it was quite the experience. i found an s4 na pinout but didnt know which pins were which. then i found a list that listed what the pins were controlling or what they did. then i found the proper way to install the bee*r on an s4 t2. figured out what too hook it into on the t2 and basically transfered it to my na pinout. if this makes any sense. ive heard to wire it into the cas. i tried it numerous different way and cut the appropriate wire on the bee*r itself. nothing. while testing it i would rev to the preset limit point and the little light would flash and as soon as i hit the point where it should hit rev limit it would stay constant red and rev right through.

It's basically a stock replacement dampener with only 5 settings. What spring rates are you running? Try playing around with it a little and see what you like.

Lol. Could be a possibility he assumed the gymkhana drift line is faster than the grip line.

As bad as I feel for shattering your dreams, drifting is slower than gripping....
