Response time has improved to a comfortable level.
Not to jumpy.

The main difference is from 3000 rpm's and up.
Huge difference at this point!

Car feels much faster through all the gears.

Feels like there's more torque in sixth which i thought
was lacking before.

It defenitely makes the car much more fun to drive.

Can't wait to get off work and drive some more.
Ordered mine can't wait for it to get here!

Well, so far so good.
No errors.

Hello there,

Can you tell me from where did you buy it?

Thx,

I was wondering when a Sprint Booster topic would come up again.

Here is a tip to everyone who is going to install the SB.
Wait 10 minutes after you shut down the car to ensure the computer has stopped sending signals to the gas pedal.
After 10 minutes, remove the accelerator assembly and unplug the electronic throttle cable. When installing the SB make sure the metal prongs on the male adapter line up with the female connector correctly. Get it right the first time to ensure that not error codes appear.

I didn't wait 10 minutes when I first installed mine and I got an error that didn't go away even after the SB was removed and driving 50+ miles. I finally went to Advance Auto Parts and they cleared the code for me for free with their OBD II scanner. I didn't get an error after I installed it the second time when I waited 10 min.

If you end up not liking it I might take it off your hands. I ordered one last fall and tried it out for a few days and was underwhelmed. Sold it shortly afterward. I think I'll give it another chance this summer since the snow is gone.
