like the others have said..you are one of the victims to ebay's quick little scams to make quick bucks fund! well not ebay but the seller just made a quick buck off of you. Basically you wont get any power out of that, and its a waste of money and time.

yeah, I figured, but hey, it was worth a shot, and btw for all you guys out there who think its a fast and furious name, no, god no, double clutch is for road racing, not draging, or driving a truck, unless im mistaken, thanks anyway.
Double clutching is also for old cars with worn syncros in the tranny. I have to double clutch down into 2 in my '67 datsun all the time. you can get pretty fast at it after a while...

rev matching is usually fine. I don't double-clutch downshift on my tranny with 177K miles, but I always rev match when downshifting, and that works fine.

saves your synchros in the long term supposedly among other things

I think the benifits of double clutching for newer cars are minimal unless you are racing and worried about saving the syncros. The shift will take longer though, so you have to factor that in too. That said, I have driven plenty of classic cars and trucks that won't even go into gear without a healthy double clutch, and most of the time rev matching won't help one tiny bit. crappy old cars are so much fun!

i got drawn in on that IAT resistor thing...whatever...
it did help my gas mileage on the highway..but ate it up around town...
i got home from rochester ny to marlton nj on a single tank of gas [360+mi]
so that was cool...cause usually it took 1.5 tanks to get home, but other than that it was a waste of money

double clutching in a car with syncros is basically negating the point of the invention of syncros.
revmatch.
not to mention you are wearing your clutch twice as fast =P
