Great products that work. I have absolutely no regrets with my throttle body and Bluetooth throttle controller from Soler.

I currently have the TC and I love it. It changed the car completely. I’ve been debating on if I should also get the TB. How much more of a difference will it make compared to the TC?

Thanks for the kind words—we’re glad you’re loving the controller!

Throttle Body (TB): Real Airflow, Real Power
Our upgraded throttle body physically improves the airflow into your engine by altering the internal geometry. The result is a smoother, more predictable power curve and enhanced performance at every throttle position—from idle to wide open throttle (WOT). This upgrade:
  • Delivers crisp throttle response
  • Reduces lag and hesitation
  • Improves daily driving feel
You’ll especially notice the gains during normal driving, low-speed acceleration, and quick bursts of throttle.

Throttle Controller (TC): Fine-Tuned Responsiveness
The throttle controller enhances throttle response electronically. It allows you to adjust how quickly the throttle blade reacts to your pedal input—eliminating sluggish feel and improving driving dynamics.

However, it doesn’t add airflow or horsepower. It still works within the physical limitations of the throttle body you have installed. So, if you’re running the OEM TB, you may still experience some minor hesitation under certain conditions.

The Power of Pairing Both
Individually, both upgrades offer solid performance improvements. But when used together, they complement each other perfectly—giving you real power and precision control.

In short, the OEM throttle body is only one part of the problem. Our TB + TC combo helps eliminate both the physical and electronic limitations, unlocking your vehicle’s full potential.

As always, your purchase is risk-free. If you're not satisfied, you can return the throttle body within our policy window for a full refund. (30 days)

Also, free to use discount code TIFF5OFF for 5% off your order.

I just installed the throttle body today and it's really great. The car is likely still learning since I haven't driven it far, yet. But I can already tell a difference in throttle response. Excellent product!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad to hear the throttle body is already making a noticeable difference. You're right—the car will continue to adapt a bit as you put more miles on it, but it's awesome that you're already feeling the improved response. Enjoy the drive, and let me know if you need anything!

I just installed my controller today. I currently have the whole module and body-side harness tucked up under the carpet in a way that they cannot be seen, as I bought the controller both as a security measure and to assist with heel-toe downshifts. However, when I went to adjust their placement after my initial test drive, mostly due to poor placement on my part causing the carpet to bow and interfere with my foot, I noticed that the firewall and transmission tunnel get very hot under the carpet (it is also 90 degrees here today). My car has a fully stock exhaust; do I need to be concerned with the heat from the firewall or transmission tunnel damaging the controller or wiring?

Thank you.

Great question — and awesome install setup! That tucked-away placement is perfect for stealth and functionality.

No need to worry about heat — the controller wiring is rated to withstand up to 135°C (275°F), so even with the transmission tunnel and firewall getting hot (especially on a 90° day), everything will be perfectly safe and within spec. You’re good to go!

Let us know if you have any other questions — and enjoy the improved driving experience!

Hi Fred,

Great question! I checked in with Mike to get the top 3 most significant improvements we've made on our current 91mm throttle body compared to earlier versions like the one from 2019. Here’s what he shared:
  1. Shaftless Front Blade Design – If you compare yours to the product photos on our website, you’ll see the front of the blade is now shaftless, which opens up more space for air to flow. This design allows for a larger WOT (wide open throttle) flow area.
  2. Dimpled Shaft Trailing Edge – The back of the shaft now features a dimpled trailing edge that helps reduce turbulence and improve airflow smoothness.
  3. Smoother and More Refined Porting – Our latest porting work has been extensively refined, allowing for greater and smoother airflow, contributing to better throttle response and efficiency.
Here are the current top features of our latest throttle body version:
  • Optimized Active Contours with Sonic Flow Nozzles
  • Porting Taper and Upstream Bore with Velocity Stack
  • Greater Discharge Coefficient at Plate/Blade Interface
  • 16 Ra Microinch, Diamond-Polished Surface Finish
  • Shaftless High-Pressure Side of the Blade (91mm Effective Bore)
  • Self-Cleaning Throat/Flow Gap
  • Dome and Thread-Locked Screws
  • Dimpled Shaft Trailing Edge
