I'm not aware of this product.

As always, beware of snake oil. Caveat emptor.

sounds kinda funny...especially if they are in the UK...if they rip you off there is no jurisdiction for you to go after them for your money. This stuff never really works even if it is a real product.

i decided to revive this thread because i'm actually thinking of buying this thing... web site is www.powersystemusa.com, they are distributing all over the US now. Has anybody tried it?
Im driving a c not a clk but , im worried about the product not my car; it has nothing to do with sprintbooster , sprintbooster connects to the gas pedal if im not mistaken.

Think about what they have to offer.

The principle is to insert a little box (like a card game pack) between the engine and the computer.

Power System's power booster boxes improve engine performance with complete safety: they optimise the data transmitted between the computer and the vehicle’s injection system.

They claim to have built a ‘card game pack’ that works on any engine management system. Gasoline, diesel, turbo, NA, it really doesn’t matter, just send them $500.

This has as much a chance of working as taping a magnet to the fuel line to "align the fuel molecules".

I can make a nicer looking box with a better guarantee for less $ I can also sell you a little plastic fan that makes any car a turbo, or how about a rare earth magnet that will get you better MPG than a Prius.
