Blitz Throttle Controller
It was mentioned once or twice on this forum, but in the latest D sport magazine they reviewed the Blitz Throttle Controller on an Evo X. I guess it's a simple installation with plug and play capabilities on the ECU. The only thing you have to wire yourself is the power and ground. It looks like there are four different modes to choose from depending on your driving style. The bottom line is that it doesn't increase hp, but it does vastly improve throttle response. Is anyone planning on trying this thing out? I wonder how well it works with flashes or chips?

I got something similar for my wife's 535. With throttle by wire, you can adjust throttle response electronically. She really likes it, and she never notices anything.
It basically gives you more response right off the line, especially at part throttle. With the Evo lagging off the line at part throttle due to no boost being made, it may make a big improvement. The only drawback I can think of, is all the feedback I've read indicates that it gives you a little worse fuel economy

All it does is amp up the output signal from the throttle position sensor (gas pedal) so the ecu thinks you pushed the pedal father than you did.....
Personally going from an VIII Directly to an X I did not notice the DBW affecting response.
