I understand now, the guys running this project are engineers. There's a bit of puristic and egotistical aspect to this project. I mean that in a respectful way. Its about the art. I get the perfectionist personality. Robbfts is a crazy mad scientist and Fenton is his frontman. Its like Willy Wonka or The wizard of oz. I kinda admire the snobby aura. Did u know thay Chanel bags are hand made one at a time, in a small town in France called Lesage? Hand made..
I personally like telling the story to friends and "fans". I call it Electric Forced Induction. Everyone loves the story.
Initially I wasn't impressed but over time got to enjoy the way it pulls. It feels a bit like VTEC. But here, you get to control when it kicks in
The main difference i noticed after the install is that I am much faster now than i used to be. The car is quick and That's what I particularly enjoy :o Defeat list includes Fiesta ST, Challenger, G37, Camaro, 328, GTI, E320, Civic SI, a boosted K20 civic, and half a dozen HEMI powered pickup trucks (I live out in the countryside). It's a nice feeling to be among the fastest on the road.

Hard to believe you beat some of those cars having owned an ESC myself for a year. Its not that fast. 13.8 @ 101 I ran. Quick sure but nothing super crazy. Basically WRX power. The slight delay is like vtec but unlike vtec the top end falls off terrible. 3-6k rpm is the sweet spot.
