What's the deal with the "no light" "green light" and "red light" on this? I don't see it on the instructions. Is it a push button mounted somewhere?

Also, are the Sprint Booster and Power Box safe? I'm just worried what if they short out or something and lock you into full throttle mode.

I choose the V2 because of all the people here who really like it...in The Netherlands these devices are not common, so I have no experience with them nor do people around me...One buddy over here has a V1 and he told me about it...Since Brabusw209amg sells them on this forum, and people seem to like them, I am willing to have a go

powerbox adds 10 hp and 10 ft lb of torque AND also gives you the throttle remapping like the sprint booster or velocity booster and it is also cheaper than the sprint booster or velocity IIRC

Well, the neck-snapping acceleration produced by the SB has been known to cause whiplash, increased blood pressure, heart attack and stroke -- and premature smile lines.

I just installed my SB2 from Jhon "Brabus" and have not had a go because of BATTERY DRAINED...its on the charger now! Cant wait!!!
Question: where have you guys put the "box" it wont fit behind accelorator? for now it kind a sits to the right of foot, but too close imo.
Heres a few shots from last night after some hard elbow greese...
