throttle booster, highly recommand!
If you guys found that the "stupid DBW" throttle response on your c32/c55 sucks, I highly recommand this thing for you.
I've recently installed this booster on my car(see the link below), it really made a huge difference, throttle response has improved a lot, like the tranditional Non-DBW, which gives you so much better feeling, especially on the low-rev, car picks up like it supposed to be, although it won't increase any hp/tq., it makes me fall in love with my car again!

I don't get it !!! Why are you so quick to doubt it? Have you try it? The perosn that try it.........like it alot and want to share it will us.

Chiptuning and nevertheless we do not have better responsing mode, higher torque and achievement in the lower speed range and reached more than with Chiptuning
Already starting from 950 Umin the torque already begins.
In the last years we got very many calls and inquiries, from drivers, who are dissatisfied with your vehicles.
One of the most frequent questions was placed us is:
What for possibilities gives it, in order to obtain a better passage?
On our demand which for vehicles they drive, got we usually the answer:
It concerns Benziner with 1,0 litres up to 1.8 litres of motorizing. Further we stated that it always turns around the same weak points. Usually a new vehicle bought with same series achievement as an identically constructed older vehicle or a similar model, but with the following crucial disadvantages:
High consumption
very weak responsing mode
Passage equal zero
Not comparably with the old models
Vehicle does not react at the accelerotor pedal (fuel intake)
Pedal must be nearly always depressed
Due to this frequent very similar question we have begun also smaller engines to optimize around more achievement to obtain, so that the drivers have the desired fun with your new vehicle.
Unfortunately only an increase in output from ca.8% -16% is to be obtained to by exclusive optimization with new vehicles with electronic accelerotor pedal and suction engines (engines without loading). Considering the weight of a vehicle this unfortunately too little is to be made lucky around a modern driver. Therefore we concerned with it, who possibilities there could be of changing with a vehicle the responsing mode and the passage, have to place ourselves in order the driver again contently.
Our result: The Sprint booster
It is an electronic module, which is installed simply between accelerotor pedal and plug.
Thus been made by the potentiometer, which is in the module, a new computation and all delays at the accelerotor pedal are thus eliminated.
The modules are accurately adapted to the respective motor vehicle types.
The assembly duration amounts to between 5-30 min. (depending upon motor vehicle type).
Further additional advantages
Acceleration also at low number of revolutions
Passage in the whole speed range
Sprit save up to 16%
No unnecessary load of the engine
one has to have the feeling 15 HP more
Exhaust gas values remain series values
No attitude necessary
No interference in electronics
Disadvantages:
None
As we determined for the small motorizing the very much brought credit we begun also for the vehicles with larger capacity to develop

TopGun32: Vancouver. My friend bought for me from HK though. It's a DIY job.
2QUIK4U: just wonder, have you driven a non-DBW V8 car or any high performance japanese cars? I doubt you don't!
knepster: wonderful translation.
Zeppelin: I hope it happens soon.
last of all, I just wanna share something new here, I am not the seller nor inventor.

sounds like a "snake oil" type product. Similar to the "tornado" air cyclone thing.
or how about this

Guys,
I am based in Singapore and I have installed this module "sprint booster". Initially I was having doubts on this module after so much recommendation from various sources whether it performs to my expectation. So decided to give it a try from our local mechanic who fix the module to allow me to try it. There was no obligation.
You know what ? The car behaves like a different animal
. The throttle response when you hit the pedal, the vehicles just flies 
. Especially when you are overtaking, it is unbeliveable. I am not kidding, but this module performs wonders... It is just like having a well tune ecu in your vehicle...

hi, for those of you who have install this "Sprint Booster", do you find difference in fuel consumption? My technician told me that all electronic parts in the car are wired and lots of data in the car computer, if I have this thing installed would it affect the car computer since some data should be changed to give better response on gas, and would it affect other parts of the car, any error code so far?

I'm definitely interested, if this product is legit. The throttle response of the C32 is so poor that I've considered a C55 upgrade because I thought it was because of supercharging. Any C32 owner can attest to this behavior:
1) Lightly press gas pedal to accelerate from stop.
* Almost nothing happens, kind of a tepid response. *
2) Continuing very smoothly, press pedal slightly more.
* Car jumps forward as if you sharply jabbed at it. Wife snickers at you *
Sound familiar?

That's a different beast. What you're talking about sounds like the dreaded 2002 C32 Jerk. This module won't fix that problem. For that, you'd need to get a new ECU, and possibly tranny and torque converter.

I have tried it too on my CLS55 and the throttle response is so scary I took it off! Would have left it on if my mom and sister didn't drive the car once in a while

MB' suffer from throttle non linearity after a few days of normal driving.
This can be reset by "turning key to ON, pressing throttle to floor, wait 5 secs, turn key OFF, release pedal, wait 2 minutes.
Car feels like a new car again due to throttle coming in early. This unit saves having to do this by keeping throttle linear all the time. Great idea..
BUT at 299 Euros
Ill just reset my throttle every Saturday.
if you find them on EBAY give me a call

slkfans: great that we had a same feeling.
HLG600: it should fit most of the DBW euro cars. including bmw and audi.
kk249: no problem at all after having it installed for 3 weeks. fuel con. will be increased since you will love to rock on the thorttle everytime you drive the car.j/k!
m3_eater: try it yourself, i bet you won't regret.
Jspeed: same situation. my wife hate this thing a lot since the thorttle response became scary.
Josh K: you made a big mistake here as this thing doesn't increase hp nor tq. but improve the TB responsive.
bazzle: I found it too expensive too, module itself would cost less then 5 bucks. but after you got the unit, you would just forget how much you paid.
