sprint booster

What are people's views on sprint boosters?

There's a few threads already running about this mate, pop it in the search box (I'd give you links but I'm posting from iPhone). They're quite a popular little gadget and a number of people on here are using them, infact I think there was a group buy not so long ago too!?!

I doubt id buy a 2nd hand 1, the amount ive read on here that have caused issues, believe when they do work on the clio there a great little mod

 

[inwardnoise]

Ive got one fitted never had any issue's and well worth the money massive improvement, money well spent in my opinion

 

[Rye197]

A massive headache for me!!

I had an issue with mine when first fitted - don't think it was attached properly. I was having a thrash with a mate in car behind and the car went into limp mode - 3 days after I'd put the Sprintbooster on : Check emissions, injection, spanner lights etc so took it off. Left it a couple of weeks, used an angle grinder on the pedal to make sure the connection was correct, put the wires totally out of the way (I suspect my foot may have tugged down on the wire when I put my foot down) and I've had no problems since it's been on for the last 5/6 weeks.

Nice addition though my MPG is even worse than it was now... :s

which version and why are you selling?

I loved mine, awesome mod and made the car feel so alive and responsive. Only reason I got rid was because the Meg engine I now have doesn't need it.

I can still get these for £160 (the Gen II)

I now own this one and it's probably the best mod so far. Makes pulling away and the average day to day driving so much better. Red mode on the other hand, is an absolute animal.

Red mode is so much fun, but really doesn't work in the rush hour drive :d
Green mode is 100x better than without and worth every penny even if you never touch red.

 

[Rogue]

Mine stays in green as well. Only used the red mode for track

Yes but we talking about kinky boots in the Red

It's more fun in red
I know what you mean around town like, it does get a bit twitchy

Day to day driving is great (green), you don't have the lag, the throttle is much more responsive.

However when driving on bumpy roads and if you run a stiff ride it's frustrating because the throttle - being so sensitive - is hard to be kept stable, obviously no problem when driving hard even though I believe that when cornering it makes the ESP kick in much easier, even when smooth on throttle. But yet again, there is no lag/lack or response when going flat out anyway so IMO sprintbooster is just for day to day driving.

I'd buy it again, the ability to turn it off is great. Btw I don't use the red option.
