I just noticed two days ago that whenever I floored the accelerator, I got two error messages saying (1) Engine Fault - Reduced Power and (2) Cruise Control Failure.

Took it to the BMW dealers and found that my accelerator pedal module was the issue. But when I told them that I had a Velocity Booster installed, they disconnected it and took it for test drive, and found that the accelerator pedal module was fine and no issues.

My Velocity Booster is just over a year old.

Anyone had similar issues?

The error message as same as a bad sprint booster.

I've done some Advanced Option searching but found nothing similar... could you provide me with some insight as I'm new to this?

Do I just need to get my Velocity Booster replaced with a new one??
