Dinan Throttle Booster - Any Feedback?

I could have sworn I saw someone on the forum installing some kind throttle booster - but can’t find that post.

Anyone installed a Dinan Throttle Booster (or something equivalent)?

There’s just too much travel on the pedal, which didn’t really bug me, until a recent long trip. This is regardless of how aggressive any of the other settings are.

Just looking for much higher pedal sensitivity. I have a RC GTS - not sure if that even matters.

Just to make sure you have engine set to sport plus? Because literally you only use 20% of the pedal in that mode and that's essentially WOT

Correct, Sport+.
No way WOT at 20% in my case.

Probably something to do with your piggy back then lol. For all intents and purposes a piggy back takes takes sensor values from the car and feeds different ones to the ecu so it's quite possible it's affecting the throttle response by taking your throttle position and telling the ecu that it's less than what you're actually at.

I’m inclined to agree with this. I’ll give it a shot with the RC disconnected.
