OK, don't kill the messenger.....I installed a Sprint Booster last nite in my 2001 Cab/Tip.
First impressions.....Better than sex? NOT! But darn good! As others have said makes the car feel like a new, more spirited car, and yes more fun to drive !

Woo - woo!!!! Knew you'd like it...I think it's good bang-4-the-buck even though some may be put off by it's price tag for such a tiny 'thing'. I love mine... I now summon the 911 Antibodies to come out and take their hands form their faces for moment and spew some disparaging remarks then shuffle-walk back to their holes...

Yesterday put on my 02' 4S Tiptronic the sprint booster by boulekos dynamic(http://www.boulekosdynamic.com/eng/index.asp). The instalation time was about 10' min. The second gen of sprintboosters has a control unit to change between 3 diferents programmes .SPRINT BOOSTER is manufactured in Greece and it’s been exported to more than 30 countries around the world for the last five years. when you put it on....... you said wowowowwoow..... makes tiptronic cars downshifting like a 2010 PDK. It's the best mod... the feeling is about gain 30-40 hp or lose weight about 300kgr....Sprint booster is the only way for the tiptronic cars to wake up

Would you need it on a manual? Why not just downshift?

I think you misunderstand what this thing does. It adds no horsepower or performance. All is really does is change the throttle map for your car to make the throttle react more aggressively to throttle inputs.

I don't own one, but I believe it has three setting. More info here;

With this little thing plug in, it's like you drive a new car. You can't describe what happens with just words, you must drive one with sb and one without to feel the diference and the diference is huge. This think dont add hp but give you the feeling that it does.....Believe me i am very happy with this mod because my tiptronic car become more fun to drive.

I know this post is from 2009, but that has to be one of the funniest comments I've read on this forum, and everybody thinks they're a comedian around here.

Fly by wire guys must be all the same.
Would be funny to see somebody claim to the police his gizmo he just installed made him speed.
Riding the 400 lb 170hp bike with a 1/4 turn throttle tonight was the only sprint buster type of thing I'll ever ride with.
Hehehe Califonia would probably outlaw this sprint buster thing.

Put one on my 550. It was a huge difference!

Very cool upgrade for Automatics.

I put one in my 997 and I love it. It's similar to the effect of the 'sport' button, or a reflash by making the throttle more sensitive.
