I don't find Porsche as a brand on either PCX or Vitesse websites. For a 2018 PTT, are we supposed to choose an Audi model?

This is a great post, after looking into the Sprint Booster I will definitely be adding one to my 2013 4S. Thanks for sharing.

I’m definitely going to have one installed in a couple of weeks when I get my new iridium spark plugs installed. I’m looking forward to seeing the difference in what’s already a very fun ride.

considering getting this for my 2012 Turbo. Question for those that have it - how does it interact with the car's existing Sport and Sport Plus modes?

If I want to go into Sport mode, and I press the car's Sport button, will it make throttle response even sharper? Or, would I need to change a setting on the Sprint Booster to make that happen? I'm hoping that once Sprint Booster is installed and configured, that there's no need to interact with it anymore.

Any info on that or other insights now that you guys have had these installed for a while would be appreciated.

I had my first one on a 4S 3.0TT and now have one on the 4.0 V8TT. Its in sport mode at level 7 for 90% of the time weather Im in S or S+. I will bump it up to Race mode 8 for extremely spirited driving.

Thanks! What happens when you have it set to level 7 and then you push the Sport button in the car? Does it become even more aggressive than level 7 in comfort mode?

Has it helped with turbo lag at all?

Thanks for your help

Im always in Sport mode in the car, rarely Sport+. I believe it helps decrease lag. Almost like a tune with out getting one

The sprint booster will only quicken throttle response at fixed rates. If the Sport mode has a slightly faster preprogrammed throttle response than comfort, it will amplify it to the same degree in each respective mode.

On my 2011 PTT with a VRTune I use Green #3 and turbo lag is gone! Lately, I've been using Sport most of the time to git-up-and-go!

I've settled on sport mode 2 for a better response in city driving.

Question on the sprint booster once I set it to sport 2 can I just take mini controller out from the sprint booster so that there is no wire? Do I take it out while car and sprint booster is on or do I take it off after I turn vehicle off? Thanks
