a little Sprintbooster action!

Not that this topic needs a new post, but Wow! All the good press is true - it feels like a new car!

Installed in about 5 minutes (it took me longer to locate my allen wrenches in the garage), and no error codes - just have to be careful to match up the corners of the connectors.

Thanks for all the info posted on the forum!

I just installed it about 30 minutes ago, and drove around the block a couple of times, but there is no lag when taking off from a stop - and the car just goes like it has more power. It almost makes the car feel lighter to me. I will try to describe in more detail once I get some more drive time in. Even accelerating once you're moving brings a big grin to your face; in a word - it's FUN!

True, although when my wife picked up the mail, and looked inside the box - she said "HOW much was this again?"
