The controller has 7 Setting Modes: (3 ECO Modes, 2 Boost Modes, Lo-Throttle Mode, and Hi-Throttle Mode).
I have spent significant time with the Eco modes and I now drive around with the most extreme Eco modes (for stop and go traffic) and the middle Eco modes for normal driving. Freeway merging or passing I drive around in the High-boost mode and it completely opens up the power of the car and removes any lag in throttle.
( Click to show/hide )
I removed the Fuse panel to determine what kind of installation I could work with and realized I had a good amount of space to mount the box
First thing I did was uninstall the OEM throttle and placed the APEXi cable between the two connections
As you can see there was quite a bit of extra wiring that I tucked behind the carpet to hide
I was then able to place the control box on an empty section of the panel (affixed with some double-sided tape)
I then focused my attention on how I was going to mount the controller switch, that is when I realized the fuse cover has a hole at the bottom which the cabling could run through
Then I remounted the Fuse cover and checked all my clearances
Success!
Matches the interior well
Final setup, works really well and is pretty subtle!

you shouldnt be lagging after that install...
