Improve throttle response
Hey everyone,
recently I’ve installed LT header with catted x pipe and since then my throttle response has a little bit of lag.
My car has been tuned by the engine tune (not a gear tune).
Is there any way to improve it?
Thanks

If you had the car tuned your tuner should easily be able to correct the laggy throttle without buying throttle controller. A ported TB would be a good addition and then have your tuner make things crisp.

A ported throttle body will help.

With the proper calibration you don't need any kind of throttle controller.

I'd go Soler TB way before opening the tragic can of worms a big ported TB will cause you..
