project, SB doesnt make the car go faster. It just "feels" faster. you can achive the same response by flooring the gas at every stop light. many of us tend not to do that, and that is where sb comes in. think of it as trottle shortening... just slightly depress and the car jumps instantly.

Man does the car feel faster with the SB installed! Just insane how much more fun she is to drive. It really gives the impression of being connected directly to the brain. You think fast and the car jumps. Pedal pressure requirement is so decreased that the car simply leaps ahead with the most subtle input.

Yet she is still as driveable as ever, even in awful Bay Area traffic. It defies the seat-of-the pants that this thing ISN'T adding more power then the Renntech Stage 1 added, that's how much FELT power this thing imparts. I remember thinking the car made a bit more power after the Renntech mods. But after the five minute install of the Sprint Booster I am downright SCARED of the power this thing puts down.

Really an amazing difference. Don't hesitate, buy the thing off of Ebay and be prepared for an insane increase in throttle response. Even in "C" mode, the thing abosolutely FLIES...

Scary...

+1. I just got my money back from Visa. Paypal tried to wash their hands by saying he's got no money in his Paypal account so they could not help me even though they agreed it was a scam. Nice protection, Paypal!!
Not to worry, Visa pulled money out of Paypal account instead and gave me a full refund.

Just installed mine. Reminds me of my old M3 sport button, but not as sensitive. It is more like a 55 with more power down low. It feels more like a car with over 500 hp.
