Very interesting, just what you need to save some fuel, and tyres, for every day driving.

Ideal if your running big power..

whats the point!?
I want my power there all the time, no switches,
if i don't want all the boost and all the power i just dont floor it!

 

[CupraUK]

^^ Same as that

(although I only use the car at the weekend so I can afford lots of petrol and tyres!)

Agreed.....pointless mod if you ask me !!

It does seem to me that if you can't train your right foot to apply power as and when you want it, you don't need a switch - you need more lessons.

Bit of a waste of time IMHO - but fair play to those who think they want/need one.

I also don't see the point, high gears and low revs increase my mpg all the time. Plus I don't need to mess about with a switch come play time

think its for bt boys really like when you have a map where you can switch between power levels surely this is same kind of thing i think its a good idea not just a case of keep foot off, less boost more mpg etc but i suppose its each to their own

not really - the map will still request the boost won't it - and it'll throw you into limp mode when it can't

good idea, won't work in 99% of applications

ah i see mark i'll just run along and shut up then lol

but with apr map for example if you get a cruise control you can pick your power outputs on the stalk

thats a whole lot better than a full boosting motor being 'restricted' for sure

nice idea - but must admit does seem pointless apart from the first gear bit - that makes sense - sort of

for the cost/hassle you may as well add a launch control instead ?

Surely if MPG is such an issue for some people, then they driving the wrong type of car...!!
