Well, I installed my SB today. I was going to create a DIY thread, but it's ridiculously easy to install.....just Plug & Play!

The throttle is so fun now, minimal to almost no lag...it just GOES! Definitely worth the $260!!



I'll take some better pics tomorrow. I was in a rush!

What about when you click the kickdown switch?

Smooth as silk - Like a Bat out Of Hell Hell on my way home today slapped in third with the kickdown.................

I love it because it reminds me not to sell her anytime soon or at all for that fact. I plan adding her to my Stable as I stated before this is definitely one of those cars that you Mod + DIY kinda car .... and fun w/her

By the way I changed the inner parking lights - Looks 10x better than the OEM yellow lights. Looks bluish/silverish color and a lot brighter. Ordered the Fog Lamp lights as well waiting for those to arrive. Next will be the Projector lights w/HID

I'll have all the lights in place

I put some polarg m-17's in my city lights to match my 8k headlights. They run at 8w and look much brighter than the oem. They also have a slight hint of blue to match my headlights. Had them in for 5 months with no problems.

Also if you do purchase them don't forget to file down the points so that they fit properly. I used my girl's Nail Filer to file down the points and put it back when I was done

Nice try.. that's just being lazy -----> I was going to create a DIY thread, but it's ridiculously easy to install

Oh, one more thing to add- myself including a few other members here are still waiting for you to update your Taillights

Now you can place an X in the AMG Sprint Booster box in your sig

LeeRod80

HAHAHA!! Sucka! I'll get around to the tail lights some day.

Bro, it really is too easy to install. LOL Even I did it with no problem.

Man the car is so much more fun now. Haven't kicked it down...YET!



OH! I ordered my suspension today. H&R Sports + Bilstein Sports.

armaniE55

Good Man! That's a great set up- My Driverside Bilstein has a leak so i'm going to replace both the fronts how much did you pay? Post Link for the fronts if you have it (3 years old) by the way-

Let's catch up this weekend so I can check out your ride and give you the #1 spring pads

hi! whats the difference between the AMG sprintbooster and the regular sprintbooser??? are they the same?? thanks!

LeeRod80

SprintBoosters:

Running No SprintBooster = Normal Stock Throttle Response
Running AMG SprintBooster = More Aggressive Throttle Response
Running Non-AMG SprintBooster = Most Aggressive Throttle Response

So if you have an AMG car using the Non-AMG SprintBooster, you have the most aggressive throttle response possible.

pinoyk20

oh ok! so is it ok to run a non amg sprintbooster on a amg e55? cause the problem is im from the philippines and what they only offer here is the non amg sprintbooster

is it safe for the engine,trnay, ecu and the car?? thanks!

Bellefonte

Which one do you have?

AMGTestDriverNJ

Is sprint booster a cure for drive by wire lag? If so, how is that it doesn't make the car somewhat quicker if it responds quicker to your pedal engagement? Thanks

MR888

indeed, damn though I put my sprint booster in also and it is just killer, my drive by wire lag increased big time with the 20s but now its completely gone, can't imagine it on 18's

Esh

Hey LeeRod, you got any exhaust sound clips?

pinoyk20

so which is better AMG sprintbooster or regular sprintbooster? thanks!

Esh

You choose, the better one is the throttle response you prefer. If you want a really touchy throttle, go with Non-AMG SprintBooster, if you want a smooth not so touchy but better throttle, go with AMG SprintBooster. Simple as that.

MR888

Get the AMG one, our cars are pretty aggressive stock, the non AMG SB would probably be a bit overboard, the AMG version is just right I think.

pinoyk20

thanks ! i guess i have to look 4 someone who sells amg sb!

pinoyk20

will the SB work on a 99model w210 e55 amg? how come when i checked their site . the listing is for 2000 models up.....

AMGTestDriverNJ

can anyone answer my question?

MR888

Yes it cures the lag, it sure feels faster so it might be actully a bit faster, but if comparing a freshly reset transmission and ecu reset on a stock car and one with SB im sure they will run the same time, otherwise SB would probably win because of the drive by wire lag and ecu/tranny lag.
