non cruise control cable mod

[DARKTALONTSI]

ok ive read about the non cruise control cable mod for the 2g but the post dont really say what you get out of it.....is it just for looks or does it improve throttle response? because i have 2 non cruise cables i picked up but i think they are from 1g eclipses not 2g...should i do this mod to my tsi?

if you want to try and clean up your engine bay a little bit, go ahead. i do not believe it adds any throttle response though.

I did mine to clean up the engine bay, nothing to do with throttle response. Less cluttered that was my goal.

I did mine also for reduced clutter. I didn't happen to notice anything with the throttle response, per se, but the gas pedal pressure was a bit firmer to the touch, allowing me to control it better. That may have been simply due to the cable being new. I did find that this was one of the simplest modifications I've ever done to my car, but had one of the most drastic results as far as engine bay appearance. And I no longer cut my hands on the cruise control bracket attached to the strut tower.

ok thank you all i will proceed to do this mod then.....can i use a 1g non cruise control cable then since i have two of them or do i need one from a 2g?

Im almost positive you need to get a 2g cable. I believe the distance is different and you will be short with the 1g cable. (78% perfect positive...hehe)

There are separate part numbers for the two cables so I would assume they are different. You could always try to install the 1g one and if it wont fit then order the 2g one.

I got mine from extremepsi here great buy. I do believe there are different for the 1 and 2g.

ok thanx i guess ill just have to sell these two and pick up a 2g one

I also got mine from Extremepsi. Very reputable vendor and the part fit perfectly. You can also get them from the dealership, however, I believe they're actually cheaper from Extreme. Don't quote me on that; but maybe check your local dealership if you have time.

Extreme PSI is where I got mine as well, usually the best prices and fast shipping. Can't go wrong.
