ML63 Sprint booster?
Has anyone installed a Sprint Booster V3 on a 2007-2011 ML63 ? I've tried with two SBME0003S and no joy. The controller lights green, red, or off and with numbers, but the throttle pedal wont rev at all. It's like it's not plugged-in. I have triple checked the connections and pins. Yes, I have a iCarsoft to clear the CEL light. I'm thinking they are sending me the wrong unit to fit an AMG, but they claim its for all 2000-2011 MLs.

Don't want to leave the thread hanging. The Sprint Booster is now working great, I wish I had known about them years ago. The 63 really feels alive now, without the hesitation. I can roll on the power slowly to accelerate smoothly or punch it and it will jump. NO more one-Mississippi-go. Now, I can't imagine driving an ML or any drive-by-suggestion car without it.
The problem earlier was apparently Mercedes used a different pedal and wiring somewhere in the earlier models. Only a few thousand ML63's are imported each year and of them I guess only some had the different parts. I have to really thank Norman of JRP, the USA distributer, for spending a lot of his time to unravel the problem.

2011 ml63
I'm also thinking of putting the sprint booster on my 2011 ml63 but I was a bit scared because I'm scared of what damaged it can do. I here the kick down is quicker and the response on the gas pedal is faster. have you guys have any issue so far? FYI- I tend to have a heavy foot and that's why I'm scared to buy a sprint booster mainly because of the tranny.
