatically calculates the fuel injection amount and timings required, according to the various power modes and altering the car’s response tremendously according to the desired selection.

Another unique feature (first of its kind) of Velocity is that it allows users to switch between “Original Profile” or “Sports Profile”. The unit has a built in function that allows users to switch off the sports profile if they want to drive the car in normal mode, or switch on if they want to have increased throttle response, simply by the touch of a button!

Technical Specs
- 4 power profiles selection (MIN, MEDIUM, MAX1, MAX2), adjustable according to different driving needs.
- Optimized throttle characteristics to enable immediate throttle response to the engine in real-time, resulting in faster response.
- Simple ‘plug-and-play’, with no modifications.
- Slim and compact design.
- Unit can be powered off during driving, and powered up as needed, anytime.
- Intelligent, self learning feedback algorithm to enable optimized driving throughout the power band.

DS mode for AT?
Yes, but with much more throttle response effect.

Disadvantage?
Depends on user application and the way the person drives. If he is light footed than I am sure it won't be saving much MPG.

Real Proven Item?
Yes. Check out this thread in BMW Singapore how hot it is selling oversea.
http://www.bmw-sg.com/forums/uuc-par...e-booster.html


How much is it?
It's selling for $470 in Asia. If with enough interest, we will start a Group Buy soon on this.

It gets great reviews...apparently setting 4 is significantly better than sprintbooster. $470 is pretty expensive though esp compared to a JB3 which actually gives power.

I believe this is the same thing as the Blitz throttle adjuster. It just makes the curve of your throttle input more or less steep. So you go from 1% to 90% just like that, get it? People seem to like it! I don't know if i need to spend that kind of money on it. Most people that test it are convinced otherwise tho.

If it were more like $200 or less, than I'd be more interested in buying. For that money, you may as well go for jb+ or jb3. Keep us updated on this however.
