It is real easy to install. Unbolt the accelerator pedal (2 bolts under a cover), plug the connector in between the harness and the pedal, make connections to Blitz controller box, place Blitz display box, hide wires done.
Ohh, and reinstall accelerator pedal if you feel the need to. j/k
You DO need to.

Just out of curiosity, do you have one yet?

quick question since no one ever answers my questions lol
as i drove around today, i noticed when your in a certain gear, accelerating.. as soon as you press the clutch to shift.. the throttle stays still for about a second... so if you try to shift quick you get like a double jerk from the clutch catching and the rpms lagging instead of coming down.
does the controller get rid of that lag? basically when you rev up, takes a little while for it to come down as if we had a heavy *** flywheel. can anyone with the controller please answer me that? thaaaanks!

This is a Vendor thread guys. Leave the bashing and nonsense out of this thread. If you have a complaint on this product then open another thread. That also goes for questions on this product as well. Small questions are not an issue but other questions should be in a Blitz thread in the Engine Section.

I've done some research on this module and this is what I've found - it's more of a Accelerator Pedal Recalibrator then a Throttle Body Controller.
It plugs in inline with the APP (accelerator pedal position) and modifies the voltage going to the ECU. Depending on how much it is skewing the votage it CAN cause the throttle body to open up further.
However, I'm not certain how they are able to open the throttle body 100% like I read somewhere - the stock ECU limits this and no matter what voltage is coming out of the pedal it can't make the ECU open the TB past its max limit.
As the car approaches redline, if the ECU wants to close the throttle body it will, as this module only affects the input voltage going to the ECU, it doesn't affect the control voltage going to the actual throttle body.
It sounds like it will definately make the car peppier off the line!

I've had mine sitting onthe counter for 2 over 2 weeks becasue i didn't have the time or desire to jump throught the hoops in the instructions that came with it. For those who have it installed, where did you mount the interface?

I read the install instructions and it gave a completely different procedure that was much more difficult involving making the connection under the hood (in an impossible to access location) and running the cable through a firewall grommet near the brake master cylinder, etc. That was all BS???

Hurry up and install it J, i want to know what you think

as stated it can only change the definition of the pedal to amplify 50% pedal is really 100% throttle.. but since the signal still goes to the ecu and then the TB, i dont see how this will stop the ecu from doing whatever it wants no matter what the pedal definition is.
seems the only way of definitely removing the ecu's control over the TB is with a reflash, as tadashi had stated that he can remove that or leave it once he flashes an ecu.. seeing how this lil gizmo is $350 and a reflash is $550 ..i think the extra $200 is well spent on some hp gains from the reflash as well as the TB benefits.
sorry for rambling.

this is pretty much the same hunch i had.... now if the controller somehow bipassed the plug coming from the ecu to the controller and from the controller directly to the throttble body then we have something different where its overriding whatever the ecu is trying to do, but i dont see how this is possible when it plugs into the pedal plug itself.

Don't quote me on this, When i talked to Tadashi before he left for vacation, He can leave the trottle response alone on his flash so use can use the Blitz TC so you can control the trottle response instead of permanent change he dose on his flash. It's up to the customer. For the people that don't want to get the flash for warranty purposes, this would be a good alternative don't you think? My 2 cents
I'll talk to him some more when he gets back on Sept 22.
