Also the SB cannot be seen by the computer because it does not report to it and it can't be seen by the tech who by the way if he did see it would probably think it belonged there.
If the car did have EDR it would be very easy to identify if the Sprint Booster had been installed. The information that I have read on the Sprint Booster is that it is integrated signal amplifier that will shift the throttle response curve making it more reactive. All a person would have to due is compare the throttle response times with and with out the Sprint Booster to the data stored in the EDR.
