Get the Sprint Booster from JRP in Toronto.
It's from the original manufacturer and it's way cheaper.

I used this on other cars and it's amazing.
Quickens throttle response and makes the car feel alive.

Once you try it you'll buy it!
Easy install and no issues with warranty or codes.

Would something like this disturb piggyback systems such as JB3, v3, etc?

I guess it's better than Sprint Booster......since they have 11 way to control it@@
Sprint booster is pre-setted?

I am not sure too@@
I think the price wont be cheap too like 460usd?

The Sprint Booster installs literally in seconds, as opposed to the Buddy Club unit.
Plus the price is much lower.
I can obtain the Sprint Booster for $350 CDN.

should be same thing, dont these things basically just add more "fuel" to the pedal, so the ecu automatically adjust the fuel/air ratio ? so say you pressing it half way down will = 3/4 down?

i guess it sort of is like a sport button like the e46 m3, doesnt make the car faster, but just more "sharp" in the sense of throttle response...

are ppl this lazy that they need to spend that 350 on a module just to help them press 1/3 of the throttle? seriously man, save the money and get a piggyback, that is what's more practical.

Until you try it you'll never realize what a big difference it makes.
Believe me, I've been a mechanic since 1990 and I was the biggest disbeliever before trying the Sprint Booster.
Once it's installed you'll find it hard to keep the wheels from spinning and will have a hard time removing the smile from your face.

It's a good mod for NA cars...not so much for 335i since intake/downpipe/piggyback can all improve throttle response
