I hear what your saying man we dont really know what's going on so we gotta try and be as understanding as possible! To anyone that has thoughts of being scammed relax lol he wont do that, im just impatient on my end! But I do understand where the other guys are coming from as to we were all told we would be provided with tracking numbers etc... and no one really gotta updated, I got a feeling he wont do this again after this

8 sprint boosters being shipped out to all 8 purchasers. Like I said no scam just busy with work. Owning your own business takes a lot as I'm also young

FYI been so busy and dealing with a lot that today was when I installed the sprint booster. Never even touched mine until today. Race at level 9 is awesome. Pretty bad ass. Everyone should be happy

Funny that I'm just after reading that myself too and was going to ask about another possible concern, Active Steering.

The thread ^ mentioned him removing the SB where it made his active steering function differently, is that correct?

NCA, does you vehicle has one and how does it drive/feel?

Did sprint booster ever mentioned anything about the active steering compatibility?

I think this is a newer version and I've not hear of the folks that are running them now having any issues with that.

Mine came in this morning but would have to wait few days before I get it installed unless someone here post a DIY, mainly removal of the pedal?

Thanks once again.

There's a bolt. Have to remove the small plastic cover that's covering it. In the center on the gas pedal at the bottom, remove that then slide the gas pedal up. It's not hard

USPS has been getting worse as of late in my experience. In the past year I've had things arrive delayed due to routing errors, damaged, mis-delivered to my neighbors, etc.

Very simple removal, less than 10 minute process. On base of pedal there should be a small round plastic cap that pops out, under it should be an Allen bolt on 2010ish models and torx bit on 2013 models. Once the bolt has been removed, slide your base of pedal so that it release from mounting guide. Whole assembly should be free other than wiring harness attached. Unclip wiring harness and connect to new harness proved with sprint booster, then connect other end of sprint booster harness to pedal, re-install pedal base into base guide and tighten bolt, replace cap, route wire to desired location, mount controller.....done. There is enough wire with the control module to choose mounting location that works best for you. I mounted mine on side of center console to hide wire more easily and to keep out of view. I can still view from driver seat and adjust if needed, just not visible to passengers and wires tucked behind carpet.

Turn on power, adjust setting, drive, smile
