Any thoughts? Its supposed to be better than Sprint Booster which seems to be everyone's favourite at the moment
Someone needs to sell this integrated with the M5 shifter as a retrofit kit! Sport button, 4 levels of sensitivity... yum!

I have just retrofitted the SAT shifter with the SPORTS button on my LCI, and I love the drive once the SPORTS button is activated, coupled with driving in DS.

Do you guys think any of these devices (Sprintbooster, Tunekit, Pivot, Velocity etc) will improve the drive further if installed?
