Default Re: Installed Sprint Booster (A2 model) - Review

Simon,

Install wasn't so bad, eh? Sure is a shame that a lot of people went through the magnet hassle and pedal removal...

I wish I could compare an A2 to a regular A version - would like to see if there is much of a difference.

As for co-workers - my co-worker owns an SRT roadster. He drove my car and immediately came inside, got on ebay, and ordered one.

How did the SB change the shifting, which is controlled by the ECU?

Would you say that the SB has just shortened (compressed) your gas pedal, making your XF a little more "squirrelly", and now you are driving a little more aggressively?
If you push your pedal leisurely, a little at a time, will your 0-60 be as good as if you slam the pedal? That is how the sprint booster MAY help 0-60 (I haven't tested the 0-60 before/after yet).

I continually see you saying that you can simply 'mash' the gas pedal and achieve the same effect. Being someone who mashes the gas pedal frequently, it is not the same effect.

You need to try one. I offered to ship mine to you just to get your opinion and you declined. I don't work for the place, I don't sell them, or get paid to advertise for them - I just like the product and think you probably would too.
