Got the new SPV2 and installed it.
the felling is the same as my old SB at the red light but now I can turn it off when my dad drives the car.

It has 3 settings
1. red light for maximum acceleration (the best setting)
2. green light fro medium acceleration (would not use it)
3. no light which is off

the install is same as the old SB and only takes 5 mins to install
it has a long cable with a button to control the 3 setting which I have stuck it under the dashboard

if you what to buy 1 you can pm brabusw209amg for a price and shipping
he is very good and helpful

So do these things REALLY make a big difference? Worth it? Not too familiar.

I have the SB V1 now and should have my SB V2 by the time I return from my current road trip. I like knowing I have the ability to turn it off. I need to have my SB in cause it does make a big difference. Will be selling my SB V1.

Folks with the MT, post some reviews. IT WOULD BE GREAT if someone with Dinan ECU remap or other remaps to write a review AND has MT. Last time I in stalled the SB V1 and the Velocity, I felt like my head was being slammed into the seat. I hated it. Just love the design of the SB V2!!!

I'd love for this to work- my car has a real lag especially at lower RPM (2500) upshifts. The dealer thought it was the traction control defeating throttle position - but I don't and it continues to get worse. There is lag (maybe a second) or non-linearity that is really annoying and makes the car less awesome. I'd love for the SB to work but I am reluctant, especially if it's the ECU (not the throttle actuator) that is the problem.

Others?
