Pivot Throttle Controller for Yaris

[Matt]

Any chance that we will be seeing these available for purchase through Micro Image or should I buy online. I saw them awhile back and thought hey its cheaper than Blitz. Then Garm reminded me about them last week.

What is a Pivot Throttle Controller? Is it a turbo? How much power does it provide? So many questions....

[Garm "cali yaris"]

I am in communication with them and trying to put together an order.

It's a small unit that makes your ECU think you're pushing down farther on the throttle than you really are. Makes the car feel peppier and more responsive -- it does NOT add horsepower, to be clear.

Does it affect your idle rpm's or does it only engage when you push on the gas pedal? Where does something like this get installed?

[Garm "cali yaris"]

The Blitz one literally plugs in down by your gas pedal. ALL it does is change the data that goes to the ECU. For example, you're pushing the throttle 20%, this will up that to 40% so your car feels more responsive at that input of "foot".

IF you drove 100% and 0%, meaning stomping on it and completely letting off, this device wouldn't do anything. It just changes the throttle response curve.

Garm... How does this unit compare to the Blitz TC ? Which one has a smaller body? How about the number of throttle response curve choices for each unit. Ease of installation? Price ? Availability? Happy New Year !!

It has 12 modes to work with. Garm will pricing be around what I've been seing in the $230.00 range.

[Garm "cali yaris"]

Yes, I can usually do as good as anyone else, and sometimes beat the price by something.

If you need a test dummy I volunteer. I was just going to go ahead and buy one but much rather would give you my business first.

Hey Matt... did you ever get this Pivot throttle controller? If so, what do you think of it?

I have cash for it but I was waiting for Garm to finish his talks with them so I could give him my business. I might just have to buy one on my own and try it.
