Total Worth it.
take 5 minutes to install
It increases trhottle response, so that there isnt any lag when you accelerate, the car just takes off.
I was also sceptical and now would not drive without it.

Did you search on it? I wouldn't bother searching or waiting for 20 members to chime in and say yes. Just order it. Order it, install it and tell us what you think. If you hate it, sell it to another forum member. It'll take you less than 30 seconds to sell it. I'm willing to bet on it.
However, I'm willing to bet DRANGED's 550, that you will love it. If I'm wrong, you can have his car, free of charge!

well i looked at all the posts about sprint boosters, and i was very scepical.....
but bought one from the supplier here in UK, (?150)
took about 5 minuites to fit, and i cant properly hide the cables behind my pedal? a peice still sticks out?
but WOW, what a difference, the car feels so much more responsive and sharp...
very happy...do it.

you can make an offer of ?150 gbp including postage and he will accept.

I've read on another thread (but I can't find it again) that you can use the SB for automatic gearbox on a manual, because it is less aggressive. Is there a consensus on that ?
