Default For Those with Apex Throttle Control

I was wondering how is everyone with Apexi Throttle control? How long have you had it? Have you encountered any issues? I only ask because I have read on 4GS and RCF forum with a few people having issues with them.

I haven't had any issues with it, I purchased it before I got my car and it was my first mod. For me it really wakes up the car and makes it more enjoyable to drive. I had a similiar device on my previous car for about 8 years and really like what they do. The car feels very sluggish without it. I run it in sport mode with red mode on the apexi + my tune which increases some of the response as well. Shifting time with paddles feels much quicker with that setup.

I have mine and love it. I have it since 2017 as well. I did encounter an issue for my car when it randomly stopped accelerating while driving local once. I think it may be caused from me changing through the color settings. I stick to red now and the issue never came back.
