Sprintbooster is something similar to a buffer with convert lazy gas pedal edge rate to fast edge rate. It improves throttle response and automatic shift point dramatically. With this device, you'll find most tuning software are a waste of money.

With this device, 0-60 time should improve by at least .1 or 0.2 second.

are you really going to notice 0.1 or 0.2 of a second?



cheers

Give it a try and you know what I mean. I'm serious about 0.1 and 0.2 second difference for people like us.
Words cannot describe enough

I asked the seller and he said he only has for auto transmission.

I wonder if BoulekosDynamic.com and/or SprintBooster.gr have specific model nbr. for both auto & manual tranny (i.e. w/ or w/o "A") for our reference.

Hmm, I was told by the seller in the slkfans.com that the sprintbooster for BMW is generic for both auto and manual tranny...

Ok, I emailed the seller, and he said that cars in Asia normally comes with automatic transmision. He assured me that the sprintbooster I'm getting will be for auto tranny.

Thumbs up

Anybody know where to buy Sprint Booster other than from the guy at slkfans.com? I placed an order 3 weeks ago and for more than 2 weeks w/o any update then he refunded my money w/ out of stock as the reason.

BTW his price now is $270, which I think still a good price.

Hari,
Why do you have to pay for $40 more? That guy from www.slkfans.com sell it for $250 with shipping included. Anyway, how do you like it? Good, yeah?
