Congrats Rody! That's great stuff. Yeah, his delivery was insane. It takes longer to get across mid-town Manhattan, than compared to this part coming from HK which took under 48 hours to NYC.

C.....the delivery on yours was even more amazing than mine. They were both shipped the same day and even though SoCal is technically closer to HK than NYC is, it took mine 24 hours longer than yours to get in.

Are their different models of sprintbooster..for example witll a 550 smg sprintbooster work with a 530 steptronic?
. just buy a new one for 250 that is compatible with your car steven. i got a story to tell everyone. so last night, me, ImSortaBigDeal and Nerwezzy were hanging out. I asked Nerwezzy if I could try his sprintbooster out. He said about how the service light appears when the SB is on his car b/c the SB he bought was for a 550 SMG (Bing), but it still worked for Nerwezzys 530. so we drove to his house to try it on my car. After installation, I turned on the car. The car was acting all crazy. The revs were bouncing and the car was knocking. In addition, the service light went on and the Emission light on. I was freaked out. So I removed it.
The end of this story is my car is fine now, no check engine lights are appearing, except for the angel eyes problem i have :thumbsdown:
I still question if I should buy the SB after this experience.

If you have your key in ignition, on, engine on, etc, it'd cause issues. Also, if one of pin got bent or plugged improperly, you'll have issue, too.
