Anyway .. if you log your throttle .. you notice that despite what they draw on the curves on the box.. your throttle actually takes a nosedive at 50% because thats when the correction stops and it reverts to stock setting .. not the smooth curve they draw out to be ..

so in SP1 .. at 70% .. it suddenly drops to 50% and becomes normal throttle onwards
SP2 at 77%
SP3 at 87%

All these settings just plummets after 50% throttle position .. which is weird ..

I have it installed .. and after the initial fun factor wore off .. I seldom turn it on now ..

My friend has it and he loves it .. so I guess its subjective and how you drive or setup your car ..

just seems stupid to me to buy something so expensive that would be done anyway if you got a tune

maybe there arent alot of people that have seen an Evo X ROM yet...did ECUFlash for the evo X get publicly released yet?...if not then my bad guys

That is what happens .. alot of problems that guys face is overboost when the Blitz suddenly plummets to 50% throttle from 70+% ..

12% to 87%
SP1
12% to 71% .. then drop to 50% and climbs back up to 87% etcetc

Whether it is worth is personal preference, this is just like saying an aftermarket intake is useless because the gains will be minimal after a tune with stock intake.
