Electronic Throttle Body Control Review
«

So I just got the unit in today and I promise I help the company write a review.
To start off the Shipping was extremely fast. I received notice on Thursday May 13, 2010. I received the unit on Monday May 17, 2010.
Here what the packaging looks like:
What do we have here?
Very nice. One is the harness to the accelerator pedal and the other one is the unit itself
Unit model
Accelerator harness
the brain and the control units are in this box.
Now the unboxing
The second box
Control unit
Brain Unit
All of the instruction are written in plain and simple English. Took me 2 mins to read both of the instruction.
My first impression of the unit before testing. The packaging is very nice looks very simple and to the point. The instructions are like I said earlier very simple to read. The one thing that I wish they would include was a T-tap or some sort of connector so that I can tap into the reverse backing signal. This is very important because you really don't want this unit on its "sport mode" while you are backing up. That is a big NO NO and I would be extremely scary if you were going Wide Open Throttle (WOT) in reverse. Another thing that I would like to add was that they used really sticky double sided foam tape to hold the control unit in the box. When removed there is some residue that must be clean off. Besides those two things. The unit unboxing looks great.
I will be posting on a DIY after I get the T-taps that are required.
So please Stay tune

T taps are not a proper connection. Please either solder the wire or use a crimping butt connector with a ratcheting crimper.

Opps Sorry about that the double post. I must have hit post too many time.
I will get that racket crimp tomorrow.
I have some of these, I think i been calling them the wrong name. I keep calling them T-taps. lol

On a side note. I found that I have the stupid ass KARR alarm system. The way they wired up the car looks like shit. They used T-taps, and the wire was about to fall out of place. So I put it back and black tape it. They also cut up a lot of OEM wiring. Looks like a rat got into my car and nibble at the ignition wires and someone blacked taped it back.

Trust me, it's worth it. When dealing with your TB or any engine stuff, you're better off doing it right the first time.

yeah.. I agree. It use the OBII to get 12v. I was thinking I should move it somewhere else. Paul do you have a picture of where I can feel the line from the engine bay to the cabin? I think I know what hole you are taking about but I dont know where it comes out of. Is it behind the dash? how do I get access to it?
