Pedal Commander Installed

Pedal commander install. Great mod, under $300.

Eco mode saving me 20% on gas.
Sport + mode insane pedal response.
City mode reponse lag eliminated all together..

Mist have and it's a 10 minute DIY installation, plug and play. +Bluetooth connectivity to your phone

I notice from your other post that you intend to install and FVD tune.
I already run such tune on a TTS and it kind of does what your pedal commander seems to do : comfort mode becomes more sluggish (and fuel efficient), while Sport Plus becomes insane. I wonder how all of this will work together.

Will be sure to keep posted, I heard of one person with both and it is still a noticeable difference with pedal commander, just not as dramatic as stock v. just commander set up

IN my 4S Sprint booster felt like a tune, since there were none available it was the best option. I prefer Sprint boosters smaller remote.

Sprint Booster has been marketed for a long time. I have used it on four previous cars (Hyundai 5.0 liter V8) with over 150K trouble free miles, and now on my Panamera.
It is easy to install but for the difficult-to-release Porsche electrical connection. Once in place you can easily revert to "stock" if you wish.
All modern cars now have an electronic connection between the accelerator pedal and throttle body. Porsche modulates the throttle body action under the guise of "torque management." Torque Management helps preserve the transmission, but reduces throttle response, particularly in lower gears.
Sprint Booster snaps the throttle body "full open" on command. Fuel injected motors can handle a snap throttle opening without the bogging we used to see with carb motors.
Basically, Sprint Booster does not increase HP, but it does get you their quicker.

Essentially shortening PDK lifespan?
