Sprint Boost v3

Hi Folks
I decided to purchase this item for my car, and thought I would share my review. I believe the manufacture clearly states " feels " faster, this item offer no HP changes.

Installed 2/10/2017 Model # SBPO0033s (ver3) on 2001 996 C2 Triptronic Coupe

First impressions 1-10 8+. It feels faster, It also appears to move the shift point higher in automatic mode, before was 32-3700rpm, now it seems to be just over 4-4200rpm, It seems the car moves into the power band of 4k rpm. Seems quicker from zero to 60. its not, but it gets up. You can feel the difference between 3 modes, Off, Sport mode and Race mode. Now I have not mashed the pedal down, but who does around town ? but after a loop in the same area, it is pretty awesome.

Now is it worth the $320 ? IMHO Yes. The Car feels quicker out of the gate. Considering that's why we buy/drive a Porsche, that seems reason enough. Cold Air Intakes are about the same price, Flash your chip is probably double. So this seemed like a reasonably priced widget.

I have attached a picture where I mounted the device. out of the way but able to adjust with ease. When “off”, it blends in with the console.

Side Note: when wifey asks > whats that? I can say with confidence that it is designed to help get better gas mileage.. which is kinda true... when off completely the throttle body opens slower, so mileage is improved, as apposed to race mode 9. Hey I am riding the fence. but I dont have to explain why I need my car to "feel" faster for $300.

Good luck to all, I'll probably start some mass controversy, so buy it, try it, create your own opinion, and return it. Heck I might return it, its only been 3 days for me to experiment.
