I dunno. I thought it was $325 from Andy. I could be wrong. But I did the currency conversion wrong anyway. sorry I have been having a few too many beers since this morning. I used pounds instead of Euros.

+1 all the rave reviews here interest me, but it would be a pain to remove when I go to the dealer. Like the above said, I could be persuaded because the delay from when I step on the gas to when the car really starts to move is annoying - I must've read Vlad's review of the Booster 3 times this morning.

no warranty issues, a LOT of members have an SB without problems, some even leave it installed when they take their car in for service to the dealer.....

im sure the answer to this question has been written 100 times... does it record any errors to the computer? do i need to purchase one of those tools that resets the codes?

my car has 1000 miles on it... i cant really risk voiding the warranty.

if its risk-free, i'm in for the gb.

There have been a couple of isolated instances where people have gotten error warnings after the install that did not go away and they brought their car to the dealers to reset but the dealer did not know anything was previously installed.

The more common but still relatively rare problem is when people mis-align the connectors and bend a pin cause error warnings as well. But once it's connected properly, the warnings go away. I have not read of any instances where the dealer detected the SB and gave any users any problems.
