Your hifi has a volume control from 1-10. As you turn from 1 to 2 to 3, the sound gets louder. The more you turn the louder it gets, until it hits 10, which is the loudest.

Now imagine you replace a new volume control. And the new 5 is the loudest. It is as loud as the old volume control at 10.

Both volume controls give you the same same max. volume. The old one allows you to have more control as you vary from 1 to 10. The new volume control gives the same max. volume but less control, since you only have 5 steps rather than 10 steps.

IMHO, sprint booster works like the new control.

Hi thanks for all the feedback. hmmmm so there is good and bad things about the SB. it will give me power and better response for low end correct? Very sorry i am really lost about this. As some expert say parking will be difficult. i think its ok lah however fuel consumption will increase :death: but then end of the day if i want power have to pay more for fuel.

should i wait for a while before i install SB since its new

Actually, i think MBM can let you try it out, fix it on, go for a spin, like it you pay. No,return.

As i am a regular in MBM, i dont know will they dothe same for you or not, no harm giving them a visit.

I think what bro RedDevil mean by "make parking difficult" is that when you engage the reverse gear, the car tend to be much more responsive and a slight tap on the pedel will cause the car to reverse much faster. Likely inexperience driver may end up crashing onto objects behind the car.

For those who have installed SB, do you encounter that as well?

1. SB do not give U extra power, torque, more fuel consumption or better engine performance. It work electronically by making the "gas pedal more sensitive" when U step on it.

2. When I had the SB on my W203, I've not knock into anything when I reverse. I do not have an increase on fuel consumption unless I want to slam on the gas pedal.

3. Cum to the meetup & we will explain to you more. :welcome:

This is the old saying la.....Sorry i am old and maybe you are young that dont know this phase.

Anyway, my SB dont give me any this sort of parking problem. Only 'Shiok' while you floor it.
