Sprintbooster specifically for AMGs .....
I am buying a Sprintbooster, and the supplier asked if I had pulleys .... replied with yes.... and they said that there is a different sprintbooster specifically for modified C32s
Quote
"if you have done the pulleys, then you will need the slower version. As
tune-up mods altered the torque too much on the C32, the ECU can detect
irregular torque behavior in compare to the throttle angle, hence the engine light will comes out.
We have a BDD451A2 version which is more suitable for you."
Anyone heard of this ?

So there is an A2 version . . . hmmm. My sprintbooster throws me into limp mode under certain conditions, and it's just the A version. The A2 might cure this problem. Who are you speaking to regarding this? Can you PM me their contact info? Thanks

If you end up getting the A2 version I might be interested in picking up your regular. PM me if interested...

I had SB on my pulley C32 for months and no limp mode.
check your plug wires, ic pump,
my car was acting bad for 3 months and it turned out to be 1 bad wire from those cheap magnacor.
plugs are okay, but keep stock wires people.

The problem seems to happen on heavily modded C32s with sprintboosters, especially in cold weather. I know of a handful of people that have the issue. It really is the booster that pushes it into limp. I first thought it was the plugs/wires too, but it isn't. Put the booster on = limp mode, remove it = no limp.

interesting...what other conditions does it take to throw it into limp mode?

What supplier did you use for this??
I've thought about buying one but had the same concern with my setup. My S/C setup uses a positive discplacement blower so I get max PSI thrown right out of idle. Tipping the pedal just a bit will make the car jump at times so I'm thinking the sprint booster may have me looking like a first timer with a standard transmision. I wish I could just try one.

Sprintbooster for modified C32
I've been using the regular automatic sprint booster on my Evosport Stage 2+ modified C32 for a while now, and it's been working flawlessly. Never went into limp mode and never had engine light come on... 
Has anyone else been experiencing problems?

I bet in climates where it doesn't snow or the ground doesn't freeze, you won't have any issues.
Next time it's raining, go to a parking lot and spin your tires a few times (with ESP on) to see if you can get the car to go into limp mode.

Mine did it all the time during winter. For a while there I thought it was the design of the car. I always drove in W mode and no matter how much I tried, I would still get wheel spin in the snow / ice. It seems like the car would let you spin the tires, then it would throw the ESP light. If you did it a few more times within a few minutes, you would go into limp mode until you restarted the car. I even got the "ESP not available - visit workshop" message a few times when it was snowing.

You wouldn't lose ESP either. It would always work, the light would just stay on until you shut the car off and restarted it.
"Limp Mode" to me was a continious ESP light.

So does this mean that if I have an E63 n/a motor I should order the BDD451A version and not the A2? I am a bit worried as I just ordered the A2 version as it was advertised as the "AMG Automatic" version.

I sold my A to a non AMGer to buy the A2. I'm not sure if you'd need it on a normal AMG, but I was having the limp mode issue with my modded C32.
Do non-AMG Mercedes even have limp mode?
