What vendor from this forum sells the unit?
Most people have purchased through Andy Wong from PartsExporter. Email him at sale@partsexporter.com and tell him Tony referred you. He ships from Hong Kong but it gets to you in about 2-3 days.

Hey Frank, how about reducing that sig picture to a smaller size? I can't read your posts without sliding left and right.

Got mine off E-bay. Vendor was in the UK. Cheaper than the Hong Kong vendor, but it took about 10 days to get it. I like it. Definitely less lag from a dead stop, but I still detect a slight lag if I "punch" it while cruising. Pedal is more sensitive, requires less travel, and can be a little "jumpy" if not used to it. Not sure if any of this actually translates to increased performance, but there is a noticeable difference.

Somebody should do time trials with and without the SB

What's the general consensus on the SB for manual transmissions? Any real benefit?
