Installed it today and now I really enjoy my Pat. The big difference is in First , second and third gear using performance mode. It just want to go.
Cons: Expensive

The Sprint booster removes the lag from when you press on the gas and the computer gets the response to accelerate. Pat's from 2007 use a DBW (Electronic sensor no cable). The difference is very noticeable when using Performance setting Vs Normal setting.
Its $300 which I think is very expensive for what it does but It really does make a difference.

if it does that $300 is not that bad,
in past 4 cyl vehicles to get similar results we would upgrade to larger throttle bodies, and/or port/polish the TB,
spending +$300 on such was not uncommon.
pat throttle bodies require calibration,
any dealer calibration required after install?

No calibration required, it's plug and play and take about 10mins to install. All that it does it amplifies the voltage from pedal and kills the delay. The devise as 3 settings Off, normal and performance.

I put a Sprint Booster on my Patriot a couple years ago and it does work. I think I posted it on here a couple years ago.

I'm not saying it doesn't work. I fully believe it works perfectly. However, I just don't see how it can produce that much of a performance increase.

Its not a performance increase, its just more responsive when you demand power. It is very noticeable from off to performance setting. I really enjoy my Pat now with this Mod. Its fun to drive and should be like that out of the factory.
