Check the above thread. It was posted by the supplier himself, TVT_Design. He says the w204 sprint booster is available now for ordering online. Make sure to post a review after install! If you could take lots and lots of pictures while installing and post a nice DIY instruction thread, that'd be even better.

Edit: this was 30 hp for my 350, I don't know how much it would be for a 300.

I was just thinking.
Since the sprintbooster basically changes the signal going to the engine to tell it that the gas pedal is in a position that it really isn't, couldn't you accomplish the same thing by retraining yourself on where to position your foot during accellerations?

That isn't all it does. It keeps the ECU in a more aggressive mode and ready to go. No more lag from the get.

No. It has nothing to do with the ECU. It goes into the pedal to make the response time "seem" faster. There are no hp or tq gains, your car will not accelerate any faster from 0-60 then before.

I have a question...
Why doesn't Mercedes tune it at the factory to say they have a 298 HP c350 that competes with the 335i????
If it is as simple as a few tweaks of software, than WTF, I don't get it...
Is it because they don't want to have a 3.5 liter car with bad gas milage???
Can Somebody explain to me please? I dont get it...
Thanks in advace
