SprintBooster C32 DIY
This is a very simple install but I figure pics never hurt so here goes;
Product: BDD451A2 Mercedes Benz AMG Auto
Cost: $280 shipped from Ebay (seller PartsExporter)
Tools: You will need a socket wrench and 10mm socket and a flat head screwdriver.
Heres the pedal assembly untouched;
1) Pry the cap off under the pedal using your flathead screwdriver.
2) Next, unscrew the nut using the socket wrench.
3) Pull the pedal assembly up a bit to clear the bolt then pull everything down toward you.
4) Locate the throttle connection on top of the assembly and detach the harness.
5) Insert your superdooper sprintbooster in between
6) Reinstall everything in reverse order.

Why
waste your money on a product that even the maker says it just makes the car feel quicker and has been proven to do nothing to actually make the car quicker
3-4 hundred dollars for what?A feeling

Just finished working on the c32 and shes back on the road; I had a delay from autohausaz sending me the wrong air filters. Anyway, I cant really give a review of just the sprintbooster because I also did code3 pulley, air intake and spacers all at once. All I can say is that she rips now! The lag that I had when I stomped on the pedal is gone... and that was really why I wanted the sprintbooster. So for now it stays on -if I get a tune down the road that solves the lag problem, I may remove it.

Have you tried the sprintbooster? You might change your mind. I also was skeptical at first but I figured if I didn't like it I can always sell it right..

Its an easy DIY and I did it in about 10 minutes; Toughest part is stuffing the wires back up in there above the accelerator. No, it doesn imrove performance BUT sure does help "driveability."

Just a heads up for all the skeptics, we offer a 15 day money back trial. That's full money back not 70% and the rest is a "restocking fee."
OT, I never understood restocking fees. Does it cost more to put something back on the shelf a second time?

I have 1 and it makes the car more fun to drive. Big help when trying to make a left turn at a light and you 'give it the beans'. Before the car would be way too delayed. I even brought it to the dealer thinking they can recalibrate the ecu to speed it up but the such luck. The sprint booster 'wakes' up the response it get when I slam my foot she goes.

Just do the reset of the TCU
it wakes up the car to factory settings and wipes out the adaptive memory.Changes shift points,firms them up and feels like an instant tune up.Costs nothing but 3 minutes of your time.

Doing the ECU reset can become annoying especially at once a week and its suppose to take a wait up to 2 minutes after its been done prior to turning car back on according to what I have read befose in a thread about the ECU reset so SprintBooster helps eliminate this 2 minute+execution time wait time...
Oh yeah, I still have the $300 in my pocket that way.

Victor, I believe we have found that the 2 minute wait is unnessesary. I don't wait most times. If you are unsure about it and still want the 2 monutes in there, just do the reset when you shut the car down. I turn the car off, turn the ignition back on for the 5-7 seconds (pedal down, of course) and turn it off again.. then walk away. Done.
