Sprint Booster Question
Hi all-
I have a questions for those of you that have adopted the Sprint Booster. I have an 04 996 TT Tip. I am intersted in the purchasing an SB, however I haven't been able to get a simple question answered.
Does the current model SB, (2010) allow you to select the 'mode", i.e., green, red, off? I believe the version for a manual transmission does, but unsure about the tiptronic version.
The SKU i found is: SBPO0032S. This is for all 01-05 996 tippys. One of the various websites that sell them indicated that this a 'non-selectable' version. I haven't been able to confirm this.
Also, I am slighty confused on pricing. I have see them for $299 and $329. Is the $329 the selectable model?
Can someone please clarify?
Thanks-
Beavis

Interesting, but the sprint booster link isn't very clear either. They detail the functions of the selection modes, but under the Tiptronic "Buy Now" square it says "non-selectable only" in small print. If it's true that there is no selectable version for Tip cars, that would be a show-stopper for me. Seems weird though, because this device affects the drive-by-wire throttle, not the transmission, so why should there be a difference?

- Does it make any sense for a C2 manual?
- Is it interchangeable with another vehicle? (i.e. if I don't like it on the 996, can I put it on a BMW 3 series)

Sprint Booster- thanks. You have answered my questions. I will place my order today!
Stavroskon- thanks for the pics. Do you find yourself switching modes? I was kinda thinking that I would leave it in "red" mode. On the rare occasion that my wife would drive it, I would probably just turn it off (valet mode).
Others? do you find yourself switching between sport and race and off programs? I ask the question in the context of where to install the switch.
