I take it, this is the similar to the sport button in an ///M3? I measured the throttle value via OBDII to my phone and the amount of throttle was significantly more than with sport button off. You can do the same if any of you have OBDII connection to your phone/tablet with an app that can show throttle position. Take a reading with the car off at a certain amount of throttle then take a read after hitting the magic button.

welp...thing thing is amazing. truly fun toy. it has so much more versatility than the Sprint Booster. each of the 6 levels within the 3 program modes has a subtle but noticeable gradation. i can't wait to explore all the individual modes. just did a run through the revs on each "color" setting and had a shit eating grin throughout. the red "race" or "sport plus" mode as they call it on the PB is kinda nuts. i found myself redlining almost instantaneously. definitely improves acceleration. nail it at 3500 RPM and the thing is in the red within a second or two. the green "city" mode is a lot more like the SB in terms of "floor it and initially feel a burst but then wait for the revs to catch up to the rest of the pedal travel" sensation. it seems they created this mode for a slight improvement without too much of a dent in economy. but the yellow "sport" mode is where it's at imo. you can really fine-tune the response in this mode.
install was a breeze. if you've done a SB, this is even easier. there are only two connections instead of 3 with the SB. the cord isn't as long but still runs up to the shifter console area without issue. not sure you could solder this to a "sport button" though as the circuitry is probably a lot more complex.
overall i give this thing a full endorsement and look forward to exploring all it has to offer even further.
