Ok, if you are serious about buying a SB right now, please PM me so I can see if we have 5 or so to negotiate with. I'll let you know what it will do to the price.

PS - I don't sell them or anything.......I'm just trying to see if we can have a win/win with Andy or another SB seller.

Thanks!

how's the throttle response of the sprintbooster while engaged in DS mode on the steptronic? the throttle response in DS mode seems quick enough.

I purchased from Andy Wong (HK guy) and installed mine last Sunday, 4/13/08. No error codes or warning messages popped up at all. No issues that kwang or other members described during the install. One thing to consider, make sure the pins aren't bent and match up the numbers inside the SB housing with the accelerator housing.

My mpg has gone down from 23.3 to 22.8 so far. I know that it'll go down some more in the days/weeks/months to come.

I know I'm mentally challenged, but

How is driving in D with sprintbooster different from driving in DS mode?
People say:
D + sprintbooster = no lag, faster shifts
DS mode = no lag, faster shifts
Maybe we all have a sprintbooster installed and accessed in DS mode.

Haven't been able to install mine as car is in service for a while.
Just wondering out loud.
Thanks for any input.
