Sprinter booster

[Megabucks38]

Anyone installed the sprint booster to the E90? If so, please share experience, very keen to find out the Malaysian experience....... For those who have not heard about SB, below is a description:What is SprintBooster? Most cars in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates how hard the pedal is pushed into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), which is also known as Drive-By-Wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed response and subdued acceleration, which can create problems in certain situations such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges and overtaking.SprintBooster overcomes this throttle response delay for your vehicle by providing crisp, on-tap acceleration for whenever the driver demands it. Get more from your vehicle, fit a SprintBooster today!Results:- At low revs, the engine responds at approximately half the time in comparison to stock. - The delay time when accelerating in 3rd and 4th gear and the engine in the mid-range, is almost zero.- Big differences in the higher rev range.- Improved response for downshifts and safer passing.- Overall safety and more fun on the road!

So many discussions on SB before la Megabucks38. Search previous posts and you'll have all the opinions. To save you time: the majority feel why spend RM1K when a heavier right foot does the same thing. Some have experienced higher FC, and one, jerky acceleration. Some like it though.
