So you had the vitesse on your car? I take it you weren't too happy with it and sought the ported throttle body route?

While I never had a German car but, I do have a 2015 C7 and I was also very disappointed with the throttle lag. I live in canyon country and as a long time track racer I find that getting back on the accelerator following the apex is a critical part of handling. Before the Vitesse I always felt like I was a few fraction of a second behind getting power to the rear wheels. After installing the Vitesse, huge improvement in getting rid of that big lag. I use position 5 and that gives me a fine and timely control over the application of the power to the wheels.

I too use setting #5. It's perfect in throttle response. Not overly sensitive, just right.

Exactly. I uninstalled it recently as I found I wasn't using it at all. The biggest gripe was that, besides the fact it didn't fix the lag, once it's in a meaningful setting say 3 or higher you can feel the throttle going from 0 to 30 instantaneously and also the flip side coming off going from 30 to 0. So not only does it not do anything productive it gives you a jerky on off feeling making it seem as suddenly you don't know how to drive. Much like the throttle lag it's obvious that some people can feel this and some cannot. Others who have installed it also ended up leaving it on setting 0 [stock] for the same reason. It's a cheap fun toy for a week but then you realize it doesn't do anything and then you realize well this sucks. Your results may vary.

So did you do the ported throttle body? If so thoughts? and which one did you buy?

Great write up.

PTB is a great idea. Vitesse sucks. Doing both? I would be like a puke green Z06. Only you can decide.

timmyZ06

I will, I bought a vitesse controller, and i already have a Tony M ported TB AFe CAI and borla x pipe!! Ill let everyone know!! On my ZR1, its was awesome! For the record, even with a ported TB, i still feels a lil lag from idle.

I purchased the Vitesse about a year and a half ago for the reasons already stated. I wasn't happy with it, so I opted for the TMTB. Very nice product and certainly did the job for me. I also have the aFe CAI, Corsa X pipe. Corsa extreme exhaust and quite a few other goodies that don't really affect the power, but more for the road course.

So after installing all of the other mods, I tried the Vitesse again and it began throwing codes and the car was running like crap.....no matter which button setting I used.

You want to get rid of the lag.... buy a Tony Mamo Throttle body. You will not be disappointed!!

I just installed the Vitesse throttle controller. It really transforms the pedal feel. I'm just deciding whether I want to rip up my center console to install it. I have it in Sport 5 and don't think I'll be changing it often.

VictorBarron

I ran the wire and programmer under the snap on/off trim panel on the console, drivers side. Snapped off and on with no issues.

Maxpowers

This is how I mounted for now. Maybe I'll get the ***** to drill a hole if the gap in the trim bugs me.

I have not found the answer, but does this risk your warranty in any way?

The T-man

no
it makes no permanent changes to your ECU/ factory tune
unless you leave it installed when you take it in for warranty work, which could raise a red flag so to speak

VitesseMotorsports

That's correct, it does not leave any trace on the ECU, just like a cold air intake or any other mod, once you remove it, everything goes back to stock.
