I've been wanting to ask if this mod makes a big difference on A 6spd manual......anybody with the sprint booster And a manual know?
Sure does. That's why they make it for an Auto/SMG and a 6sp MT. It makes a difference, regardless of your transmission. Get it!

Very nice, its hard not to like sprint booster, my car would feel like a slug without it.
Sometimes I wish it could be turned off, its hard keeping the throttle at a low level so it doesn't lurch forward.

Got mine in the mail today! Plan to install as soon as I get home from work tomorrow. I ordered mine from cksperformance.com on e-bay from the uk. I payed like $267 shipped. A lot of members recommended a vendor from Hong Kong but he was like $75 more. I couldn't justify the extra cost for a six inch braided wire with an ECM connector. Haven't installed yet so maybe I should temper my praise, but the customer service from Chet at cks was prompt. Not sure about SMG but I would e-mail Chet at sales@cksperformance.com. I will post tomorrow after I install.
