Definitely fixed my Saga FLX CVT problem, no more slow pick up at low rpm, no more jerk!!
first of all, sorry for my poor English...
just to share a story of my car... My car is Saga FLX SE, which is 1.6L campro engine with CVT gearbox. Most of the Saga FLX CVT owner know that this car is uncomfortable to drive in traffic jam (start and stop) condition, it will jerk when move-stop-move, and also slow pedal response, due to drive-by-wire delay, and CVT gearbox slow response. The CVT, driving below 1800rpm is not smooth, and no power. When we press the pedal to pick up the car from stationary, the car doesn't move when then engine rev is below 1500-1600rpm, when the rpm reach 1800-2000rpm, the torque suddenly come out, feel like the power not able to transfer to transmission(gearbox) smoothly when low rpm..
Since the CVT gearbox control system mainly rely to electronic, by improve the car power system, maybe can fix these problem.
First I improve the grounding, of course not the fake/imitation/cheap HKS grounding cable filled with powder...

I order a customize grounding cable from EDGE founder: Monster123 cari forum ID. This freak good in home/car audio system. The reason I take GC from him is, the cable his chosen is industrial grade copper, and good for audio system also. not like the HKS one...

after I installed the GC, the low rpm performance is improve, jerking is reduce about 60-70%, it is more nice to drive in (start and stop) condition. This prove my conjecture, it make me want to further improve my car power system.
The advantage of the EDGE is it improve performance from low rpm, mid rpm, to high rpm. Why EDGE need to run in? If you are an Audiophiles, you will know the reason... in audio world, these electronic component such capacitors, opamp, even a good resistor, VR, after run in, your audio system will produce better sound. Also, different capacitor produce different sound.. The same concept apply to EDGE VS, it use good capacitor(good in audio and also engine performance), different capacitor and combination, produce different sound and engine performance.
I brought the EDGE entry level VS, and also a add on (to improve low and mid rpm, but lost high rpm improvement).
P/S: Most of the VS from other brand only improve performance at low rpm, but heavy at mid and high rpm (you will feel heavy at mid/high rpm when pressing pedal, the rpm shoot up, but speed can't go up).

I'm very impressive with the performance improve from EDGE entry VS. The performance improve in starting, overtaking, slope climbing, is really good. The enjoyable thing is, the performance improve day by day while the VS running in.
I started to get poison by this little baby, start to sell off the run in 65 hours Entry level VS, and then upgrade to higher level, named "little giant" with price tag RM370, nearly two time of the price of entry level VS.

I can easily play around with low rpm (1000-1800rpm), driving in traffic jam is more comfortable, smooth power output at low rpm. Driving car everyday with a surprise.. after run in for more than 70 hours, I can conclude that the performance improve compare to Entry level VS is more than FOUR time!!! but the price only two times higher. When my car full load with 5 people, the engine power still can move the car easily, not so under power.
After that I install a alternator cable, from battery +VE to alternator +VE, this one really eliminate the drive-by-wire delay, delay almost non-exist

Now I'm using BT303, carry 5 ppl, not under power at all, very smooth.
About the HUVS (HU303) make sure you install together battery EDGE VS to ensure full improvement to the audio. Here is the video, before and after, you can compare it..

But can you guys share your photo with bigger view? If only the close up of battery part all look about 1 macam saja

Oh ya, this car just do its DYNO report on BT 502 20 hours run in (with Unichip q+), the dyno center also impress with the performance increase. According to him hardly can get this kind of result for CITY IDSI. Car owner will do another test next month or Dec 2012 after BT 502 run in more hours to see the different.

i am EDGE (BT302 + booster) user, since a year ago.
My ride is Hyundai Getz 1.4A which is quite heavy and underpowered :sad: I found this VS in Cari chinese forum which is very hot discussed since last year. Few of my friends from Getz owner club in Cari also highly recommended the EDGE VS to me.
So, i just give it a try due to the creator has agreed that to refund within 2 weeks (i guess, can't remember how long) if i cannot feel any improvement.
(before use EDGE i did tried on the 70,000uf VS, it was so...hmm...not really good, just a week i quickly return to the seller)
The EDGE has to run in to get optimum performance, to me is quite special feature. After 2 weeks, i feel very satisfied with it although it's still not hitting 100 hours.
My ride - the heavy Getz become lighter, smoother, more responsive, and i can easily rev up RPM with more power. The feeling is complicated, it's just like the car has revive from death
I do also noticed a little improvement on fuel saving. Before i install EDGE VS, normally i get 330KM with full tank now i can constantly hit 350-370km, although not much but i feel very happy.
we never know how good it is until we try. i'm glad that i make a right choice. Now, i'm planning to get another EDGE VS for my new ride - Kia Forte
