Sprint Booster 2000 996 C4 4/Sale

Sprint Booster 2000 996 C4 4/Sale

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thirty Four days ago, I purchased this item from Ebay and paid $320. The product was $295 and the rest was for taxes. When I bought it, I checked with the seller (DR Automotive) and confirmed it is for the 2000 996 C4. I was not able to install it into my car because I was working in Phoenix and my mechanic was in Vegas for SEMA. I had several upgrades for my car including a CAI (EVO) to install so I thought I'd have it done all at once. Last night they installed the CAI, and when he went to install the Sprint Booster, he determined that my 996 was an early model and did not have the throttle system that came in the later 2000 996s, therefore, the Sprint Booster will not work in my Porsche. The seller is refusing to take it back, due to the fact that their return policy is thirty (30) days and I paid for mine 34 days ago. Anyway, my loss is someone else's gain. It is brand new and never installed in a car. I will take $280 and I will pay shipping. I do have a PayPal account if that is convenient. Below, is a description of the Sprint Booster. If you purchase it online through E-Bay, it will cost you $320.

What is SprintBooster?

Most cars in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates how hard the pedal is pushed into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.

The ETC (Electronic Throttle Control), which is also known as Drive-By-Wire, has the unfortunate downside of delayed response and subdued acceleration, which can create problems in certain situations such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges and overtaking.

SprintBooster overcomes this throttle response delay for your vehicle by providing crisp, on-tap acceleration for whenever the driver demands it.

• At low revs, the engine responds at approximately half the time in comparison to before.

•Big differences in the higher rev range.
•Improved response for downshifts and safer overtaking.
•Fits all manual, automatic, petrol,and diesel models.
•Overall safety and more fun on the road!
