Hope dealer isn't an ass about this ...
If you can get to an Autozone they'll read the code for you. Be interested to see if it's a throttle related code maybe P2138 ?

I placed my order Friday 2/23 @ 8:48 AM. I have yet to receive any email other than the Paypal payment confirmation and I just called 3 times, all going to voicemail. Did you guys get a confirmation email from Vitesse with tracking information?

No. I sent a PM through here and got my tracking number.

I sent an e-mail to the customer service website after I bought it and Ahmed got back to me right away. He answered all my questions and after it shipped, I asked for tracking info and he sent it right away. It got here 2 days later, it's installed, and it works perfectly. And I freekin' love it!!!

It will work just fine, as it does not have anything to do with the engine PCM.

EDIT: One guy mentions a hit to his MPGs. Any of you guys here notice that as well? It makes sense that would happen, but I'm just curious about your numbers.
On SP4 i noticed a increase in mileage, switched to SP5 and mileage went down.

Yeah, gas mileage does take a hit unfortunately. But at the end of the day, I'm a car enthusiast. I give zero f***s LOL

Take it SP9 and blip it once, you'll love it. You can still control it on SP9, it just takes some pedal finesse. The beauty of it is: if you don't want the finesse or need it, the car is unbridled. Or maybe unleashed is a better word. All I know is: this snow can't melt fast enough...

This has been done, and posted somewhere here on the forum; don't remember who by or in what thread (may even have been this one).

Results were a slight improvement in 0-60 time, no difference in the 1/4 mile.

There's too many VTC threads. Someone needs to create a sticky.
