Angry Sprint Booster Issue

I installed the Sprint Booster and it worked well for the first 75 miles or so. Now it has a MAJOR hesitation and when I push hard on the gas, the car will not move at all. I removed the Booster and it runs as it did before I installed the Booster. I believe I received a defective Booster. What does anyone think???

Sounds defective. Get it replaced.

I think the Sprint Booster is a cheesy gizmo.

Nothing more then a shock collar to be used by owners who can't control their dog.

Take it off and train that puppy right! It as the ability to learn.

I had a very similar problem with mine and it was the sprint booster which was replaced by the company I purchased it from and have had no problems with the new one.

Did you have to send the original one back first and have them test it or did they take your word for it and just ship another one?

First of all I suggest you get a replacement booster. I installed mine a few weeks ago and no problems for more that a 1,000 miles.

As for the comment "Cheesy Gizmo" are you saying that based upon having installed one and experienced the difference or just a comment with no idea what you are talking about and nothing to base it upon ??

Are you sure you got the one for the AMG motor and not just a plain auto car?

Yes, it is for the SRT-6 Auto (AMG) version. I double checked this during the order process as well as when I received it.

I had to send the other one back and then they sent me a new one. Mine came from the company that makes these (Boulekos Dyanamic) in Greece not a distributor so I dealt with the owner of the company. They acted very quick and sent the new one right away. I was very happy with there service.
