+1.

but.....sprint booster + sport mode may be too sensitive

Leeladisky

Agreed, but interested to know if it eliminates or exacerbates the problems in the transmission....I'm desperate to resolve the very dramatic shift lag. I had a pro race driver friend tell me that driving in my car was "wholly uncomfortable" in light of the shift lag and surge.

Not this again...

Thanks! Very helpful....still don't know if it's worth it and certainly unknown if it will make things worse. Lol

Thanks for the info.

Clearly a waste of money. Pressing the accelerator pedal a bit further produces an identical result. I'll save my money for real enhancements.

Its not. On the S6 it will probably do something horrible in the Sport mode that will incrase a chance of an accident in tight spaces.

Just imagine flooring it in S mode while parking or manuvering through a parking lot full of people.

LOL! Go over to Planet-9 and you'll see almost universal positive feedback for the current model (2 mode) Sprint Booster for the 987 cars (Boxster/Cayman).

For a heel-toe on the accelerator driver, it makes a world of difference in the responsiveness of the throttle. It really gives the Porsche a different personality.

Does it add power? No. They make no claims to this.

Can similar results be achieved by mashing the accelerator pedal? Possibly. But

Is it snake oil? I don't think so.

Is it worth the $300? That's purely subjective. The least I could spend on an ECU flash is a grand, and to get 10 WHP and torque. Power I would likely not feel very much. $300 was an inexpensive way to make my 987 more fun.

I have an 01 B5 A4 1.8T w/APR Stage 1 and am going to try out a Sprint Booster in it too. 30 day money back, not much risk IMO.

I'm thinking the same thing... and also wondering if it's another way that the dealer can try and get out of warranty work. I complained about a front end/suspension snap about 60 days ago, just after I purchased the car. After the dealer made an attempt to fix it, I put spacers on the car. Three days after the spacers were on the car, I brought it back for the same snap which had already gotten worse (before the spacers, and I notified the dealer). Thinking ahead, I brought in the receipt for the spacers and made sure to tell them to check the repair history so they see I complained about the problem BEFORE the spacers... Do you know they STILL mentioned the spacers and said they were doing me a favor making a 2nd attempt? I said HORSE__IT... now my 3rd attempt for same problem and I've pulled the spacers off just so they have LESS of an excuse to just turn me away... lol.
