The next day, forgetting that it was off, I almost pulled over thinking I had a flat tire.
Driving it now, without the Booster-normal throttle, is like driving thru mud.

The roads are clear again, so I switched it back on. My Altimax Arctics are going on soon.
Interesting, I had heard of modules that could remap the throttle. My boxster has Sport Chrono, so has that feature as well. I wouldn't have expected it on a fit, but I suspect it's even more desirable on something like that than it is on the boxster.
