Anyone selling a c250 SprintBooster?? 2014

Hi guys,

My wife is seriously disappointed in the 'throttle'/transmission lag out of her c250. I personally think it's manageable, however I have a heavier foot.

This leads me to think that a Sprint Booster would be a good solution for her.

Anyone that has one for sale, let me know - email works best, but I'll check PMs - drew.pearson4@gmail.com

Quick question, is this particular model also compatible with a 2014 C300 4matic? I was interested in getting one when I first heard about it but also read on these forums that it was not compatible with 2013-2014 models, clearly that website says differently.

^Your welcome.

Also, this seems to help crappy throttle lag. Or at least it worked for me.

Steps to Reset the TCU. Resetting the TCU will reset transmission to factory shift points and the car will 'relearn' your driving style.
(1.) Turn the ignition key to the on (not start) position.
(2.) Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold for five seconds.
(3.) Turn the key to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.
(4.) Wait at least two minutes for TCU to reset.

I'll have to try the TCU reset, maybe this will help in the meantime. I was poking around the Pedalbox website but it doesn't really state what makes/models they support. A few forum searches on Sprintbooster yielded some results of people with 2013 C250s using it and liking the added response but no one with a C300 =/

When going through the site to actually buy the mod it asks for the Make/Model of your car. The W204 C250 is in there. In fact all models of the W204 are listed. The W205's arent though. You should be good to go. Wouldn't hurt to call either speedbooster or pedalbox to confirm though. When I have more play money I'm thinking of going to Pedalbox just because I want my throttle to feel like it's driven by a cable system and not this electronic crap..
