Glad to see you're a vendor now Ahmed. FYI, your Facebook link in your profile is incorrect.


I was riding down the road just this morning, throttle steady and controller on SP6. I was just changing the setting on the fly and it was neat to feel the car react immediately to those slight changes. Then I switched it to one of the Eco settings and talk about take the life out of the car...just incredible.

On the connector? You just pull it out (Up in the picture). Same direction as the wires run. You can stick a screw driver at the base of it where it meets the black part of the housing to help get it moving.

Small screw drivers where the red arrows are. Moves in the direction the yellow one is going.

RPM was revved to 1500 RPM and held there. As I increase the numbers on Vitesse throttle controller you can see the RPM slowly start to increase as well.

I'm blown away by this device. On SP 5 I couldn't hook on first gear. I didn't even bother with SP 9. I'm sure I'll just roast the tires only on SP9 setting.



Special thanks to ptroxx for helping me with the installation.

It would be interesting to do this test with HPTuners connected to watch the "pedal" position change.

Default Vitesse Throttle Controller - Wow!

Looking for advice. I have a stock 06 A6 and want to do the following mods; Axel/cat back exhaust, (leaning towards Borla S-type II) engine/trans tune, (thinking CoW) and the Vitesse throttle control. Nothing more. I'm not looking for hp gains, just a better driving experience. My question is in what order should they be done? Thanks for any thoughts!

I can only assume that more noise and a different throttle response will satisfy your quest. Since everyone has their own opinion of what the driving experience should be, I'd suggest doing the sound first and then the Visesse controller. After you've played around with that for a while and maybe then want more, get a handheld tuner, since that gives you the option of making changes yourself whenever you want.

Thanks. And yes, just looking for a better sound, better pedal response, and better transmission response. Don't feel the need to add more hp beyond that.

Plus I can only assume CoW would try and talk you out of the Vitesse unit since he sells a similar competing product.
