Researching in putting a ' Sprint Booster ' in my Stock 996 Carrera 2 (XLF option installed ). Anyone who has put one on , feedback would be great

I've had on for years, almost always on the green setting. In a nutshell it accelerates the rate the throttle butterfly opens making the motor respond to throttle inputs quicker. Liken it to automatic handicap doors, no matter how fast you push the button the door takes 10 second to full open, with the SB you can cut that down to 5 seconds on green or 2.5 on red.

This past Sunday I installed my Feal Coil overs. Only had time to do the fronts. Nice improvement over stock.

How much NVH? What are your spring rates?

Brilliant. This is why I love this forum.

I have had mine for about a year. Really like the instant throttle response. Will never go back. Transforms the car IMO.

A panel under the front. Hey, I don't know who did it! Probably my wife! That figures. It couldn't have been me! Maybe the mechanic didn't reattach it correctly. Nah, probably the Russians, they are invading you know, probably will start with stealth damage to 911s. Ok, ok, more honestly: daily driver - nuf said.

^^^ Ouch... Repair? Or time for a new one? This fiber filled plastic stuff is a pain to repair - I've done it a few times, but it's difficult and usually winds up cracking/breaking again (doesn't last very long either). Fortunately that piece isn't prohibitively expensive
I just finished my first 4k mi. oil change on my FSI 3.8 Stage II motor (Driven GT1 15w-40)... Ready for the Snowflake Rally next week!

The only way to fix it IMHO is reinforce it with some galvanized sheet steel and pop rivets. But I am not yet ready to use such patched / degraded parts on this fine car. It (996 575 161 01) looks like $74.03 at Sunset which isn't too bad. Oh well.

^^^+1 I agree that part is cheap for Porscheland. Shop around the part number with some Google fu. Several vendors have the piece for $70ish, but some gouge on shipping.

How much lower does the car sit with them installed? Do you have a before/after pic?

I set the front at 26" (ground to top of wheel arch) but they can go much lower or a little higher.
