Make your own booster?

Hello to all. I just got a hold of a sprint booster for my 03 s55. Well I decided to examine the booster to see what it consist of and how it is designed. Correct me if I might be wrong but I determined that all it does is configure the connections from one end to the other. It appears that if your are good with connectors and wires, you can probably make your own booster and get the same results.

I am not a crafty guy, but someone who has knowledge on how to install wiring can pull this off.

The booster does work as I though it would, just sightly tap the accelerator and off you go, even in comfort mode is ridiculous.

Sorry but I don't know what "booster" you are talking about. A little more explanation will be helpful.

Thanks.

Sprint booster, you know the one that improves your acceleration and you plug it to your gas pedal. Pocting pictures will not help describe what I am referring to. You actually have to examine it and notice its not rocket science.
