SPRINT BOOSTER vs. PEDALBOX

What would make you purchase one over the other
There are many positive reviews for the Sprint Booster
yet I am not finding but one or two reviews for the
PedalBox - both positive
Are there any real differences other than the price
Has anyone here tried the PedalBox - ...good/bad results
Thank-You
D.B.

I would choose the Sprint Booster because of the flexibility (36 programs/configs) and the longevity of the company.
Does using the "S" mode do a similar thing?
Let us know which you buy and how it performs.

I really liked the sprint booster when I had it for 2 years. But within that 2 years my fuel pump went out 4 times leaving me stranded. Not saying it’s the cause, but it is what it is. No problems in the 7 years before, and no problems in the 6 years, 100k since I removed it. I still have it but afraid to put it back on.

I have come close to reading just about every post
relating to Sprint Booster on this forum - Benzworld -
a BMW forum as well as a Lexus forum -
Yours is the worst case problem I have come across -
By far -
I have no doubt that you had a problem with fuel pumps
and no problems since you removed your SB -
First hand experience is the best source of knowledge -
Most negative comments regarding SB are being made
by forum members who have no firsthand experience
with SB in the forums mentioned above -
I am not sure how long SB has been offering their
money back guarantee but I don't think I encountered
one member from any forum that said after trying SB
they were returning it for a refund -
Doing the Eurocharged ECU / TCU tunes first -
The ECU tune is over the internet and I just shipped the
TCU to Eurocharged today -
I also stopped by service to find out about installing the TCU
and resetting the transmission adaptation settings with STAR DAS -
Told to just bring it by as it only takes about 30 minutes for the
transmission tech to install / reset -
I have posted that I drive in the S mode (W/S) and the car is in
Dyno Mode at all times -
I am still considering the SB but am going to drive with the "TUNES"
for a few days before making a call on the SB -
Thank-You

Why do you post with only a handful of letters per line? Posts take a lot of vertical space this way. Is this a preference you have or some formatting problem you are facing? I could help if so.

The TCU was returned from Eurocharged safe and sound
and very quickly - with a very nice Thank-You gift enclosed -
Stopped by to have the transmission service tech swap out the
OEM TCU and install the TCU with the Eurocharged TCU tune
then hook-up Star Das and do the reset -
Took him about 20 minutes -
The Eurocharged ECU tune was done over the internet -
As I posted before the car is always in Dyno Mode and
the transmission is always set to "S" (W/S) -
The car is quicker with much quicker shifting -
I would do these two tunes again as they change the way
the car drives for the better -
A really big Thank-You to solomon@eurocharged.com
He was great to work with and listened to everything I wanted -
If you are thinking about a ECU or TCU tune (or both) Solomom
will take care of you - (I did sweeten the deal) -
It doesn't cost anything to talk to him -
I also ordered the Sprint Booster and it should be delivered tomorrow -
I am planning to have it installed Wensday or Thursday -
Thank-You

Update on the Sprint Booster install -
Prior to the SB install I tried driving as recommended
by forum members who did not have experience with
the SB -
I floored it - mashed it - stomped on it ect... as I had never
driven the car in such a manner around town -
Apples and oranges when comparing such actions to
the SB -
The install took 12 minutes by a pro installer who has
done more than a few of these -
The factory preset was green 5 where I left it for the first day -
The next day I set it at red 9 and it has been there ever since -
The car is in Dyno mode at all times -
The transmission is always set in "S" (W/S) -
Since becoming the owner of this car I have used it for mostly
driving around town -
Now after the suspension mods and having just done the ECU
and TCU tunes from Eurocharged the SB brings the car alive -
The car is so much fun to drive around town - the mental stimulation
I get from the acceleration as well the sound from the modified exhaust
is what I had been missing -
Turning the SB off and driving takes you no where mentally - it is like taking
a fistfull of Tuinal's - ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuinal ) - and stumbling
around town -
At the time the SB was installed I went and had the oil and oil filter changed
and put on a new oil filler cap -
Ben at Eastside Auto Salon replaced the BMC filters with new ones and also
replaced the air intake tubes with the new tubes I had pick-up at the dealership -
Even if your car is stock the first $300.00 you spend on it
spend it on a Sprint Booster - a smile on your face as your mind
says "Oh Yeah - this is crazy" -
Basically done with the car - waiting to have an Alpine iLX F309
with a 9" floating screen installed the first of September when my
installer has time -
Now for the big summer detail from Joey at Eastside Auto Salon
in Bellevue -
Thank-You
D.B.
