Sprint Booster

Has anyone put a sprint booster in their 128i, does anyone know how much they cost, and where to find one, and how much it helps the throttle repsonse?

I have it installed on mine, but a 135i though. It makes the gas pedal more responsive/sensitive. Found the following link:

IMO it is a bit too pricey, but it works, that's for sure.

Does this actually add any HP or does it just make the throttle more responsive?

No HP gains! Just makes the throttle more responsive.
