View Full Version : Sprint Booster, Got Go!
kamikaze5G 03-14-2011, 10:53 PM I installed the Sprint booster I ordered today and what a difference. Although the unit does not give you any extra power the throttle response is insane and the car really takes off.
Installation was a snap and it comes with an optional remote that allows you to select between the off, moderate (green light) and race (red light) modes. In race mode the car launches every time you touch the gas pedal!
I was amazed how much difference this little gadget made. I'd recommend green for daily driving and and red for the weekends...:wink:

My understanding is that there are only two models, one for automatics and one for manuals. I gave them year, make, model and trans and in it went.
1stOne 03-15-2011, 11:35 AM They installed it for you? If not, do you have the box? Take a picture and post it up! That way everyone gets the one you got.

SprintBooster 03-15-2011, 10:20 PM Sprint Booster does differ from all of the other throttle modification on the market right now. What makes our product stand apart is that its based on advanced circuity that constantly analyses your pedal inputs and provides the ECU with a signal more in line with what you are demanding. We know because we have spent years developing this product and hold the patent on the technology. We also allow the custom to choose from two modes throttle modes, and OFF (stock). The driver can quickly find their comfort zone between two modes. Should you have any questions about the technology please feel free to pm us

I got the automatic part # from the dealer.
It looks like the same unit will fit various models from the same manufacturer...check our Subaru right below the Scion listings!
donsun 03-16-2011, 05:37 PM so does this fix the issue where the revs hold at a certain rpm for 1~2 seconds after you let go of the pedal?

If you're referring to the revs that hold or rise when you let off the gas and dump the clutch to shift gears then yes. The increased throttle response/sensitivity seems to have cured this and makes cruising at 45-50mph in 4th gear much steadier, i.e. without the saw horse back and forth while trying to maintain a steady speed!

Does the Sprint unit stay in green mode when you turn off the car and turn it back on? or does it go back to the off position?
kamikaze5G 03-17-2011, 12:45 PM Does the Sprint unit stay in green mode when you turn off the car and turn it back on? or does it go back to the off position?
I use it in green mode and it stays in green mode when you turn the car off and then back on. It will stay in whatever mode you choose until you hit the selector button to change it to a different mode.
MykeJ 03-17-2011, 06:01 PM Does it mess with the scion warranty at all?

Some Dealerships are already ordering and installing Sprint Booster. As with any mod, proper installation and operation should not result in any negative effects on the vehicle. Sprint Booster can be disabled as well by using the switch.
Bloodborn 03-24-2011, 04:47 PM So where do I order it? I see a couple of links here but no products.

Greetings Bloodborn. The Scion XB 2008+ and tC 2011 share the same Sprint Booster Connector. Our website is being updated and adding the new tC should be finished shortly, but you can go to www.sprintboosterusa.com and order the Scion XB unit.
Check again to see that the TC (2G) application displays, if not, the XB will will work.
If you have any further questions please let us know.

Thanks seems like a fairly interesting mod.

By chance, is there any discount, promo discount, group buys for this item? Thank you.....
messyjesse87 08-09-2011, 03:16 PM interested to kno that as well
johnmk 12-19-2011, 05:52 AM Does this product really reduce rev hang? I see one guy saying it does, but I'm skeptical. Need more evidence.
jayjayk89 01-21-2012, 03:50 PM I am looking to get one of these with my tax return... but, of course, I have other things in my cart as well.
I am sure others, as I, would be willing to spoon forth the money for this but not at the 330$ price-tag and only 1-2 reviews for our car.
If the SB user is still around, how about a group buy or some sort of discount heads-up?

Hope29 02-08-2012, 03:19 AM Hey guys,
I am considering getting this product but I am unsure if it will interfere/conflict with the descendant turbo kit that I will also get. On the Sprinter Booster website, it says under the FAQ section, "This product works well with Tuning software thatdo not change the stock throttle maps."Since the descendant turbo kit comes with the "AEM F/I C Controller" that requires custom tuning, will this cause problems?
Any clarification is greatly appreciated :)
