Too bad I couldnt work this one into the budget. Combo kit will certainly be on my winter shopping list.

Did your scoop come with the Black RPI logo or did you color that in? I wish my scoop had a black logo. ![Frown](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/sad.gif)

My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV

I met up with Joe from Trinity last Sunday (thanks a lot Joe) and I asked him for a black one. He installed it in like 5 mins, perfect.
I do notice a difference on the freeway, but it made it glaringly obvious, I NEED A SPRINT BOOSTER!!!

Doesn't the Sprint Booster just make it "feel" faster?

Not really, it is supposed to speed the response of our drive-by-wire systems to the computer making the car react as quickly as your foot without the delay.

Therefore making it "feel" faster. It doesnt actually add any horsepower or torque. Does it?? ![Think](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/think.gif)

Nope, no HP gain, just a BIG difference in responsiveness (according to the reviews, I don't actually have one yet)
Are there any consequences?
maybe less MPG, or engine life span?
