Want to try out a sprintbooster in L.A
Hey guys, I really want to get a sprintbooster, and as cheap as they may be (compared to other mods) money is really tight right now, but if I really like it I'm wiling to pay for it.
Is there anyone in L.A with a SB that would work with an E55 that would be willing to meet up with me so I can try it out in my car? I'd only want to try it out for like 5 minutes, I'll probably know right away if I want it or not.
Please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

That's interesting... I haven't heard of anyone in California giving 100% money back on electronic parts that have been installed.

I had it in both of my cars... I had the original version.. NON AMG.
Basically it was more aggressive that the AMG version.
The AMG version was released later.
Basically MPG sucks... you will be driving in C mode most of the time and S mode is way to aggressive around town.
I removed it and sold it.
Now with my current set up, its just about as good as having sprint booster in S and C mode.
BTW: LET tuning runs just a few hundred more than $375 West covina charges for the Sprint Booster.
They can flash your car with a lap top. If you are So Cal.. Code3performance can do it for you.
I drove to Camarillo for my tuning and dyno session and it was set up by Code3 and LET (wayne and Jerry)

Hey W211 Beast,
I have a SB that you can try it (it's the AMG one), but I'm located in Irvine. When I come back from school I'm a little closer to LA, but prob won't go back soon, maybe 3 weeks?
Let me know man

That sounds awesome bro... I wont be getting it until June anyways (after my LSAT). I would really appreciate it if I could try it out. Ever since I've signed on to this board I've been hearing that the SB is the best bang for the buck mod. I know it doesnt help performance, but I heard it makes driving more enjoyable which is all I need.
Let me know when you're coming into town, I really do appreciate it man.
