Selectable Sprint Booster

Just installed the new Selectable Sprint Booster. Works just like the original one except you have the ability to switch it to maximum acceleration, medium acceleration, or just turn it off. Its like having a AMG and NON-AMG Sprint Booster all in one with the ability to switch it off all together which puts it back to factory performance as if it was not installed. The push button will illuminate red for maximum, green for medium, or the light will be off for normal.

A little more than the regular one but it's very well worth it. You will love it very easy to install.

i believe the MAP pricing for the new versions are $329, the old (non-selectable) versions can still be sold for around $299 +/-

I like the sound of it, but I wonder if it'll work properly with our adapting ecu's?

Not too sure Im quite sure someone else with some better knowledge about that will chime in. One thing I did notice is to never change the modes while accelerating. That can cause an immediate surge in acceleration. Other than that I normally keep it on medium but maximum for some fun. You can also set it to your liking and remove the switch and it will retain the setting you choose.
