Not smoke and mirrors!!

Fitted mine a few years ago, for such a simple gadget it does make it feel like you have a different car. Once you get used to it put it back to standard, the car feels flat. A friend of mines wife has a golf R and wanted a go in my Boxster, being less powerful than her golf I put it in race mode. She now wants a Boxster :)

Just fitted a sprint booster, the response off the accelerator, is phenomenal!! Wish I fitted one sooner.

....excellent mod mate.... different car indeed.... how does it fair with your Gan+ tuner...?

...what setting do you guys have it set too.... i use sport 8.

Sport 5 (sometimes 6) - anything above this can get unruly in lower gears (plenty of wheel spin if not careful), reminds me of my old M5 with its dual clutch box which always needed a sensitive right foot. Only time mine isn't switched on now is when driving in towns or slow traffic when the standard setting feels more appropriate.

Top man.... have to say that the difference between Sport and Race mode is only slightly marginal in my opinion. Interested to hear how well it works with your tune though..?

 

Bought mine from Design911 last year.... make sure it's set to suit the transmission of the car... ie: auto or manual.... switch on the side if i remember correctly.

 

Si.

Nope, but make sure to use both thumbs, one on top of the other and push the grey clip into you hear the click.... 10 minute job.

Just get a torch to light up the area , and yes manual option selected.

@bally4563 does it work in parallel with the GAN+ ??

Yes pal,the Gan doesn’t give the throttle response, however, this is a nice peice of kit, instant response, feels like you have an extra 100 bhp!! Which I know it doesn’t do that, but again very impressed

What's this like compared to the 987 "Sport" mode which some of us have, do you know?

Probably better because you can set it to what options you prefer

Racechip do a similar toy. Not so many features/levels but a bit cheaper....

Prob still does the job. Although I like the sprint booster feature that turns the throttle off.
