Looks promising, good mod for spirited driving or track days. Kind of steep in price though.

i've heard it gives way better throttle response and rpms dont drop so low when trying to launch and also makes the sport shift at tsxs seem like a manual

Considering this is made with about $15 worth of electronics, the price they're charging is absolutely outrageous. All this does is increase throttle input by certain percentages at different pedal positions. You can achieve the same effect, for $400 less, by having a heavier foot. There are no HP gains here, all it changes is how the car feels. Not worth it, IMO.

I've asked BuddyClub USA directly and they said it doesn't work with TSX.

definatly not worth that price

I've had experience with sprint boosters before and honestly I cant think of a more pointless way to spend 3-400 bucks. It only amplifies the DBW signals. The car feels more responsive but there are no actual gains. Definatly spendthe money some where else and make your car actually faster rather than just feeling faster.
