This is a very good mod that I've used for a while and actually performed to a friends controller as well. This isn't "turbo" but is better is many ways. Basically, around half way down when the trigger, the controller makes the gun shoot, so you don't have to pull much more then that to shoot rapidly, so I made an external addon that allows you to use that for your advantage and only move the trigger as far as you have to move it. This is great for the G3 in CoD4 people even accused me of turboing because it fires with great speed. It also works for many other guns, and because it lowers the movement distance, could improve reaction time and accuracy.
One necessary material is hot glue, or some kind of glue to hold onto the controller. From experience, the low temp hot glue works better then high temp for this purpose, although both work you will need more for a high temp glue gun. You can get the same light blue hot glue gun I have for $3 at Wal-Mart (or any craft store) and don't forget the glue.
Step one: Find
Next, we will make the bracket, so you can make sure the pen clip isn't too long and trim it. before gluing it, I have two designs that have worked, using either a Uniball pen's metal clip and some pliers, or two cut off Ethernet cable tips.
Option one: Ethernet Tips
You can use two tips from a scrapped Ethernet cable, just cut the wire as short as you can and make sure none is coming out of the shell, if you have to snip into it to get any extra wire out. I've had success with a phone jack cable but it wasn't as secure.
Option two: Metal Pen Clip
Use the metal clip from a "Uniball" pen's cap. As long as you have 2 pairs of pliers (needlenose are better)you can bend the clip into the perfect bracket, much cleaner looking then the Ethernet tips, but they are equally effective.
Putting it all together:
Ethernet Tip method:
To ensure the trigger clip isn't too long, hold the first Ethernet tip closest to the controller, clip side away from the controller and down. If the trigger clip is too long, cut it with a saw, wire cutters, or cut it with some strong scissors.
Hold the trigger clip on the trigger to make sure it almost gets past the outer edge of the Ethernet tip, if it does it will stop it from moving up and down.
Both Methods:
Hot glue a flat pen clip that is longer then the trigger on top of the trigger, I just put a good line of glue down the trigger and held the clip right there and let it cool. Make sure you don't get glue on the sides of the trigger, or into the crack!
Now, go onto your Xbox, and go into a split screen game, or whatever you need to do to see the threshold of the trigger, pull it down slowly and look how far it takes to register a shot, and take an exacto knife, or sharp object, and make a small groove on the corner of the trigger right where it registers a shot.
For the metal pen clip method bend your clip to the picture to the right, note the ~75-85 degree bend to hold the trigger clip, and the ~10-15 degree bend on the controller side near the loop to fit the contours of the controller, tweak as necessary.
Grab your hot glue gun, and glue the clip so the bottom part near the bend is just after the threshold of the trigger to fire, and that the top is before it, you may have to bend your clip slightly if needed.
For the Ethernet tip method, hold the first tip in the correct position under the trigger, and make the clip fall upon it and just barely go past the fire threshold, and glue it down. Do the glue all the way around it except for the side facing the trigger.
Take the second Ethernet clip, and cut the little arm half way down if you want, and then put it on top holding the trigger clip before it reaches the threshold and glue it down, making sure not to get glue on the part where the trigger clip falls.
That's it, remember, the smaller the gap you can make the better! Happy modding!
