is sprintbooster better than throttle reset???
that's the question!
Throttle reset is awesome, but I purchased the sprintbooster following the enthusiastic wave of those guys who bought that.
Any personal experience of the difference between the two "ways" of spicing up the C32???
Just wanna make sure I didn't spend money on something I could avoid to buy resetting the throttle let's say on daily basis.
Please reply!

Or get worse, at least until you re-learn how to effectively modulate throttle for traction

How much did this throttle booster cost and is it just for C32's?
And sorry, this is
but would the throttle reset actually reset the ECU or does it do something else? I have an aftermarket ECU and I don't want it reset to normal. Thanks.

appreciated the part describing C32 in "D" mode without the sprintbooster struggling in the "guessing/waiting" mode, you spoke my mind with your own words
That's enough to buy one of those babies IMHO
Ciao!

It's not strictly speaking an ECU reset, but try this:
Get in the car
Insert the Key
Turn it to the Run position, but do not start the car (turn the key to the last position before starting)
Floor the gas pedal for 5 second - kick down button and all, let it all hang out.
Turn the key to off, with the gas still floored
Let off the gas
Start the car
Burn rubber
Some say wait two minutes before starting, some say it doesn't matter

It actually works. At first I passed it off as merely the placebo effect, but after restting it several times (especially after periods of driving in traffic), the car has a slight edge to it; responses are a bit sharper.

I will test it out.
