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 for ETC-equ ipped vehicles, providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driver's disposal.aFe Sprint Boosters offer your ride an adrenaline kick! Designed for ETC systems, or drive-by-wire, these simple-to-install power modules plug into the OE connector located behind the accelerator pedal--no wires to cut. aFe Sprint Boosters deliver improved acceleration and reduce throttle response time. They will not affect your vehicle's electronic system and offer three settings for better drivability: factory (off), sport (green), and race (red). Raise the performance level of your ride with aFe Sprint Boosters.
