sounds like a waste of money. A booster that attaches to your accelerator so that when you are on normal mode it makes it seem like you're on PWR mode? And in power mode it makes it into a super overly hypersensive power mode? So what happens on snow mode? You have normal mode? So basically you lost your snow mode and have a barely usable pwr mode... No thanks. Maybe for other cars this might be useful but not on ours.

Maybe if your running with 205 winter tires. I got the 245 all seasons on the back of mine in Canada, in winter. Trust me, you need the snow mode on the highway here. Even in sixth gear on the 250 you can get the back wheels to spin with virtually no pressure on the pedal.

you are right, it doesn't even snow here so ECT SNOW is useless to me.

the answer to this most probably will be yes. it will worsens a bit, thats what happened when i had SB in my other car. 99.9% sure. there are some users out there though that report maybe a 1-1.5mpg better mpg's. most people will say SB wont increase mpg, but the matter of fact quite a few people got better mileage because of this device. so i'm not really sure if it does improve or worsens the fuel economy.

It can't speed up throttle "signals" either. If the device only attaches to the throttle pedal, then all it can only amplify the signal. Basically, the nice smooth pedal response that can easily and effectively be modulated is turned into an on / off switch. That would be a reduction in true performance.
