Greetings EVO X community

We at Sprintbooster USA have recently started our Mitsubishi campaign for Mitsubishi Lancers, Ralliarts, and Evolution X vehicles. We are also looking for testers/evaluators for our product and review and post here on evolutionm.net. We are not looking for just anyone. We want the most critical yet most respected individual to put our product thru its paces and report back right here what they think.

We get dozens of emails a day with people asking how it works, and more technical data then they know what to do with. But when it come down to it, Sprintbooster is something that, once you try it you understand and appreciate.

So to get right down to it, we are looking for an EVO X owner, someone who has been on this forum for some time, Well respected by evo x peers will accept as a suitable candidate and can offer an unbiased opinion on the product. If there is a hint of scepticism in there then even better.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

1) EVO X MR - with light to moderate upgrades (bolt ons), NOT TUNED, NOT Piggybacked

2) EVO X GSR - with light to moderate upgrades (bolt ons), NOT TUNED, NOT Piggybacked

3) Ralliart SST - with light to moderate upgrades (bolt ons), NOT TUNED, NOT Piggybacked

The reason why we wish to avoid tuned or piggyback results is because we don’t want it to interfere with our sprintbooster unit, we want to test it and have it make sense to the average Joe X owner. If you have a suggestion in mind or want to nominate someone please speak up.

TERMS
Real easy, we send out 1 free for your evaluation, all we ask is you do a full right up and put it thru its paces. It either exceeds your expectations, or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t we arrange the pick up/return. The only thing this costs you is some of your time.

PRODUCT UP FOR TESTING

 

Do you have safeguards built in to avoid blowing a motor? If a motor blows or there is damage due to your device, do you cover all repair costs?

 

No disrespect intended, but you want somemone to perform R&D for you and risk their personal vehicle right?

At no point have you listed what the payout would be for such services. In most cases companies either offer a monitary reward or a free unit.

I'm sure you planed on addressing this through PM, but it would be nice to publically state your offering as you are expecting an individual to risk his own vehicle.

At any rate, I applaud that you are developing a user friendly performance adder for the masses. The only thing I see as a hurdle is that a similiar unit is already available (Cobb Access port).

 

I'm pretty critical
PM'd

 

This looks pretty different than an AP, if my cursory glance over their website is any indication. It looks like it mucks with the signals between your DBW throttle sensor and the car's ECU. I didn't see any claims that it adds power, only that it alters (and theoretically improves) the throttle response.

I'd be interested in giving it a shot, but I'm disqualified.

An interesting point, though... is the average Joe X user untuned? If you have a look around, I'd image most of us have tunes. I can see the point for disqualifying that, though, since you can also muck about in the throttle tables in ECUFlash even though most people don't. Who knows what kind of havoc that could cause.

 

I have recently joined the Team with Sprintbooster in June and the evaluation idea was mine. So allow me to chime in and better answer these in relation to the Mitsubishi.

I have yet to hear a story on how a Sprintbooster in any application has blown a motor. This is not an R&D test for some beta prototype, Sprintbooster has two versions, the original and the second version which has selectable settings. but its no beta. Everyone who has tried it likes or loves it. I havent met someone who didnt enjoy the benefits.

 

Thanks for the additional information.

I vote for Hollywood to test....

though we all know he is not stock

 

I would just do the data testing, I have a couple of cars that are stock (including an MR) that we can run the unit on and see how it works out.

 

Not to be picky, but I happened to see this when I re-read it. Isn't this basically paying for a good review? If your review is good, you can keep it. If it's not, we'll arrange to pick it back up.

So if you put in the time and effort to test it and do a write up, if your conclusion is you don't like it you get nothing, not even the chance to resell it (if you don't like it you probably don't want to keep it).

Seems a little off...

 

Sweet!

looking forward to your report if you get to do testing.

 

I would consider evaluating the Sprint Booster on my 2009 Ralliart, however, I am lightly tuned with a couple of minor mods, so I guess that disqualifies me.

 

Here are a couple of write ups I have done there are more on the EvoX specific site but we can't post links to them here.

Like I said I have access to a few unmolested Evo X GSR's and MR's to test on so this can be done.

 

Ok, so its just a throttle manipulation device...

Something like the Blitz electronic throttle controller then?

Thanks for the reply Evo_Soul... and please dont be defensive over questions. The original post didnt state that it manipulated throttle control or responsiveness and so it looked like it was some sort of a piggyback device which whenever a device alters the stock system to increase or change performance, you run the risk of a system malfunctioning or failing. Luckily the throttle control is pretty safe. Im sure you have plenty of people who enjoy the device as well as many who will offer to use it for free! Good luck with your testing!

 

I can never understand this. Why does everyone think this is so shady. Sprintbooster USA asked me how would I do it.

1) First I thought, have people buy it and offer a 100% refund if they dont like it. But I wanted to make it even easier.

2) now here Sprintbooster USA goes looking for the most reputable person to test this unit at no cost to them. And there is something wrong with it?

Listen, if they like it, write about it. They keep it.
They Dont like it FOR WHAT EVER REASON, write about it in depth, and return it. We even pay to pick it up. Why. cause Sprintbooster is pretty sought after, and one person happens to not like it, there are a handful willing to pay good money for it.

You mentioned , that the person who doesnt like it, should keep it so they can sell it? Why would they want to keep something they dont like? Its not a bribed review. You like it fine, you dont, you dont. But Sprintbooster USA isnt saying keep it to yourself if you dont like it. They want people to be a critical as they want and public as they want. They just want a fair shake.

Everyone who tries a sprintbooster and pays they money for it, Keeps it. I run the Toronto Lancer Club over here in Canada, and to date I dont recall someone installing it and not like it. Specifically for the Automatic Tranny Mitsubishi's On the CVT it is GOLD!!!! Ralliart, MR its amazing. It drives like a different car. It sounds funny to hear, but when you get into it. Its hard to go back.

Now with this new version of sprintbooster its selectable so now they can Turn it off. Stage 1 and Stage 2. So you can now see the difference.

Its that simply.

 

How much is the unit going to cost when its released at retail?
