    I went into each individual module and cleared them but it appeared straight away again.
    I went for a drive and could feel the great throttle response in first gear but after that hardly any acceleration. Must have been in limp mode due to the fault codes.

    Yea going to suck not having it on after experiencing it even for a few seconds. Maybe you got a defective SB? With so many here installing I think you are the first to have this problem. Maybe give it a full day and try installing again?

    It says that you can use it without the switch, if i left it in green mode and disconnected it from car, like today.
    If i reconnect tomorrow without switch will it still be in green mode or go to default red mode?

    I have installed the SB on two of my cars. Some times you have to unplug it and then replug it in. I have gotten fault codes with both cars on the install but after removing and putting them back on they went away.

    Yeah you can select what ever setting you want and unook the long cable switch. It will store your last setting. If you hook the switch back up it will still be green.

    Bingo!
    Installed it without the controller and no codes thrown.
    Not sure what mode I'm in but loving the razor sharp throttle, in every gear, best mod yet (first mod done )

    Re: Anybody try the Sprint-booster??

    Today I had a negative experience with the Sprint Booster ... I always run with RED LIGHT ON, but if i stop the car on a hill and try to go, the car dies when you accelerate... I had to push the button of Sprint Booster and turn off for the car up the hill.

    In a flat city the operation is very good. I suggest that you use SB in urban in off mode or maximum in green mode. If you use ind red mode you will have problems, except in a Track Day.
