Sprint Booster, again.

[v-g]

Got this today:

I just had to put it on, even though it would be hard to get a feel on how much a difference it makes, because it rains today.

Man! This is one insane little thing! The moment I touched the pedal, I could feel it! And this was just in reverse in the garage!

Out on the streets I couldn't step on it at all. Just wheel spin, wheel spin, wheel spin. Even with the traction control on. It seems like the traction control don't kick in as fast and early as it did before.

So a little conclusion, BUY IT!

Some facts to compare.
I've an old Leon, with APP code engine with out VVT and not the S turbo.
The engine mods are about non existing. I've a new TIP, some other hoses, open air kit, dumps atmospheric, N75 J, nothing done to the mapping.

So if you have a standard Leon Cupra/20VT, it works! BUY IT!

I've had mine about 2 months and love it
You do have to drive slightly differently
Would be interesting to see if it improves the 0-100 KPH
I'm sure it will as acceleration is quicker

Did You Find It Easy To Install ?

It's not hard to install, BUT (there's always a but) it helps if you've taken apart interior parts before. There's a bunch of how-to's on the take-interior-apart-subject.
General rule, be gentle, if you don't wanna buy new parts.
If you get easily mad, please take a brake.

It also helps if you don't have my shoulder width. I don't fit in the footwell.

YES! I need to get re-acquaintanced with the clutch/accelerator. (Is re-acquaintanced even a word?)

Would be interesting to see if it improves the 0-100 KPH

That would be very interesting. If the time is the same, this little thing does a good bit of sense illusion!
