I have driven over 5000km with it set on 20btdc, it does warm up quicker and my temperature needle is a tiny little bit higher than normal, but apart from that its fine, your really feel the difference when driving around town in 5th
gear at 40km/h (29ish miles/h)

throttle response is alot better as well.
