SB is "Make you feel good" device, so no performance gains or whatsoever.

But that is what most of us looking for

But is it worth dying for?

The gas pedal in modern BMW has 2 potentiameters for fail safe, sb has only 1 op amp. If that op amp fails or becomes erratic, do u knows for sure what will happen? If u r lucky, the engine might just cut off, on the other hand, it might go full throttle. And if that caused an accident and serious injury / death as a result....

Sorry to be a spoil sport folks, might be it's just me who worry too much but best to know exactly what u r putting urself in For

well if this SB device if faulty, then I think the US people will take that company to the court by now.
they have been making this for many of years and for many other cars too
The SB has won SEMA award-winning performance upgrade
