I too installed the SB, and I was hoping that the initial lag from standing-still will disappear, but it didn't happen...sigh...however, once the car gets going, the lag seems to go away.

You guys should have gone with the agressive one (manual one) if it was to much power off the line you could always have kept your car in C mode(comfort) it starts off in second gear so you dont slide all over the place.

I also agree that putting it back was a pain. I should have taken a picture before I disassemble the pedal, because I don't remember if the insulation material hangs out like what is shown in the picture below. I tried to push it back into the plastic pieces, but it doesn't budge. Can someone check it for me? Thanks!

My car drives fine after installation. However I noticed my SB only has 5 pins(on the grey plug). Is it because it's 451A(AT version)? Or is it missing a pin? Can someone check it?

Has Anyone Tried This In A 320 Yet?

yellowrama,

Can you post pics of your sprint booster ? The one you purchased from the Crossfire group ? As you said that only the initial lag has been rectified, I am kind of puzzled.

You will definitely feel the improvements besides the intial lag as the car is very much responsive.

Some of the fellas whom I got for them has felt the responsiveness of their vehicle besides the initial lag.

Unless yours is not working as what it should be, then it is better to get them to replace it...

pugguy2001, you missed the DHL delivery today....

pugguy2001

I just checked th tracking # and it says it arrived at my facility today 1:24pm. I should be getting it tomorrow.

Hi slkfans,

Don't worry; I know my SB is working perfectly, because the throttle is more responsive or sensitive to my foot than ever before. I was just hoping that the initial lag from standing still will go away as if you are driving a racing game(= zero lag). btw, I guess 5 pins are the way it is according to the users in Crossfire Forum.

Has anyone had this problem where you turn the steering wheel to the extreme left or right like when you're in a parking lot and the steering wheel and gas pedal simultaniously click? like you turn all the way left, start turning back and the wheel and pedal click at the same time then turn all the way right and turn back and they click again? i must have not put the pedal back in properly.
the car is going in for service tomorrow because the shifter is getting really hard to shift so i'm gonna have them take a look at this clicking. i'll take my sprint booster out first of course.

Mine looks exactly like that as well. If anyone that has not installed the SB could either post a pic or let us know if your c230 looks the same or different than the above pic.

Thanks

pugguy2001,

Send you a PM. It is about the supercharger....

pugguy2001

I didnt get that pm? resend it.

Ever since I installed mine, i hear and feel as if something is getting caught when I turn the wheel when marking sharp turns.... It's driving me crazy.

alwayzspeedin

intresting little device..i will probably pick one up.so i was wondering if there was a differnece between the auto and manuel sprint booster? second if there was a difference between a auto and mauel sprint boost will it be better to use a mauel SB on a auto?

pugguy2001

Well looking at your signature with the 530whp Is, I suggest you go with the manual one. It is way more aggressive than the auto one. You have constant power at the pedal and the super charger gets going right a way. You get so much more torque because the supercharger is working sooner. Dont forget about the c mode. if you are afraid it might be to aggressive, your car will start in 2nd gear and you will not be all over the road on a rainy day even with esp one.
Well good luck.

ctC230K

you feel the wheel and gas pedal click at the same time? I'm having that problem. I think I may have reinstalled the gas pedal incorrectly. Probably missed some kind of hook or spring I had to go around. Now I gotta take it apart again. I took it to the stealership and the dumb mechanic didn't see the problem. I showed my service advisor after I came to pick the car up and he agreed there is something inside the steering column and the gas pedal that clicks when you turn the wheel all the way to the left or right and back again.

gregr09

Yeah, it's pissing me off. I've taken it off twice and still can't get it resolved. It could be the extra cable coming in contact with the column. I'm gonna take it apart this weekend and use some zip ties and see if that works.

ctC230K

it's so dark in there and so far into the dashboard i can't see wtf i'm doin

gregr09

true.

mbarrad

Just ordered mine. Will let you know how it goes. I have an auto and ordered the aggressive model one. Hope I did not screw myself out of in traffic drivability such as stop and go traffic.

RES

Just ordered one too, Just get ME MY LITTLE BOX SO THAT I CAN EXPIERENCE THE POWER OF THE DARK SIDE!!! LOL I wounder how the car will go with this mode and the Kleeman K2 kit.

pugguy2001

You are going to love it. I have the same set up as you. The sprint booster was what are cars needed after having our cars Kleemannized. The car takes off like an animal and then flys through each gear. You are going to love it! Which version did you buy, aggressive or non aggressive. Hopefully the aggressive one.

ctC230K

lol have fun with your sprint boosters guys!! just waTCh out for PoPo

RES

I work with most of the popo, so when I get pulled over it's like hey whats going on. And then cool how fast where you going, cool, be carefull see ya! The best was when we where doing the mountain tour in Washington with the Porsche club and I was going 90 in a 50 coming down from Mt. Jefferson. The officer asked how fast I was going and I told him I did'nt know and he went off to check my record and I thought write me a ticket, and all he did was give me a warning. My wife was so pissed because she has like three tickets. I told I just winked at him and he winked back, and that I think he was gay. Everyone in the club thought I was serious. Thank good I wasn't, not that there is a problem with that. LOL
