you have to programe in the RPM verses Vehicle speed..

Very simple to do ... you just need a speed sensor input..

No, but its very straight forward to set that part up. You just drive in each car (not fast, just drive normally in each car) and press a button when the value shown settles down.

Other than that, it is one of the more complex controllers to set up, but is effective. Not great for high boost though (over 2 bar).
