Iminstalled one on my 2017 Tacoma. It felt good until it caused my truck to malfunction. While driving, I heard a "Thunk" the transmission disengaged, the motor cut off and I had warning light come on the display. Not a fun experience. I removed the device and sent it back. Thank you very much.
Sorry to hear about your experience, we have installed Sprint Boosters on many Toyotas and have never had this problem.
Is This better than pedal commander? I currently have the pedal commander on my 2014 chevy ss sedan and it works great havent had any problems. Had it for 1yr already
How does this differ or improve the already available ECT mode, which adjusts both acceleration and transmission mapping? Thanks
This will not change the existing ECT function, the Sprint Booster will only improve the output signal from the potentiometer at the pedal giving you the ability to tune pedal sensitivity to a fine degree or at least until you find 1:1 pedal ratio.
I installed this on my 2019 tacoma yesterday. I’m very disappointed. I was under the impression that this would fix the lag from the time I press the accelerator to the time the engine responds. It didn’t do that at all. The only change was that it takes less of a pedal push to get the same response that would have taken more of a push before. The lag is still prevalent. I’m sending mine back. 300 dollars to make the accelerator push more with less effort is a complete waste of money in my opinion. Not to mention the check engine light comes on with it and won’t go away. If this was 50 dollars I wouldn’t have a problem. 300 is way too much. Nice vid though. It sold me.
We would recommend troubleshooting the issue with Sprint Booster USA directly. If the Engine light is on then the unit may not be working at all. You can always return the unit I'm sure Sprint Booster will have no issues with that but writing off a product without diagnosing the issue might not be the solution. We've installed hundreds of these in our shop and certain installations did require some technical help from Sprint Booster USA.
Do you have the install video? Thanks!
That slow blink... 👀
It might be nice if the company who sells this actually had any sort of customer service. They do not respond to emails and never answer the phone. The voice-mail is always full and goes to a private persons voice-mail not a company voice-mail. The card is charged to a company called "johnston research"
Hi! Sorry you are having trouble getting through to us. If possible please contact our US office directly by email norman@jrponline.com, call volumes are unusually high currently but we can still take care of any inquiry you have.
I was looking at the one and also the pedal commander ? Does it mess with your engine and transmission I seen where codes come up on the dash just want it to be safe for my 2019 runner thanks
We have had no issues with our programming for the Toyota platforms and have been testing them for years with no apparent engine code errors appearing. We also back our product with a 3 year warranty.
@@Jrponline thanks just want to know because I have been doing research on it and on pedal commander and that one people have trouble with it
@@Jrponline from your observation do you feel the pedal commander has a more aggressive throttle response than the sprint booster ?
@@cedricmiller4370 Although there are many replica's of Sprint Boosters technology to attain a 1:1 ratio of response, what sets the Sprint Booster apart is its compact size, pedal lock and valet mode features, and the wide range of adjustability in one unit.
@@Jrponline ok so you mean the response ratio is lower on sprint booster compared to pedal commander?
Does this lower your gas mileage, or put more strain on the engine? How does it actually work, it just feeds more gas to the truck than it usually would for the amount you’re pressing the gas pedal? Forgive my ignorance... I have a 4runner and want to give it a boost but don’t want to kill gas mileage or lower the overall life of the vehicle.
I have one on my Chevy Colorado and I love it. No loss of gas mileage. On the stock truck, when you hit the gas pedal, the throttle body opens slowly. With the Sprint Booster, the throttle body butterfly opens more quickly in response to gas pedal input, more like the mechanical throttle linkage of many years ago.
Can these work with an Ecutek tune?
Yes they can, sorry for the late replay.
Don’t understand how the door being open reset the computer
It wont reset the ECU, its just a default function built into certain CAN equipped vehicles that allows auxillary bus to be reset. Some CAN protocols are different however so although this might work with Dodge trucks for example, it will not work for Lexus vehicles.
What if you wanna park and adjust? A slight tap and the car floors it? Seems a bit risky to me.
The test was bogus you didn't start the truck in the same spot. You finished in the same spot though.
I got one. It works!
Yea it definitely works and it’s not just for performance. When you need to just get one car ahead on highway on stock throttle you have to go past 70% throttle for it to do anything then you over compensate and it kicks down. With the sprint booster you just give it 8% throttle and it does what you would expect. Some people claim it saves gas this way however I drive too hard to notice that. When I’m towing a boat this problem just gets amplified.
sound more like an add than a review.
.10, big difference LOL what?
I installed one in my Gallardo and its night and day!!

Pedal Commander is way better and adjustable and has been out longer
This is the original and the race pro's choice because it is faster than others. Pedal Commander is a cheap knock-off that is overpriced for it's performance, cheaply made in Turkey and has useless gimmicks.
You forgot the In My Humble Opinion because to make statements like that you need data and facts. If you do a comprehensive, scientific test of the 2 side by side I'd be more interested - otherwise.......
