when people are selling their sprint booster? so that mean sprint booster is not good to keep?
The SB works but is not for everyone. It makes the accelerator more jumpy and you have to work harder to accelerate smoothly with it on in low gears.

Check the DIY threads. It takes about five minutes for the SB. No error messages unless you install it backwords. Just look at the pins carefully in the pics and do yours the same way. Seriously, it's a total plug and play. Most of that five minutes is cramming the wire under the carpet. All you need is a 5mm Allen wrench to remove the gas pedal.
