or you need a small amp to push it since the original output Watt is not big enough?

A little comment for the SBV2
apart from the first half tank of fuel after SBV2 installation
(must be the SBV2 attract me to kick down frequently...it just feels good you know? )
after topped up
I had been using "greenlight" mode for over half tank of fuel so far
I reset the fuel consumption km/L on dash
and so far it shows 8.4km/L which is much more then before!
i used to have ~9.4km/L or even 11km/L if i don't push it at all
i wonder it is a computer calculation error
(due to wrong/ abnormal accelerator signal)
or it is the fact that i used more fuel than before?
anyway, i gonna find it out after i finish this tank
i gonna turn it off for the next tank topped up.

Refill when 1/4 tank of fuel remain
Usually I fill up $500 or $600
Reset the Trip A counter
Take a look at the counter when the needle drops to 1/4 tank mark again
Usually I will get 11.6L/100km (8.5km/L)
It's pretty reasonable for 245 & 275 tyres setup on my car

thats not surprising, sb does the kick down for you in fact. the accelerator signal is not wrong, its been amplified.

My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres

Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
The way I measure the fuel consumption:
Refill when 1/4 tank of fuel remain
Usually I fill up $500 or $600
Reset the Trip A counter
Take a look at the counter when the needle drops to 1/4 tank mark again
Usually I will get 11.6L/100km (8.5km/L)

I dont trust the computer at all.
I amm not surprise you use more fuel with the SB.
But i am sure the enjoyment is greater than the fuel cost
