Default S Type R, sprint booster

Just to let people know, I am having Sprint booster build me one of their modules for my S Type R. This should be ready mid august and that means they are offering it as part of their line up. I am not selling this I am just letting owners know that they can finally purchase this product. For people not farmiliar with this product, it allows for faster communication of the electronic throttle control.

What makes you think that such alleged faster communication is needed?

Mate, honestly!!! people that market this absolute rubish should be shot or hung or both.......they are basically mugging you!!! throttle resposnse which is what this piece of junk claims to improve is measured in milli-seconds on drive by wire throttle.......this claims to half it??!!! i defy anybody short of Lewis Hamilton to notice an improvement.....

My advice......save your money!!!!

Sorry mate, but theese companies annoy the poo out of me!!!!

Just trying to save a fellow Jag owner from wasting some money........would be better off buying a widget to make the windows roll down faster, so that an arm can be rapidly flapped (in the style of a golden eagle) in an effort to increase the 0-60 sprint!!!

..........and relax!!! lol.

Easy guys wtf are you taking this out on me for, you don't have to buy the product. Instead of complaining to me why don't you pass your comments then to the company. Oh yeah I forgot ecu tunning doesn't work either I guess

What you first described is not even vaguely in the same category as ECU "tuning" (by which I suspect you mean remapping).

The former appears to be snake oil. The latter might "work" depending on how "work" is defined.

If you think the former is meaningful why not say why i.e. justify yourself.

Tquaife,

Not taking this out on you just trying to protect and educate you. Honestly no harm meant, just don't want people wasting their dollars. As JagV8 has said this thing is not even in the same realms as proven re-mapping. I've worked in the automotive industry for 15 years now under BMW and specifically as a parts quality manager in the electrics and electronics division so have come across many companies like this selling so called "improvements". and as for complaining to the company direct.....absolute waste of time as they are obviously selling these things.......once!!! as if you bought one you would'nt do it again!!!

.........i'll stand corrected if you find someone that has bought one and can notice a difference.

again just trying to help, but its your cash at the end of the day!!!!

Damien.
