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.

Here is what he sent me, hope this information helps.

Thanks for the inquiry.
Basically, you purchase the Sprint Booster.
If you are not satisfied with its performance, you may return it for a full refund. (Within 30 days from purchase.)
We carry them in stock and offer them for $375.00+tax with FREE Installation.

Please let me know if you would like to schedule an appointment for installation.

Thanks,

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.
