Finally Arrived
AFREaKA, if I understand you correctly, is it your opinion the piggy back smoothes out the initial lag and decreases, or eliminates, the need to press the accelerator harder to get the car up on plane? I'm not talking about a slap your head back hole- shot launch, just normal acceleration with authority as you would expect if it were a conventional automatic trans. thanks.

Ronzuki,
Yep! That's a great way to put it. Also, in my opinion, the CVT also seems to pull better in the higher RPMs and definitely seems to pull better in "6th gear" with the Piggyback ECU installed. Now, granted, I say all of this assuming that you all use either the paddle shifters or the stick in "manual mode" like I do. I can't verify if it feels as good by just putting it in "drive" cause honestly, I don't drive it like an automatic. But when using it like a manual, yes, my statements of the before and after performance is accurate.
If you didn't get a chance to read my post in the "Performance" section, please take a read if youre interested. There I attempt to explain the before and after effects of installing both the RRM Short Ram Intake as well as the RRM Piggyback ECU.
Additonally, the installs were easy, RRM has videos up on YouTube showing how to do it. The only difficulty I ran into during the install was I had to shorten the supplied elbow hose because the way the mounting bracket on the SRI was angled, I wouldn't have been able to align the mounting bracket hole to the hole on the engine that you use to mount the SRI to.
Hope this helps,
