Guys, I'm close to finalizing the details of a group buy with PartsExporter. Should know by Tuesday.

I just got two Sprint Boosters from PartsExporter (one for me and the other for a friend here), and he's the best merchant I've ever deal with. Best follow up and very fast shipping. He's the first one I'd recommend on my list. Although shipping from HK, it takes only 3 business days to receive it
Email him and ask for Automatic version.
Check here for Sprint Booster

Attention Fred AKA my530, our resident electronic guru:

Can you fabricate a Bypass switch, inline between the SB and ECM connectors, to turn it on and off(normal)?
A little idiot light LED to tell the status would help also. Thanks.
Will you re-consider my request Fred?

I've got a 2006 530i step auto, it became very noticeable post-installation. Sprintbooooster makes normal D drive mode as responsive as stock DS drive mode, and make DS , well,... very responsive.

It is very worth it.

Highly recommended.
I have it and love it BUT driving on the freeway is a b#*@!. I can't seem to get the car to drive smoothly. Any of you guys have the same problem?

I have the automatic version and it's perfect either around town or on freeway. No jerky at all. If your SB has black wire cover, it's could be manual version. If your SB as red wire cover, it's could be automatic version.
I had the one with black cover one before and it was too sensitive. Did slkfans sold me the manual version? I got two from PartExporter and they have red wire wrap/cover. The sensitivity and response is just Perfect. Best mod with reasonable price.

Regarding Riezbel request, I'm investigating it Chance is very slim because if there was millisecond of signal interruption between TPS and ECU, some error code would be thrown on you.

Fred,

I thought the "A" at the end of the p/n denotes for Auto or not?
