The cool thing is you can turn the sprint booster off with the button silver button on the controller, then it will act as a pass through - factory programming. Try turning off and on to see the difference.
Well, the cool thing is, the controller is about half the size of your thumb and is actually very quality looking and feeling. Most that say they won't use it, end up using it in the end because it looks nice and cool at night. But yea, you don't even have to hook it up if you don't want to,. Just set it and forget it it always an option.

Not more power - you don't get more power - you get a more responsive throttle response. I love mine - Sport mode setting 9 is the way to go!
That's my preferred setting as well, but only have been playing with it for a couple days now.

Not for everyone but I ran mine with the wire tucked up into the center console and leave it lay right next to the driver seat. just make sure its not in the seat track and your good to go. I've never had a reason to change the setting but if needed, reach down and its right there

Green 9 seems to be the fav setting on the 5th gens. What's crazy is, if you hit the off button on the unit, it acts as a pass though, with no programming, which is STOCK SETUP. After you drive with this for 2 weeks and then turn it off for fun, to see how it used to be, you won't believe that's how you were driving all that time! It's really nuts at the difference it makes. I have 3 neighbors now with 5th gens and all of them have it now.

I was a dumba$$ and just ran the wire up and laid it in the cupholder for a while. My intention was to run it up to one of the left side blank switch holes. I didn't realize how easy it was to take off one of the blank switches. Well it took a while, but I stepped on the wire and yanked it off of the JST connector. I couldn't find the exact JST connector to try and repair it so I just bought the SBSWITC3S – V3 Switch (Replacement Part) for $50. What's interesting is that after the wire got ripped off it stayed on my original setting of red 2. Won't make that mistake again. Mistake of not securing it properly, I like red 2.

How did you guys remove the OEM pedal harness. I wrestled with it for quite a while but couldn't push on the tab in the back and yank it out.

There’s a clip on the side facing away from you when you’re down there looking at the gas pedal. It’s a little tough to get loose, but when it comes off you’ll know.

I still haven't installed mine. Have 1 more free service (20k miles) at the dealer, then plan to install it.
Questions - the instructions mention (I'm paraphrasing from memory) opening the door and letting the vehicle rest for awhile. Did everyone do that and is it required?
Also - any noticeable effect on MPG? Has your MPG gone down since using the Sprint Booster?
I turned off the annoying Eco light but I like that Eco Bar. Does using the Sprint Booster make the Eco Bar useless?

Yes, you want to leave the door open for 10 min, with they keys out of the car. The is so any and all computers are fully off and nothing else is running on the background when plugging in, so all can bus stuff is off.
On mileage I’ve had some customers tell me they gotten more depending. You won’t get less, but remember your first tanks of gas will prob be less as you’ll be super testing out all the setting and flooring it testing kit the new found acceleration in which number you want to set it to. After you find the sweet spot, which most are using green seven then that’s when does start checking your mileage again etc. Drive the car then how you always used to normally drive it and you will find that everything is just tighter, way more responsive, and much more confident to drive.
now.

For Christ's sake, Jason, don't mention mpg or a couple of those 4th gen guys might come storming in here and have a heart attack!

Peddle Commander Or Sprint Booster
Ive been to both websites for these products and I read the thread I found about this but there really isn't a comparison I could find.
Peddle Commander vs. Sprint Booster

Why would you buy a
Sprint boost over a Pedal Commander ?

Haha, you are a funny guy and I needed a laugh.
Awesome! What are you waiting for! Get that thing installed asap! Will take you 10 min! lol.
I sell BOTH brands. The Sprint Booster is the original throttle controller that's patented and won Sema awards and is specifically tuned to each vehicle. It just works better and I don't get returns on them. Oh, and I offer 5 year warranty on the Sprint Booster, which no one else does. They both work, but the Sprint Booster just works much better and lasts longer.

Every 4Runner should have a Sprint Booster.
My setup...yes, i only get 13.3mpg due to all the extra weight and lift, larger tires, has nothing to do with the sprint booster. Yep, my 2016 only has 17k miles on it and already had to replace the UCA's....off-roading and driving in a city that mimics a bombed country will do that.

Took the plunge and just ordered The Sprint Booster. Look forward to receiving and installing it! Thanks Jason for your assistance today.
Installed this afternoon and was out playing with it just now. WOW!!!
The truck actually has some getup and go!
Played with Red 5 and Green 7.
Who knew you could spin all 4 tires in 4H so easily!

Still waiting on mine, but am looking forward to it.
Is it true that you can set it on whatever setting you want and unplug the controller cable so you don’t have to run it anywhere? I’ll probably set it and forget it

Just installed this today. Set it and just stuffed the controller in the side under the dash. Race 8. Totally transforms how the car drives. Its still a POS 5 speed transmission, but so much more responsive. My daily a Tesla P100D that does 0-60 in 2.3 and a 10.4 1/4, so to get into the 4Runner it was such a dog and felt so ancient. This really makes a big difference. Id say its a must have mod, and probably one I would have done first.
