If anyone wants to 'test' one of these modules for $25 shipped (paypal) send me a PM by the end of this weekend.
The first five payments will be honored, if more then 5 people send payment.
As of now, they haven't been tested to work on the AT trannys, but I have brake boosted with success on my '04 6mt.

Since S/Cers are RPM based the 'brake boost' would't be beneficial. If you have an at (like you do) then you 'may' be able to 'brake torque' launch, IF you can get traction.

Maybe Ron would like one of these on his TT Z.
My 6mt coupe is the vortec car though. The 5at sedan is the NA beater.

There are only four wires on it total.

Hopefully it will work with a 5AT, money has been sent for a module.
I'll post before and after vids when I get it installed after I get my car back in a week or two.

I could take some pictures, but I would highly recomend verifying all wiring with a voltage meter. There are over 100 wires at the ECU, and multiple wires of the same color. The only way to be 100% sure that you have the right wire is to electronically verify it. I'll try to snap some pictures tonight.

Here are a couple pictures of the wire that was cut. The wire in my '04 G35 coupe is pink/blue. Ignore the extra green and blue wires, they are for VVT, not this project.
Here is a quick movie of how the ECU reads the brake switch. Basically, there are two brake switches (1 and 2). 1 is on the left, and is used for Cruise Control and brake lights. 2 is on the right of the screen and is used by the ECU to prevent throttle and braking at the same time. You can see when I push the pedal both of them switch to 'depressed', but about 1 second later the right signal goes back to 'normal'. This movie, admittingly, isn't very impressive and is a somewhat big file, so unless you really want to see how it works I wouldn't waste the time downloading it!
