Hi, has anyone here used one of these Novitec GP1 (or similar) accelerator 'boosters'?
Wondering if they really make a difference to responce

Any info would be great as i have a twinair and am not modding or chipping the engine, but if this plugs in and makes a difference i may go for one.

Cheers,
Andy

Doesn't the twinair have a DNA switch, so D already gives you a more responsive throttle pedal?

To quote from that page:

However the GP1 is not an engine tuning, the operation is comparable with the DNA switch (Alfa) and the Sport button (Fiat).

Twinair (105) does have the DNA switch and that is a noticeable change. But this device apparently boosts the pedal position signal so reduces lag in response, as its electronically controlled. Thats why i wondered if it was any good?

Waste of time mate.

When you want to go fast, just put your foot down further.

You will get the same effect.

Haha it goes all the way down anyway! I was just curious to know if these things did much if anything noticable!

As their own page says - same thing that putting it in D mode does essentially

Why would you want to improve the response by a nano second?

Would you be able to recognise the benefit?

What use would it be on public roads?

I bet if we did a blind test you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, "you" meant in the general term.

Thats why i was wondering if anyone has used one as i cant imagine much difference!
I'll probably leave that idea alone until i hear of someone actually using one ??

Its not a bad idea, I cant stand driving in N more, I like the softer suspension and the easy stearing, but hate soggy response. if I could have N mode with better throttle it would be amazing.
