So I got my sprint booster V2 a while back and loved it from day one. I never had to put the pedal all of the way down because of my new throttle response so i never had a problem until recently. I was having some fun driving with some friends and pushed the car all the way to the redline, immediately after the A/C and radio shut off for a half second then i got bombarded with warning lights, loss of power steering and my speedometer zeroed out even though i was going about 70mph at the time. A few cycles of the engine and all the warnings were gone, but now whenever i take the car even above 5,000 RPM i get the same promlems?! I removed the sprint booster and am still getting the same problem without it. Has anyone had a similar problem or have any ideas about how to fix it? I'm out of warranty so not really wanting to spend a few hundred at the stealership if its a simple problem.

I'll leave this one to the experts, but i remember reading another thread with a similar issue. I don't see how this could be related to using a SB. Keep us posted and good luck.

The only thing that has changed that recently with my car is the SB, that's why i'm thinking that's where the problem is
. I'm keeping it disconnected for the time being, but i feel so on edge whenever i drive my car so i don't get the errors its driving me crazy!!

Hmm thanks for the info, I hope it's not that serious of a problem though. I did the same thing earlier today and only got the dynamic drive malfunction light, i guess thats an improvement
. I'm just going to give it some more time without the sprintbooster right now to see how things progress
