I added my name and info on the group buy section (drex would be happy for me doing it in the right subforum! ). I actually posted two messages before I realized that each message there doesn't appear immediately, and needs to be approved by a mod (the terrorists have won, it appears). For the record, I have a 2002 Ccoupe, manny.

I'll pm you my email addy as well.

I have a problem.. Did anyone buy a sprint booster from SLKFAN before? I bought it like 2-3 weeks ago and it still haven't come yet...I emailed him, he responded last Wednesday and said it will be shipped out late this week(which is Mar-7).. So I emailed him and ask for the tracking number, but he never responded. I emailed him last friday and he never respond...emailed him yesterday and still did not respond? So i was wondering if this happen to anyone before? Any thing i can do? any one know him personally?

I installed mine yesterday - one side has a curve to it, the other is boxed. So, I matched the curved side with the curved side when I attached it.

Pretty easy install, and car feels pretty good. Not a HUGE improvement, but a nice, more responsive throttle for under $300, which is a bargain for our cars, unfortunately. I'd give it two

Thank you for saying that. Someone needed to stand up and defend the good guys here.

So...if I just push the pedal down further straight away, I'd accomplish the same thing? Or does it reduce the time from pushing the pedal to it doing something?

My pedal is already pretty touchy with ASP pulley, more so now with the header. I have to go sooooo gentle on the pedal or suffer 12 mpg around town if I jack rabbit off from every start, which only takes about 1/2 throttle.

Freeway is another story, I can get up to 30 mpg with the wind at my back on a good day.

Isn't someone out there curious enough to analyze the insides of this thing?
I remember seeing a video in Russian or something from the makers of this thing... Da!
Wouldn't you like to know if you're paying $250 for a resistor with some connectors attached?
I keep thinking of the Audi 5000, and how it supposedly accelerated by itself....if anyone recalls...

Modifying the acceleration circuit...hmmmm......

with the finest quality Eastern Estonian technology made from surplus
Russian military circuitry?
Just kidding...but it does leave one to wonder if this thing fails somehow what the result would be. WOT?

Hmmm
Without any other performance mods, yeh I'm sure you would feel a difference.
My car lags on throttle response with the pulley out.

Anyone have M111 with Pulley and SB?

I heard rumors that there is an SB for auto and manual. I tried going to slk's site and emailed him, but no response.

i heard the auto sb and manual sb are two different as far as aggressiveness. there was a rumor going around that you could put the manual sb on the auto and it would be more aggressive then the auto sb on auto. any of this true?

if thats the case, then im all about the manual sb on auto.
