Frequently Asked Questions

1. I have seen this before, isn’t this just likexyz throttle controller product from xyz country?

Sprint Booster is a patented product. No one has invested theamount of time and resources we have to enhance the electronic “DRIVE BY WIRE”system. It is protected by a patent (GR1005429) in front of OBI (patent officein Greece) as well as internationally by patent application in front of PCT(WO2007066155).

Second, Sprint Booster is far more advanced than people think. Thecircuitry inside Sprint Booster is continuously monitoring pedal travel or inother words, what the driver is doing with his foot. It analyses angularchange, rate of change etc... Using that information, Sprint Booster is far more effective at providing the rightamount of throttle inputs that are in line with what the driver is demanding.This is regardless of WOT or partial throttle situations.

2. I can get a tune. Why would I waste my time with Sprint Booster?

The best way to answer this question goes back to how our product works. If youstep on the pedal, a Sprint Booster is providing your ECU with a very accurateinterpretation of what you want in regards to throttle. While Tuning system canmodify your throttle MAPS to change thresholds, it’s very hard to get just theright amount of throttle response in certain situations, which ultimately meansmore tuning to get it right. With Sprint Booster, there are 2 levels of throttle response thatwe have created from months of R&D on the Mitsubishi platform. Weengineered it to provide you with a very fluid response. Especially whendealing with the new MR SST transmission. Many people complain about the stockMR in regards to low gear hesitation, or strange shifting when on and off ofthe throttle. Getting back to tuning. Sprint Booster is not a tuner. It’s simply a plug and playmodification that takes 5 minutes to install that connects to your pedalconnector. It measures your inputs and translates a modified signal more inline with your expectations. This product works well with Tuning software thatdo not change the stock throttle maps.
