Question for Sprint Booster owner

My sprint Booster work great the first week I install it. Now it doesn't feel as responsive like it use to. It felt worst than when I had the SB put in.

anyone feel the same way??

I think you have gotten used to it as I have now gotten used to mine. A buddy of mine drove my car before the booster and now a couple of months later, he drove it again after the booster. He was amazed at the response so I guess it's still working, lol...

E55.....AMG


just a question as £4.50 ($9 approx) a gallon isn't cheap when it gets through it as quick as it does

2002 e55 w211 ....
ha ha yeah totally agree really expnsive to run over here......

as for mpg with the sprint booster..... im sure it prob went up in the 1st couple days due to me trying the difference and of course getting used to it..... but like i have said before im not saying WOW what a difference when fitted as i didn't really feel a difference...... i think but that might be due to the fact i only had the car a little while before doing it... i am 99% sure its made a little difference BUT no difference in MPG or noticible difference anyway....???

the biggest difference i have noticed in MPG is with AIR_CON OFF instead of ON!!!! belive it or not its as much as 5mpg overall!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except when you're on the highway at speeds over 50mph. Having the A/C on and the windows closed will actually emprove your MPG due to the wind resistance on your car with the windows open.

Theoretically gives better throttle response but IMOP not wrth the investment. Unless I see it shaving off time on folks ET's and increasing MPH the $$ stays in my Wallet. Better off doing an exh mod for the $$ if your exh is stck.
