sprint booster install
 
I am trying to install a sprint booster in my 07 boxster, the manufacturers instructions are simple, just unplug the wiring harness from behind the accelerator peddle and place the booster in line. Simple!...But I can't for the life of me unplug the connector behind the peddle. Has anyone else ever unplugged this? If so what is the trick? I have pulled, wiggled, tugged, pried and it just won’t budge. Any help would be appreciated.

You are wrong. It does increase throttle response quite a bit and it's not about pushing the pedal to the floor.

shmelvin, I have a complete write up on Rennlist.com.

Go to the site, click on Boxster and Boxster S and then do a search for jwade or sprintbooster and it will show you my install with pictures.

987 shouldn't be a whole lot different than my 986.

got it
 
I figured it out…you have to remove the entire peddle assembly..Not difficult, 1 screw and pull up and out, then you push a small flat screwdriver up the back end and it slid right off.
The other instructions online showed installing under the dash, but this (once I figured it out) was a 2 minute install.

Yes, it is right under the dash. Glad you were able to get it installed.

Let me know your thoughts....I like mine.

actually this was on the back of the accelerator peddle.

I like snake oil
 
What’s wrong with Snake Oil? If nothing else it must be a lubricant..If I choose to piss my money away on goofy toys it’s my prerogative, Christ I spent more on dinner Friday night than I did for this thing and it was a bit of a challenge to install so I figure I got plenty of entertainment value. So let’s just add it to all the other useless things I have installed..Exhaust, Intake, DRL’s, sticker on the inside of the rear spoiler, MP3…it keeps me off the streets and out of the crack houses…thank you very much…
