Hi Folks
I came across this gadget recently which (seems to) claim to eliminate the delays between throttle demand and resultant acceleration through "continual monitoring". Has anyone had experience of these devices? and can anybody clarrify if this refers simply to a better demand / output response once the car is rolling, or will it potentially inmprove the dangerous (in my view) delay in taking off from a standing start as you might when entering a busy roundabout for example, or the long kickdown delay. I have always assumed that these delays are features of fluid drives hence are mechanical limitation of automatic gearboxes and not electrical ones. The car in question is an E320 CDI (08).
Many Thanks. Keith
