I wouldn't have brought the car to the dealership. If you get a low engine power alert & the check engine light usually the issue is either that the controller was calibrated wrong during install/set up or the electronics in the VTC got damaged.

If you disconnect the VTC and plug everything back into the gas pedal (like stock) you can drive the car normal again and don't need the dealership to do anything. The check engine light will go away after 6 key starts when that particular code comes up (P2138).

If you hit up Vitesse Motorsports they can help you troubleshoot it.

I'm fine with pushing the pedal a little harder.

The Throttle Controller has absolutely nothing to do with the secondary cat deletes.

Any concerns with our controller, please send us a message / call us and we'll help you resolve it without having to go to the dealer...
Good plug in, folks should really check it out. IT'S like your entire car feel is different when you TAP the pedal. (And I have my cats deleted)
