Wooow!
congrats on wasting your money. The same effect can be acheived by steppin on the gas more OR by putting the car in sport mode

All these things do (dte, sprintbooster) is to amplify the throttle input. Theres no change in hp whatsoever. Lets say you press the throttle 10% the signal is amplified to 30% by the box.
This gives a false sense of increased power because a little gas input on your part results in "more" acceleration due to the box tricking the car into thinking the gas pedal is depressed more than it is

But at 100% throttle with or without the box its the same.

By putting the car in sport mode you can achieve the same effect becos the pedal is way more sensitive
