Anyone tried the Sprintbooster

Seems pretty expense for something that was once accomplished by putting a smaller cam on the throttle body. I can think of many other worthwhile upgrades for $300.

In 6 months there will be a hacked version on ebay for $20.

The 986/996 use a potentiometer that is separate from the pedal assembly while the 997/987 cars use a lighter setup where the potentiometer is integrated into the pedal assembly. So even if you had the $$ to throw away, the connectors on the two setups are different so the 987/997 sprintbooster won't work on the 9x6 cars.

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

I'd like to add one other observation to this post. I noticed the hesitation on my '02 Box S from day one, especially on heel/toe down shift blips. After installing an Evo Hi-Flo air filter, secondary cat bypass pipes and a sport muffler, that hesitation is virtually non-existent. I think letting the engine breath a little better has cured most of that hesitation, as opposed to an e-gas problem.

Perhaps an expert could chime in on my findings?
