Apparently, they are the inventors of this fascinating little device.


Gets rid of all throttle lag - much MUCH faster throttle response - makes the car feel like it has at 10-15% more power (though, of course, that is really unchanged) due to the quickened throttle-engine response. I believe that this is much the same feeling that one would get with a "chip" flash. Depending on the car it can chirp tires in 1st and 2nd without trying to do so and the backend squirms as the power is "put down" faster... Impressive for a plug-and-drive device.

The device is a nicely made set of two plugs connected with a cable about 4" long (looks like a factory/OEM piece)

So its for people with short legs?

Do these things really work? Do you have one?

I think he's pulling your leg sir.

Sprint booster looks like a generic chip. I wouldn't really trust it, but MAYBE. At least it's VW specific... but I really don't see how it could 'improve throttle response'.

It might give you a little power boost; I'm not sure if they have engine-specific settings or what. Anyway, would be a pleasant surprise, and I doubt you'd get anything close to the 40 ftlbs of additional torque.

I installed one on my Crossfire, and it is outsatanding. I don't how well it works in the VW, hence my question.
