So, Sprint Booster delivered and I have just installed it.
Doesn't do anything for the initial take off due to the turbo getting up to speed but once running, the damn thing tries to slam my spine into the back seats!
Wife has also driven it and I quote "OH MY GOD!"
Sorry chaps, no cheap ebay item...

By the way, should I remove it when taking the car for a service?

Just my opinion......I've had one for about a month now and the biggest and most pronounced thing that I feel with the Sprintbooster is the increased sensitivity of the gas pedal. I now believe the people that said all it does it fool the car into thinking you pressed the pedal more then you did. I really don't believe it changes any timing or lag type of thing with the transmission. Kind of a signal ampliflier if you will for the gas pedal. Don't get me wrong, I like it and if anyone drove my car they would probably think it was faster than one without the SB, but I have a couple of concerns around it as well (i.e. you definitely are working the car harder).
There I said it.....I know it won't be the most popular thing, but it's my honest opinion.

My Ride: 550i 2009 Mod. with tints all around. Got Splitter and Spoiler coming. May do an exhaust.
Is this place the best place to get the Sprint Booster?
