Is a throttle controller actually worth it?

[@mattychambers8063]

I got the EVCX on Pedro (my 06 NS Pajero V6) and love it.

And what will this do to the engine lifespan?

[@stevekight1955]

All they do is change how quickly or slowly the throttle body responds to your pressing the accelerator pedal. It plugs in between the pedal mechanism and the throttle body. Sometimes you may want a quicker response, sometimes not. They have several settings to control that.

Are they mainly for towing? Also, will it damage the engine over time?

[@Ultimate9]

They are great for towing and also great for day-to-day driving 😊 No, our Throttle Controllers provide new points of reference for your vehicle’s throttle mapping, modifying the torque request sent to the throttle tables in your vehicle’s Engine Control Unit (ECU).

Or get this.... Just give it more throttle. Mind blown

Your factory pedal has set parameters or bounds. These parameters can't be overridden by physical input, i.e. pushing your foot harder, faster or further. It doesn't matter how fast or far you push your pedal - the factory parameters will deliver the throttle response previously defined. The only way to alter the response is to electronically override it with new throttle parameters, achieved by fitting one of our throttle controllers.

Just get a tune

[@Ultimate9]

We hear this all the time, but why not get both! Many of our customers love pairing this little mod with their tune, and let us tell you exactly why. The true benefit of our Throttle Controllers lies in their adjustability. Their adjustability lets you better control the influence & effectiveness of your other performance modifications. A perfect example of this is if your Tune/Chip/Remap may be too aggressive, like driving off-road or in wet/snowy conditions. With a Throttle Controller installed, now you can subdue your throttle response and have far more control over the power to your wheels. Plus, our flagship evcX model has a throttle lock out feature offering an additional layer of security to your car.
