** To all the people who think SLKFANS is unreliable **

This is not true, he its very easy to get in touch with, i ordered my sprint booster from him on Monday night around 9pm, he shipped it out that day and i had it in my hands Thursday morning. Since i work at MB the guys put it in for me, took all of 20 seconds, and woooowwww what a difference its unbelievable. This is to all who think he may me sketchy, it is all lies, take my word for it.

i originally tried to get a SB from him, but after 5+ PM's and emails i did not get any replies (over a period of 1-2 weeks)... so i got it from another source...

you may say he's "very easy" to get in touch with, but thats because you probably got lucky. in my experience and from what i gathered from others, he can be reliable and can respond quickly... but is not consistent with his responsiveness. so instead of labeling it as black and white, i say that it varies case by case.

regardless, i'm glad that you got a quick response and were able to avoid waiting... SB is a necessary mod for w203's!

....wow. um, how can you base one personal experience with him as the "law" or "rule" and call everyone else liars? what gives you the right to question theyre integrity? besides the fact that your logic is flawed.

sir, please look at your statements and my responses. i'm not saying that SLKFANS IS unreliable, i'm simply stating that one personal experience is simply that; a personal, single experience. its is not law, it is, per se- opinion. one in your (or my) position cannot possibly determine truth or lie in this instance.

if there was an independent 3rd party in charge of the monitoring of SLKFANS, then that could be taken as fact and be used to disprove other's experiences- opinions.

i'm not trying to contradict what you say, your experience was quick, seamless, and professional. as it seems, others have not had such a wonderful experience. i myself used to ebay all the time, and sometimes i'd get in a slump where i was so overwhelmed that i'd forget an order or whatnot, the human fallability factor- i know how it goes, improvising and implementing an original type of system came with taking all of the hurdles on myself.

maybe it the military thing, but i sure dont like my- or others- integrity questioned, based on the fac tthat i give most people here the benefit of the doubt of being honest folks.

Is it possible to use one SB for different Mercs? For example,I buy one for my C now and when I sold the car and getting an E,can I still use it?

And this thread isn't closed yet? I did what I told by the voices in my head...
wooooooo! It's not my fault!

This guy should move his biz to ebay where feedback is cumulative.
Thats would tell the real story.
1 good & 1 bad = a 50% negative feedback rating, which is crap.

anyway, there are online stores this days where sprint booster is easy available. Paid $245 including shipping and arrived my doorsteps in less than a week from www.shop4sprint.com

Was wondering how does it feel to have the amg version of the sprint booster fitted on my kompressor ?

You bought the AMG version? I'm looking at that, but because I already have increased response and power.

Good link, I've been trying to find other sources who is more reliable. I'm going to order one soon.
