Just an FYI, I was told about this from someone at mbworld.org

http://www.partsexporter.com/mbworld

That price includes shipping.

 

Aaw man. I just bought from that guy on eBay for $300.

 

Ok, I just purchased the sprint booster. I hope it was the correct one for a SRT.
Sprint Booster BDD451A2 for AMG
Automatic Transmission

 

I received this e-mail today from CHUAN KUO TRADING CO LTD located in Taipei, Taiwan and they are a dealer for Boulekos.

Dear Robert,

Many thanks for your inquiry.
Part number: BDD451A
Model: Chrysler Crossfire
Year: ALL
Type of Engine: All engines.

Price:
1 pc= 170 Euro or $230 USD
5-10 pc = 165 Euro or $225 USD

Shipping cost:
10 Euro or $14 USD
p.s. if you order more than 1 pc; the shipping cost will still the same.

Looking forward to hear you soon.

Many thanks,

 

I got the same pricing from "CHUAN KUO TRADING CO LTD located in Taipei, Taiwan" But I could not pay with CC or paypal. Not willing to do a bank transfer overseas.

Spoke with a few people I work with that goto Taiwan sometimes and they said stay away from someone that would not take a CC.

He may be legit but I am not willing to roll the dice on him.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I just bought one, hopefully it is legit.

 

JUST HAD MY EMAIL RETURNED THIS CAN'T BE A GOOD SIGN. BUT, MY PAYPAL BILLING WENT THROUGH.

HEY CROSSFIRE LTD...Do you have an email address to the person that responed to you.

 

Well I bought through that guy, and at least 2 other people did too. He shipped mine quickly and came quick. But that still doesn't mean he's 100% legit, it could just been a build up to scam 12 items. A quick 3 grand.

 

I just received my Sprint Booster in the mail from PartsExporter, super fast shipping from Hong Kong (1 week). I would have to agree that it is kind of a let down when you open the package and all you see is a small box that I paid $250. Hopefully it does wonders like everyone says. I will install tomorrow...

 

Yea, its what i thought too. The pictures when i bought it were of the box, and i opened it up, and thought WTH!. Its just a chip with 2 plugs to put it in-line with your gas wires. I really felt the difference the first day, now i think I got used to it. But it is still way better then without it. Be careful though around turn, you will find yourself accelerating a lot faster.

 

Looks like he figured it out... Clicking on his link now auto-redirects to his ebay auction.

 

I think he just ran out, and he's redirecting to his ebay store. He doesn't have a real site i don't think.

 

Anyone gotten theirs for a manual ? I know he was waiting to get an order in last week for them.

I am still waiting, he set my expectations af sometime late this week or next.

Thanks,

Mike

 

I ordered mine on 4/25. I hope I ordered and hope he shipped before he ran out, cause he did get paid through paypal.

 

Yea i meant he ran out of the special deal. He was only offered 15 to MB, and i'm sure a couple for the XF guys snatched a few.

 

Question: Has anyone attempted to reverse engineer these things yet? I bet we could build a knock-off for a lot less than $300.

 

You got the softer automatic version (BDD451A2 vs. BDD451A) it seems that Boulekos Dynamic has created several Automatic versions, possibly for the MB/SRT AMG Automatic variant that requires a less radical acceleration curve.

Did you tell the Seller what Xfire type you had? If so, I would imagine that the seller verified that what you ordered was the correct version for your SRT Crossfire.

I also went the EBAY method and was quite pleased with the shipping and product! Actually missed the delivery on a Saturday, but they delivered on a Sunday! Sweet! Been happy ever since!

Just installed the Sprint Booster, a totally different car. Almost scared me the first time I pressed the pedal the response was so much faster. I would recommend the side panel install over removing the nut, washer and pedal. I just slid the panel down and installed the unit.

 

I had a manual version, it was really hard to control, I hated the thing. I like the stock settings best.

 

Might I suggest the "Milk of Manesia" version.

Just Kidding... Many users have found the Manual version way to aggressive, and have switched to the Automatic version.

There is another AMG version that is less aggressive than the Automatic as well!
