Alrighty.. I didn't believe some of the guys here who swear on that thing but I got mine today and installed it.

Verdict: HOLY SH*T!! It's like driving a whole new car with 100HP more! Unfortunately, I'll have to take her out again bc I doubt it's a good thing to drive that in the snow lol

Def. worth the investment. got it on here used for 260 shipped. This thing is nuts!

Just for the other viewers, this device DOES NOT give any sort of hp gains, it just cleans up the signal going from the pedal to the computer, hence resulting is smoother/faster respone.

I think I am going to do this upgrade myself throttle Lag FTL

yeah no HP gains but it feels like you're gaining 100HP. the acceleration and response is unbelievable! You basically have to learn how to dive the car all over since my "lead" foot was used to the old gas behaviour but now just tapping the pedal is awesome i think in spring when i'll put it back in it'll take maybe a couple days to getting used to the increased response etc. but well worth it.

I honestly didn't think this would have that kind of punch.

LOL!!!! I love these posts. R - Can you do me a favor and post this thread on X5World? I got bashed on X5World by the old farts who believe that the SB is a total scam.

Congrats. Glad you're loving it.
