Sprint Booster Manual trans

For those of you that have had or have this product I can't find many reviews on it so I would like to get some honest opinions on this to see if it's worth the $.

Thanks

I got the pedal box instead. The idea is the same and it's like the sport button but more aggressive. However for slow traffic setting it too sensitive might get yourself too tired swishing between pedal and brakes (and not recommend for changing settings while the car is moving)

Another benefit is when you do heel toe, since Mini Cooper is turbo charged, there must be some turbo lag when u hit the pedal hard suddenly.Installing pedal box or sprint booster makes heel toe much easier. The down side is to be careful on your pedal when u move ur car from stop, it goes fast.

For folks who thing their feet can make the same effect as sport button or these products. You don't. That's why people need computers.

2013 JCW with lots of mods and auto trans, the sprint booster is the most FUN thing you can do to one of these little cars.

So, what happens if the Sprint Booster is engaged, and then you engage the sport button? I like the sport button for two reasons: throttle response and tightened steering.
But for throttle, is the Booster plus sport mode the same as a super sport mode?

The sprint booster gives you an instantaneous response. It might scare the faint of heart. This is one of the first mods anyone should make to their MINI as it creates the most FUN per $ than anything else. It doesn't add any power but lets your butt feel what you already have.
If anybody is interested I'm offering a preowned sprintbooster for an '06 MCS auto trans for $100 shipped. PM me .
