Email Andy at sale@partsexporter.com (sale without the S). ParsExporter is his eBay store and here's the listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sprint-Boos...sQ5fAccessories

I looked at that ebay listing and found it didn't give me enough info. It said it fixes the delayed response problem. In the 3 months I've been driving my car, I've never thought my throttle had a delayed response, so I'm not sure if I'd feel the difference. Can anyone elaborate a bit more about situations where the problem is obvious (so I can try out that situation and see if I do indeed have a delayed response) ?

That description of itself as a "power converter" seems unusual. From the description it seems like it's more of a signal modifier. I'm imagining it bypassing one system which delays the throttle change signal and sending it immediately.
