Mini Sport Mode variant

Hi,

I have a MINI Cooper non-s but with Sport Mode retrofitted (DSC button connected to Sport pin).
I really like the throttle response in Sport Mode but I don't like the tighter steering wheel.
So I was searching for the variables involved with the Sport Mode coding, and I could find someones:

[SPEG]
SPORT_TASTER
aktiv

[EPS]
SPORT_SWITCH
aktiv

[KOMBI]
SPORT_ANZEIGEDAUER
wert_02

Is there a way to maintain the Sport Mode without the tighter steering wheel?

Think they go hand in hand , but never messed with the NCS expert in the Komi for it, when you press the button you get both.

I'm interested in the opposite, to activate the tighter/heavier steering permanently without pressing the sport button.

I'm not a big fan of the Sprint Booster but that will improve throttle response without affecting your steering.

You have an adapter on internet for mantaining Sport Mode always ON (it must be connect to fuse box).

And for the same price you have the better throttle response always ON too!

I was searching for Sprint Booster before I could add the loved and magic Sport Mode.

In the reviews I've readed, the Sprint Booster seems to be a thing that only intensify the signal (ie: when you press the accelerator to 10%, a 20% signal is sent). But if you press 100% your pedal, your car will not reach 100% acceleration faster because Sprint Booster.

That's the difference with Sport Mode. You can feel like something is remaped in your car while entering in Sport Mode (faster acceleration 0-100)

I have not experience with Spring Booster. Could be funny.

But, Sport Mode is off by default.
Setting the switch to nicht_aktiv will set the Sport Mode to off forever!
I'm wrong?
