It's a separate purchase through shiv.

First off thank you to @DAEMANO and @WRB5titch for the awesome lunch. It was great seeing you guys.

Also sorry @Shutter if it wasn't for the horrendous LA traffic I would of stopped by the shop today.

I just want to chime in on a few things that daemano touched on.

After driving 48 hours with the procede controller I do not think I could go back to the partial throttle switch. (And the partial throttle switch is really good too.)

Why do you ask?

Yesterday I took a mountain pass near Watsonville, ca (route 152 I believe) from the bottom of the hill to the crest I drove and activated the esc many times in the middle of curves. The traction control system never activated a single time.

I do not think this would of been possible with the old switch.

Feel:

It feels like the esc isn't there. I know this sounds bad but it isn't. The car feels like a larger engine. And this in my opinion is amazing.

Also like daemano stated I spend most of my time in the low and mid range of the rpm band. And the procede controller really fills this niche really well.

Also I think this system will really kick ass in an autox.

Batteries:

Not a single damn issue the whole way down. The grape vine was my *itch and the batteries held up like champs.

Here's what's interesting. Whenever I activated boost the system would stop after a few seconds since I achieved the speed I needed. I didn't realize how often the system wouldn't be under boost.

Install:

I plan on making a video (I know how much guys love hearing my voice) and also the written instructions for the install.

Shiv and I believe the install will take about 20-30 mins. The hardest part being removing the connections for the ecu to tap.

All in all there are three wires to tap and 1 connection to the male throttle switch connection.

Bad news:

The only issue this has is very small one. When you first start the car you must NOT touch the the accelerator pedal as this is during the initialization of the esc controller and it can make things go a wee bit hay wire.

What this means is that you have to wait 10 seconds before moving the car.

I'll be happy to answer any questions anyone may have. Also daemano and wrb5titch both got a decent feel of the system as well, so they can chime in too.

So there is splicing into any wires?
Looking forward to this
Also did you upgrade to the v2 kit?

I am waiting on a reply from Rob, as to if those of us with a version 1 can just upgrade to the lighter compressor wheel instead of going full V2 since it looks like shiv's new controller would make Robs V2 switch and controller upgrade somewhat redundant.

Shiv is going to sell entire kit with this new control or just controller itself?
I bet it's gonna be another long wait list

Yes and yes

Think of the procede controller as the switch. You need everything in the v2 upgrade for the performance enhances the v2 has.

Everything will still need to be bought from Rob. (Not the procede though as that's through shiv). And mind you not everyone needs the procede "switch".

The procede doesn't replace the controller box. The v2 is more effective in part due to the new internals in the controller box. The procede basically replaces the switch, so all of robs equipment is still being utilized.

I need to spend time with family today (since I ditched them for two days) but I will try to knock a couple videos to show what I am talking about.

I currently have the v1 kit with the 1.5 dump pack

Technically the procede will work with v1 but it would change how to wire it up.

If you need an East Coast tester I volunteer. If it can handle the Florida heat humidity and downpours, it can handle anything.

It's inside the car so no issues.

We have 40 Procedes in stock right now. I'll have online order links up tomorrow. Between MX5 and GT86 ESC kits, I suspect that they will all be sold. Price for this first batch will be $399. Next batch may be a few dollars more due to the price of some components creeping up over the last year.

To answer other questions, the Procede will work (and install) on v1 kits the same way it does on v2 kits. The only difference is that on v1 installs, you need to tap one more wire instead of unplugging the audio jack on the throttle switch and plugging it into the Procede harness.

Rob and I have talked about how the Procede fits into the grand scheme of things. If you have an original v1 kits, there may not be a compelling reason to upgrade to v2 controller and v2 compressor as the Procede offers similar improvements to max ramp-up times. This is because it starts moving the compressor earlier in the throttle travel and offers a light-duty pre-spool mode to keep the compressor moving between shifts.

The new v2 batteries, however, can be considered a very worthwhile upgrade for existing rev1 users.

Thanks man. You guys did a great job up there. Can't wait to get this installed, up and running.

So basically controller only.
Hnmmm tempting..
