I was one of the guys that did not receive my SB from SLKFans. I got my money back from Paypal. I am going to another source for them to see if we can get better pricing. I will keep everyone posted.

Eric,

I think 250 is what the going rate is. I believe I purchased mine before Clay so if he said 225.00 then it is 225.00. Should have purchased mine when you had the chance..it was going for 180.00...

Thanks for rubbing it in! At that point in time I had my order in with SLKFans. I have been looking everywhere and most vendors want $300 +shipping. I am trying to shoot for around $250 or less including shipping. If they come from overseas I don't mind receiving all of the SB and then mailing them out if it means driving down the cost.

Not because I was waiting for the result from Jangy , but I will also be in for the GB if that happens. It appears that the "lag" is being eliminated with this unit.

Modulation is always very important to me, but since this is a mostly street car, the lag, which is experience on everyday driving, is killing me. I have not experience any car that has this kind of lag with this kind of power. Because of this lag, it appears that the second WOT seems to respond sooner and at times I feel like I have to do an initial WOT to wake the car up.

It is funny you say that. I also did the same when playing around. I constantly punched and let go just to keep it prepped. It was almost a timing thing.

None of you should buy this thing because of my review, since we all know how loony I am. About the only thing you can count on is that my review is honest.

On a side note, why do i want to buy one when I have one?

Lets go for a better price than $250. Somebody MUST be able to source it or it isn't all that anyway.

I've already started contacting the maker ( http://www.sprintbooster.gr/en/) and we'll see where that goes. I also want to have someone with Radio Shack tools test it and tell us what the design is, so maybe a tuner will step up and replicate or improve on it.

Any excuse for another vacation!! Keep Roupin outta my drawers, please!!

On a real note, you mind if I share it with the rest of the SDCrew? I am especially curious to see how it performs on the E63.

I still plan to close out my week and take it off for reviews.

The source is

http://www.sprintbooster.gr/en/

I bought mine directly from Stamaktis Boulekos. Even at $300 it's a deal!
