Sprint Booster???

Does anyone know of and/or have any idea how to obtain a Sprint Booster or similar product for a 2004 G35 Sedan? If so, does anyone go in for a group buy?

Sprintbooster is a do-it-yourself performance enhancement module that greatly improves throttle response in all newly manufactured vehicles equipped with "drive-by-wire", electronically controlled throttle systems (including most makes and models manufactured since 2000 and some as far back as 1997).

Sprintbooster sends an improved signal to the ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) which is amplified or "boosted" so that throttle is noticeably more responsive throughout the entire rpm range. It takes only 5 minutes to install, it can just as easily be uninstalled leaving no trace behind, and it doesn't interfere with your vehicles ECU.

With Sprintbooster, crisp throttle reaction time not only makes your vehicle more fun to drive, but safety is also greatly enhanced as uphill starts, quick gear-changes and overtaking are no longer a concern.

Took 5 seconds to google... Although I've never heard of it...

I thought he meant THIS

I wonder if this Sprint Booster will correct the lack of WOT on the VQ35DE?

Thanks for the Google link. However, I had already found the link via Google. I was also wanting to know if anyone had ever installed one and could kind of give me a head's up on performance pro's and con's, etc. I know a few guys who have them on their 5-series BMW's and have loved them. Any feedback?

Maybe I shouldn't tell all of my secret squirrel stuff but............got this about a two months ago and it is wonderful . The throttle response is instantaneous . Our cars throttle is controlled by our ECU ! Older cars are controlled by a cable . Sprint booster makes our cars like it has a cable . Pricey at $330.00 but worth it ! Nice secret mod !!!!!!!!!!

quite pricy for its function... a Technosqaure reflash or Osiris tune will do the same thing and much, MUCH more - for not that much more money.

Both of which will void your warranty.
