HAS ANYONE INSTALLED A SPRINT BOOSTER?

I am interested to install a Sprint Booster on my CL600. Has anyone done so and if yes, what is your opinion. Also, how difficult is the installation?
Thanks

Actually I have done it.
Ask for AMG version, that one is for AMG and V12 engines.
Installation is very easy, one trick is to unscrew pedal assembly (one 10 mm bolt) and plug the baby in.
That is it.
I have no idea how this is being done, but the throttle lag is gone. Instant response.
I like the device very much.
Mark.

I just finished installing the Sprint Booster. Fantastic throttle response! Feels like another ECU upgrade!

Can smoke my tires at will! Worth the investment

Just include your model # and year.

I just installed one yesterday on my S65, Christ I'll be eating tires off the thing in a matter of days. This little device is worth 3 times what they cost, the response is quite beastly and it really opens your eyes as far as what this cars true potential is.

Yes, you are quite correct with your assessment.
That little gizmo (don't confuse it with gyzmo+#'s - inside joke)
is capable of a little magic. Magic known only to the people who actually installed the....thing.
In my opinion, one of the most underrated upgrades ever.
Just picture this:
Renntech gets a copy rights, puts a label on it and charges, let's say ... $1,900. It's that good.
I'm thinking about installing it on my wife's ML350.
