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.

Least I can do... more DIY to come

AMGMIZ

so how does it feel?

ozoz

oh thanks ... i was going to look for a installation guide last week ... that save me from looking ... but still no time to do it yet

ohlord

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..

Nice! thanks for the pics and dirrections. I am in the process of getting a sprint booster, but was worried I would not know how to install it.

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."

TVT_DESIGN

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.

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...TVT_DESIGN offers a 15 day trial offfer return policy if you want to really be able to make a proper assessment of the SprintBooster I say try it first and return it if you don't like it.

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 minutes 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.

Oh yeah, I still have the $300 in my pocket that way.

No matter the situation I found it annoying if I remembered to do it. When I did I used to do it at night so car is off til morning but with the Sprintbooster I don't worry at all my throttle response is always quick and it doesn't hamper the drivabillity in the Chicago Winters. Nowadays we tend to spend $300 or less on things around us that don't give us satisfaction...well this always satisfies me when I drive her. The feeling of the Sprintbooster also is more noticable to me then the ECU reset ever was. With my current mods I took off the Sprintbooster and did a reset but my car defintely felt more sluggish til I re-installed the SB. Try it ScottW911(I will buy you one and have it shipped to you after my house sells)

ScottW911

I'll take you up on that. Of course, in this market, I may not even own the car any more. I'll be driving a 2011 C63 by then.

Remember, I'm in Real Estate too.
