Queries related to Sprint Booster
Hey folks, just want to know how much difference would the sprint booster make on a BMW 320d E90 LCI AT? Does it decrease the 0-100 time at all? And can it be used along side a remap(Superchips)
Regards, Aditya. |

Not in a direct answer to your questions, but I will say that I have one of these on my 2006 325i and it makes a HUGE difference in seat of the pants performance. I haven't done any specific timed tests, but there is a monstrous difference when it is turned off and when it is set to race - which it always is - of course. Well worth the money IMO.

Does nothing but change throttle response. Adds 0 HP.

It would make ZERO difference on a dyno or race times. Feels like an adolescent boy's first time on a hooker. Blows way too early, then faaaaaaart.
Gives you Toyota pedal. |

But when you are driving a 0-60 run, normally you give 100%

Hmmm Thank you all for the replies... Just wanted to know one more thing, can it be used if you already have a RaceChip or Engine Remap? Would it be safe to do so?

That I know... Got to know the same from the description of SB and above comments... Just want to know how much of acceleration(FTD, 0-100, etc) difference does it make on a DIESEL 3er and want to know whether it would be fine or not to use it alongside a RaceChip or an aftermarket remap!?

i had one of these i my e46 330ci , i always used it on the middle setting, it DOES remove some of the auto gearbox lag. I have heard if you use it with a remap that alters the gearbox/EGS settings you might find the the right peddle FAR to sensitive, hope this helps. I now have a diesel aswell and a tune would be much more beneficial as you can get more out of a tune than on a petrol N/A car.
