Hi.
I have a 535d which has had a remap to 341BHP and 660nm torque (Photos to follow), is it worth having a sprint booster fitted now the car has been mapped or won't it make a difference?
What do you guys think?
Any experience of this?

Sure does. The Sprint Booster eliminates and leftover lag that the map didn't finish. I did it on both of my E60's and both had the SB and the difference was very noticeable.

Hi. Well, the sprint booster V2 is fitted and whoa! What a difference it makes in race mode (Red)!
It is quite noticeable on aggressive (green) but the race mode really does make the car much quicker with the remap!
I am well impressed, and i'm not exactly what you would call a mechanic, and it only took me 20 minutes to fit it.
I can feel some new tyres coming on sooner rather than later.............. Ha ha!

It definitely helps on a Diesel, because of that initial lag before the turbo kicks in. That will also apply to your Twin Turbo 535d.
I had the sprint booster on my 525d and 530d. The 530d was remapped and it still desperately needed the sprint booster.
Edit: Just noticed that you have bought the V2 Sprint Booster -- congrats, nice to see you are enjoying it

Thanks guys, the v2 is great! I know in reality it adds zero power but using the power you have seems a whole lot easier. Very trick.
This weekend I am having my roof and hood carbon wrapped!
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to upload photos on here so I can show you guys?
