I had a ptb from someone else. When I talked with Mike he suggested I buy a new body from him if I didn't want to port my factory one. That way if I didn't like his i could keep the other one. It looked like zero risk to me so I ordered one last Friday and installed it Monday. I've already sold my other ptb. It is absolutely worth the money. If you don't like it Mike will take it back and give you a full refund. If you already have a ptb from someone else try this one. You'll end up selling the other one. It really is that good. I have a 19 z06 and it's well worth it if you are actually going to drive your car.
Exactly, for those who feel just like trying it, think of your payment as a deposit. You have one month to decide whether you want to keep it. No problem from our end.

I'm thinking of the TB for the wife's M7 2015 car and real interested in trying the TC for my '19 A8 GS when drag racing as it seems like it would help zeroing in leaving off the 2nd or 3rd bulb as stock I know my C5 was all over the board trying to cut consistent lights, I have been racing 20+ years with cable controlled cars and was consistent there but the drive by wire is a different animal.
Having both at your place will allow you to try them together or separately on any of your 2 cars. Please do so, I think you might find the TB works better for racing and the TC for customizing the pedal feel on your wife's M7. The combination would be the ultimate solution for both but, you should see a good improvement regardless and go from there.
The TB's for M7's and A8's are slightly different, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

The TC is the same for all C7's.
Thanks,

Funny enough, I started to wonder about my clutch skills but have read a few posts now that make me realize there is a hesitation. This was reinforced when I went and drove my SS recently and realized the throttle is very crisp and instant. My 15 year old even commented that I was much smoother on the clutch with my SS and C6. With that, I have ordered just the TC for now. I realize this should be a package deal but step at a time for me. Not racing or tracking Just need the throttle to react when I put my foot to it. If the TC does not do it, I will get the PTB. No arguments it makes a difference based on reviews. Just swore I would not throw money at this car and enjoy it for what it currently its and not what it could be. I am curious to hear an honest review of someone that uses the TC first and then a PTB.

Iam not going to say you made the wrong choice but i will say this.
You will prolly end up buying his TB because from what Iam hearing you say is EXACTLY what his TB will remedy not the TC so much, i understand the TC is inexpensive and easy to justify ( its the icing on the cake ) but honestly his TB is where it all starts, i have both and frankly you couldn't pay me to get rid of his TB. his TC is fun but i don't find it as necessary as the TB ....A soler TB really transforms a M7 C7 into what it should have been from the factory.

Throttle Controller makes the computer think you are pressing down further on the gas pedal than you are really doing,

Dang you guys. You are costing me money. Okay, okay, I will get the PTB. Geez, no peer pressure here. 
I am a simple mechanic that does my own work when able. I have been trained and certified by YouTube. Taking my time, how long does it usually take to change a TB on a Stingray.

Thanks for considering us, Corpsvette. This one is very easy 15 min average, YouTube certified? Take it down to 5-10 min. ;-)

Fwiw guys I spent all day today at VIR. I have the tb and tc. The car is completely different off idle. No hesitation and I can start off from a stop just like there's a cable or bellcrank to the clutch. The controller has to be set differently between tour and track. I have the tour setting at p2.5 and track at p1.2 or 3. I may play with it some more but on track there aren't a lot of starts and stops so I didn't spend a lot of time adjusting. It would be great to know which settings are more linear in Tour. sport. and track. It's easy to switch from one to the other by pressing the mode button on the far left. The combo is the ticket. It's a bargain for what it does.

On my '19 Stingray I used
- 10 mm socket for the four bolts securing the TB
- 8 mm socket or large flat blade screwdriver for the clamp holding the air duct on to the TB intake.
- Short wobbly extension to make removing the lower bolts easier. The driver side lower bolt is behind the control module and requires tactile locating. The passenger side lower bolt is more accessible but the wobbly extension makes accessing it easier.

I love my LT4 Soler MTB so much that I am "upgrading" to a Soler LT5 MTB to compliment my current round of mods.

Okay, I may have been prejudge-mental about not speaking to you guys ever again but received my PTB yesterday, of all things, a Sunday before I got the TC today, Monday. So, everyone was correct, took me all of 15 minutes to install the PTB. WOW, you guys were right. The throttle response is now instant. Very happy. I will install the TC later this week, probably next weekend but think the PTB was all I needed. Thanks for all the advice.
Thanks Mike from Soler for great service, fast delivery and good advice. Just hope you are an AU fan and not one of Tuscaloosa dudes.

Told yeah.
I dont find a TC necessary but i do like the soler piece.....I like a longer pedal and his is much more adjustable than others.
If every guy who buys a TC only could try out a ported throttle body from soler FIRST.....WAY less TC's would be sold.

Is there any issues with running a range afm device and the throttle controller at the same time? I was reading this could cause issues.

With our product, we have had only one instance, that was a Camaro 6th Gen 3.6L V6 having issues with AFM disabler and our TC. Disconnected the AFM disabler and it worked fine. If you use a TC setting with high enough sensitivity AFM will hardly activate as it depends on throttle rate. We are sure there must be many others using AFM disablers w/ our TC, but we have not heard of any issues. I wish we could give you a more conclusive answer but that is all we know so far. You have zero risks when you buy from us, whichever the outcome. Thx.
