Wink install pic

heres a pic

Here's a shot under the dash of the Sprint Booster installation. The plug for the accelerator is up under the dashboard: simply unplug it and insert the Sprint Booster device in its place. Then, reconnect the plug that connects to the chassis. The Sprint Booster is sandwiched between these two connectors.

Yes Tim indeed you have !!!!, interesting to note that egas with a Porsche has a Cable pedal which then separately feeds as egas unit, this is very unusual & it will fit my TT afterall

Ok its a bit of a b*i*t*c*h to fit as its really high up under the dash and behind the heater fan tube that is for warming your feet. You have to undo a philips screw and clip this tube to one side for access. You also have to lay upside down with your head in the footwell which is not especially comfortable on your back, if you happen to have carbon racing seats.

Once installed even though it was dark wet & cold its EPIC and particularly good at boosting up the Turbos early on the red setting, no doubt the best $280 I have ever spent !! The car is not hyper responsive when parking either.

very interesting. I've always heard good things from people that have them but in the back of my mind the mod gremlins always were screaming "it's an ebay resisitor +20million hp scam" even though everyone seems to like them.

I am curious as well to see how this little box will help with performance. Someone mentioned it removes the lag between the pedal and the TB and you can remove that in the ECU Map… Is that right?
Someone said it will give you more percentage of throttle for given pedal percentage… If that is true, it would only speed up opening the throttle like pressing on the gas pedal quicker but we can do that ourselves so how does that help?
If it is just a delay removal, than wouldn't it be a better idea to go with the tune; put that money you will spend on the thingymagic towards your tune or just ask your tuner for an adjustment?

Can someone please clarify, explain what is really going on?

I'm not sure how many times this needs to be repeated but IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN AMPLIFIER THAT MAKES THE THROTTLE PEDAL MORE SENSITIVE AND THEREFORE MAKES THE LAST X% OF THE PEDAL UNUSEABLE. IT INCREASES THE SENSITIVITY OF THE THROTTLE MAKING THE CAR FEEL MORE LIVELY BUT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ELIMINATING ANY LAG... It's very much like the sport button on the BMW M cars albeit much simpler since the M cars alter the throttle maps in the ECU while this gizmo just boosts the signal from the throttle pedal. With that said, I loved it on the M3 as it make the car feel much more lively even though it added zero hp.
