Default Sprint Booster for 01 GS430?

Anyone have a sprint booster for the 01 430? It only shows it's for a sc but supposedly it will fit. The last one I tried was blitz auto light and it was a piece of crap and didn't work for me at all. If anyone has this lemme know what you think of it.

Most people will laugh at it and move one. Others swear by them. If no new users of this product chime in you can search the 2GS forum for sprint booster and you will find the information you are looking for.

I'm running the blitz auto light on my GS430 and I love it. I bought it a couple of weeks ago and it works perfectly.
Not sure why it didn't work for you....

when i installed it the light just kept blinking and I had to send it back. Maybe it was defective? This cant exactly be installed wrong right? I mean its simple plug and play no? Damn now you make me want one again...

I might have to get that sprint booster, but I want to make sure it doesnt mess up the ECU or the tranny because some people said it can. How long have you had it for?

It's pretty much plug in play, It did take me a while to set it up due to the blinking light issue. What I did was hold the button down for a couple seconds until it started beeping and left it alone for about a minute while the light was flashing then cycle the ignition off and on. When you turn the ignition back on it blinks for about a minute then it worked. I guess it takes a while to self adjust/calibrate, but well worth the hassle.

I love how you had to do this but it came with chinese or japanese instructions, how the hell is anyone supposed to know how to do that on their own. I definitely tried holding the button and it still did not work. I guess my next one is to try the sprint booster. Its newer and better, blitz auto light you can hardly even find anywhere and if you do its some bs site that nobody has heard of because its SO old. I think they were the first ones to make it?

All that shouldnt even be neccesary, it should just work as soon as its plugged in. Can someone confirm that the sprint booster works right away without holding any buttons or doing any restarts. Seems simpler...

They say right on their site that installation may vary. Perhaps you can contact Sprint Booster themselves and let us know what that say is normal for setup?

Get the sprint booster it's supposed to be better. It is kind of annoying to always press a button but I guess it's better like that so u have an option of using it or not. Let us know what u think of it if u get one...
