What are Throttle Controllers?

Windbooster Throttle Controllers are a product that helps alleviate the lag associated with electronic drive-by-wire throttle technology in modern vehicles. They also allow users to tune their cars throttle ramp-up response to better suit their driving style and driving conditions.

And, it is as simple as Plug & Play!

How do they work?

Our controllers operate by inputting new reference, mapping, points into your cars throttle pedal assembly - which is also where they are plugged into or installed.

Once installed, the screen will display our data as modes & values and, from there, lets you quickly and easily modify your throttle ramp-up response for either a sharper or damper reaction - depending on what you select!

The 4S Throttle Controller.

You asked, and we listened.

Introducing; our Windbooster 4S throttle controller!

The 4S throttle controller takes the 3S and instils our unique throttle-lockout that was once only available to our Bluetooth controller, the GT - giving your car added safety.

Much like the 3S, the 4S runs our state-of-the-art componentry, latest throttle pedal mapping data, and its own unique screen layout but now also houses our throttle-lockout feature. To take away from the techy business of our GT controller and offer a more simplistic feel.

The Throttle-lockout locks out your throttle pedal when activated to prevent any input or feedback from the pedal and is passcode guarded!

By locking out your throttle pedal, nobody can merely grab your keys and drive away. Instead, they will now have to enter your passcode into your removable screen to unlock the pedal - when the lockout is enabled, you can remove the screen for extra precaution.

Features:

• Six (6) modes to choose from – Normal, Economy, Sport, Sport+, Race & i-Auto.
• Ten (10) levels of throttle adjustability in Economy, Sport, Sport+ and Race.
• Throttle-lockout – passcode protected.
• Light sensitive auto-dimming OLED display.
• Blacked-out front panel.
• Lightning® connector for easy screen removal.
• Brushed steel housing with aluminium mode and setting buttons.

Are you wondering what our modes do? Let’s take a look!

Modes.

 i-Auto

This mode is an intelligent mode that recognises or identifies your pedals input on the fly, automatically adjusting itself for the best-increased response with the data it receives - bypassing the need to choose different modes manually.

It truly is set and forget!

Normal

This mode is non-adjustable and reverts the vehicle to its factory-set response, lame and tame.

Normal mode is handy when having your vehicle is to be serviced; to help mechanics with a more natural feel of your car.

Economy

We have all heard the phrase slow & steady wins the race, and economy mode does precisely that.

Economy mode dampens your throttle to gain you more control over your cars throttles ramp-up response, reducing wheelspin & traction-loss and increases your manoeuvrability & control.

Examples of where a dampened response is excellent are wet weather driving conditions, technical driving, and reversing trailers, caravans or boats - not to mention the potential it has also shown around fuel-efficiency.

The economy mode also has ten levels of sensitivity to filter through, so you can find a range that suits your driving style and driving conditions.

Sport, Sport+ and Race

Forget about intelligence and going slower. Let’s talk about performance - where the rubber meets the road!

Sport, Sport+ and Race mode help you get more from your car whilst still working within factory parameters - for added peace of mind. These modes achieve this by sharpening your throttle pedal parameters to introduce an enhanced throttle curve - resulting in a sharper and more reactive throttle response the higher the setting.

They each also have ten levels of sensitivity, much like the Economy mode, so that you can find a setting that best reflects your driving.

Sport mode is excellent for daily driving or perhaps driving around town. Removing throttle input lag and only slightly increasing throttle response throughout its ten levels of sensitivity.

Sport+ mode introduces a medium where all you needed was just that little sharper reaction for taking off or overtaking. We personally enjoy this mode when going for a more spirited drive or perhaps even a stroll through the mountains - for those winding roads!

 Disclaimer: Buckle up!

Race mode has nothing besides performance driving and track or race events in mind. P3 will produce the fastest and most reactive throttle response to help get you into your cars optimal power ranger as fast as possible.

If you are not smiling already, you will now.
