My Ride: 2008 Silverstone II E60 M5 2012 E70 AW X5 50i Sport w/ LCI Aero Kit and Rocker Panels
Default

First off, I'd like to personally thank the following people for help with my latest mods...and for making me broke :

Eurocarfan
vegastrashed
freed0m
my530i

So tonight I installed the Sprint Booster. All I can say is, WOW! I am the most skeptical person when it comes to mods like this, but I have to admit that this mod is worth EVERY penny!!! For one, there is zero lag when taking off. You step on the accelerator and the car just takes off. When you drop it into 2nd, it pulls off again without any hesitation. The throttle response is just insane and it shifts very smoothly! The shifts from 3rd to 4th and beyond is fantastic as well! The car just wants to go, go go! If any of you have been considering this mod, DO IT! You will not be sorry. It's too bad BMW's don't come this way to begin with. Well, that about sums it up. Thanks to my boyz up top. You guys rock. ECF/VT - Thanks for answering my calls tonight and for helping me with install.

OK, I'm off...gotta get back out there and drive, drive, drive!

This is where I got the Sprint Booster.

Thanks to Eurocarfan for setting this Group Buy up and getting us such a discount. As an FYI, I ordered the SB on Friday afternoon. It shipped on Saturday (2 days ago). I got it this morning, here in NYC, at 10:30am. So either they work on Sunday or they flew this thing over in an F-14, because it came from Hong Kong! Talk about fast delivery. This is a great deal!

You install it yourself...or I could do it for you. It's not that bad, but getting the plug out from behind the pedal box is somewhat of a pain. As for where to get it, go back up to the top of this thread. Look at my second post and the link I threw in there. There's a GB going on for this right now. You can thank Eurocarfan for that.

Calton, sounds like you got bitten by the mod bug...
Now I am very curious what's this SB is all about. Maybe ECF wants to drive down to SoCal sometimes soon
