Open your booster up and take a high resolution picture.
I will tell you exactly what's in it and price it out. There are what?, two or three wires on the connector it goes between? that rules out any externally powered IC's (requiring a external voltage reference) thus limiting the types of amplifiers available for use.
The company that makes this device makes one for every drive-by-wire car known to man. So it is not a "MB" thing.
If it makes you feel good do it. That's their marketing genius - they sell the sizzle - not the steak.
I wanted to add one more thing - this device now becomes a single-point-of-failure. if it goes "poof" - your crossfire goes no-where.
One more thing - if you wire two sprint boosters in series - will you get twice the "boost"?
I installed a booster a few weeks ago and the boost and instant throttle response over stock was truly unbelievable. Unfortunately, after about two weeks it malfunctioned and I needed to return it for another unit. The whole process took about two weeks and while it was back to stock, the car was much less exciting to drive. I just put the new one in today and again, unbelievable instant throttle response. It reminds me when I used to race go carts. The slightest blip of the throttle and it throws you back. I love it. I just hope this one holds up.
