Read Orranje Performance Ltd Reviews

The Sprintbooster fits all MINIs. Developed to minimise the delay introduced by the drive-by-wire (ETC / Electronic Throttle Control) system, the Sprintbooster can be seen as a programmable sports button, allowing you to tweak the throttle response at a touch of a button. Featuring 9 programs, over 2 acceleration modes (sport and race), the Sprintbooster gives you 18 options on how responsive you would like your car to be. Not only is the Sprintbooster used to customise throttle response, but it has two extra features - valet and pedal lock mode. Valet mode limits the acceleration of the vehicle by 55%-75% whilst pedal lock mode provides extra protection against unauthorised vehicle use. Both features can be activated/deactivated through a 3 digit PIN. HOW IT WORKS: Most modern vehicles have an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates pedal travel into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels. The ETC system (Electronic Throttle Control) – also known as drive-by-wire – has the unfortunate downside of delayed throttle response and subdued acceleration, creating problems in certain circumstances such as up-hill starts, quick gear changes, overtaking, etc. The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay by providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driver’s disposal. RESULTS: At low revs, the engine responds at approx. half the time in comparison to before The delay time whilst accelerating in 3rd and 4th gear and the engine in the mid-range, is almost zero Big differences in the higher rev range Improved response for downshifts and safer overtaking Overall safety and more fun on the road! SPRINT BOOSTER NOW COMES WITH 3 MODES: OFF MODE – Sprint Booster is deactivated. The response of the car has the factory settings. The LED of the Selector switch is OFF. SPORT MODE – Sprint Booster provides improved response up to 30%. The LED of the selector switch in Sport mode is Green. RACE MODE – Sprint Booster provides improved response up to 60%. The LED of the selector switch in Race mode is Red. Each Acceleration mode comes with 9 programs, giving 18 in total. The New units give the driver the option to select the transmission of their vehicle. VALET AND PEDAL LOCK MODE: Valet mode limits the acceleration of the vehicle by 55 % – 65% – 75% activated/deactivated through a 3 digit PIN. Pedal Lock mode provides extra protection against unauthorized vehicle use. The acceleration ability of the vehicle can be deactivated through a 3 digit PIN.

I struggled to remove my pedal assembly my car seems a little different to most others? But other than that it was good sharper throttle response that you can fine tune to suit your driving style

Hi Robert, Thanks for the review! Yes, removing the accelerator pedal can be a little tricky if you haven't done so before, but plenty of guides and tips online. The facelift and pre-facelift models differ in how to remove the pedal. We are always here to offer assistance if you have any issues in future! Many thanks, Oli
