i posted the forum thread above @ MBforms.com-
just read thru-
this looks right up my alley- i've always said this car feels like it has its own mind (throttle wise)-

i'm new to forums but good @ research check this-
http://www.slkfans.com
this is the guy who is getting them for all the MB guys-
he's not a dealer but has done it so much he's set up w/ them-
noticed at the bottom he has VW listed so i'm sure he can get it for us-
if you can e-mail him and see(sry still @ work no e-mail)
they (MB guys) say the only thing different on their Sprint Boosters is Auto vers. Stick-

oh yeah , the group buy would be great and probably help slkfans out too-

not sure how to start 'bout the group buy here though-?

 

okay i have contacted the guy on the MB forum about th Sprint Booster-
( if any body's out there...hello...hello...)

well if any body reads this you aughta look at the above link -
and atleast tell me if it sucks, or if you think it is as cool as sliced bread-

 

i know the guy in singapore and I will ask him..somehow he's friends of friends...at the moment I got demo unit for BMW unit and mercedez..I tried it by myself and really stunning with instant response i got after installed. Pricing around 450-500SGD. will update soon..

 

my cousin was talking about getting this for his E55. he's a member of MBWorld.org too. i've read a dicription on it before and apparently what it does is advance the throttle like 5 or 10% from the stock position, hence the pedal feels more responsive.

 

Interested. Needed to post something to add email notification.

 

okay,
just got the e-mail back from slkfans (he's on the MB forum and is the guy responsible for ordering several, several Sprint Boosters for those guys),
he said he would have to have the models, yrs, tranny and engine type-
A4 01' manual v6 2.8l 30valve
but he would help us out-
i do know he accepts paypal-
everything i read we would probably be looking around $250 ea + s&h

let me know if any one is interrested...

 

I remember reading that was only $80, I think it was on the companies web site.

 

man i hope your right new2me, i may have screwed up but if you can find out let me know slkfans evidently got 100+ units for his group and i thought i saw where they were right @ 250 but if we can get'em cheaper i'm all for that-

PLEASE ANYONE LET ME KNOW ANY INFO- plus if any one knows how to ask a large amount of guys on the forum if they are interrested please let me know i'm sure if we got a group buy together they would drop price for us-

here's the email and response from slkfans too...

HI Tony,

As far as I know, there is only one generic version of the sprint booster for the audi. It does not comes in 2 flavours like the ones you have for mercedes...

If you need to place an order, I need to know the specific model of the audi.

Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Cheers!

Okay,
From the get-go I will tell you I am an Audi owner-
but I have been searching and searching and your name keeps coming up-
you have really helped ALOT! of people out in the MB world-

I have actually sent e-mails to the Singapore dealer to no avail-
I am a member of the audiforums.com, a couple of weeks ago I caught a thread about "Sprint Booster"-
and from there started the research, a couple of guys on the forum have asked and like I said your name keeps coming up-

Question being, would you be interested in helping a fellow (multiple) automotive
enthusiast(s) out-

I did notice you repeatedly told people the MB - SB is only specific to automatic or manual no other differences- just wondering if you know if the Audi version is the same (I did notice on your site you list VW)- and maybe the cost- (couple of us were talking and maybe try to get a group buy, but did not even want to mention it w/o speaking(emailing) w/ you first)

All of your fellow MB'ers were SOOO impressed by the SB and by you -
so who better to ask the right questions to than, the right person.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanx, Tony Watts (XSive on audiforums.com)
2001 Audi A4 2.8l, 30 valve, Quattro, 5 speed-

P. S.- (if it helps I am the proud owner of a 1990 300 SEL (my Big Blue Boat) and that's my daily driver! hahaha)
