Just wondering if anyone on here has fitted a BoosterPlug to their S10 and if so, are you happy with it?

What experience do you have with the BoosterPlug to find it a waste of money?A waste of money.
Hmmm..... I am sure there are a lot of people who would like you to quantify that statement.A waste of money.
Depends on how much it is. You ought to compare it to having a reflash done to quantify it.Hmmm..... I am sure there are a lot of people who would like you to quantify that statement.
Do you even have any experience of this equipment?
The guy who makes them has a money back guarantee so I guess if you are not satisfied, then you get your money back. It doesn’t sound like a waste of money to me!
That's not really how it works. It lowers the temp that the ecu sees by about 10 degrees below outside temp. This creates a slightly richer condition.The best way to test to see if you want the booster plug is to ride in 35 deg (1.7 celsius) weather and see how your bike runs. If it runs a lot better then get the booster plug.
Yes and I have a noticeable power delivery change from the bike when pressure,humidity and temperature are at an optimum point. I don’t think the ecu calibrates itself all that efficiently for changing conditions. In other words whoever programmed it did a slack job. So will a reflash cure the discrepancy through all changing atmospheric conditions? Not likely.The S10 doesn't have a mass air flow sensor. It has an intake absolute pressure sensor and the intake air temperature sensor. It calculates the air flow from that data.

Well maybe that’s a little harsh as you haven’t tried it for yourself. The people who make the Booster Plug are quite open about what it does and what it can’t do and they also offer a money back guarantee if the buyer isn’t satisfied. It seems like a ”win - win” solution to me.No and I wouldn’t recommend that snake oil.
