Some praise and skepticism along with a request for a better written description of the product and better pictures is not knocking it. No need to get defensive over your choice to have this mod.
Where did I say that its different than a powershift in MT? Just explaining how it can be benefiting my DCT, which you said is impossible. I can only speak from experience with my DCT.

You shouldn't take a reply as being "defensive" - isn't this a discussion board?


Purple,
I understand what you are saying but keep in mind that I am no manufacturer nor did the manufacturer make any claims other than what the actual product is and that it can help with wheel hop. DEFIV didn't mention once to me that the car may feel more planted and stable as it does. Didn't even realize it was a mod that I would be feeling while driving the car throughout and not just launching. I only came to realize this when I picked up the car. The other benefits I am feeling are my own views which are shared by others who have had a chance to experience the product. DEFIV has done work on some very high HP cars and is a small independent shop.

Am I skeptical of manufacturer claims? Sure. There is plenty of BS - and not only from the smaller guys. I bought this based on learning about it from the manufacturer and speaking in depth about it to someone who has had it on their car before mine who's judgement I trust.

I guess the placebo effect has been hitting everyone who has tried it out!


This is just my own personal review. For specific questions you are best contacting Rick at like.defivfab@gmail.com. Hopefully he will be on here sometime to answer your guys questions and have an informative discussion on what I feel is a very beneficial product.
