Default Sprintbooster 2011 Doesn't Fit?

Hey guys, I'm installing the Sprintbooster in my 2011 Rubicon, but it doesn't appear to fit. It seems there is just not enough physical space between the top of the gas pedal and this other plastic part that hangs down. Anyone install one of these in a 2011 yet?

What's more, I plugged everything back up stock, and now I have a lighting bolt check engine light, and the throttle is acting crazy as hell.

Please tell me I haven't messed something up. Thanks for the help guys.

Disconnect your battery for a few minutes and hook up and see if your check engine light shuts-off.

Tried that, the lighting bolt is still on. Thanks though.

*Edit 1* Did some more research. This may be 'Limp Mode' that I am in. Not sure though.

*Edit 2* Check my engine codes. It's throwing P 2122 'ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR 1 CIRCUIT LOW'. I guess the wire connector got damaged somehow when I was trying to install the SprintBooster. I was super gentle with everything, I never tried to force anything

Bump

Can anyone confirm this works in 2011's?

Best way to get my Jeep out of 'lame' mode? I've tried unplugging the negative terminal and restarting 4 times.

Thanks.

Have you contacted SprintBooster ? I thought they had to make changes for the '11's

I think the SprintBooster just physically doesn't fit. I'm uploading this photo showing what I'm talking about. The silver overhanging part that the light is shining on, there is not enough physical space between this and the connector to fit the SprintBooster into.

Also, speaking to my other problem, of now being in 'Lame Mode'. I've tried reseating the stock connector multiple times, unplugging the negative battery terminal, and restarting multiple times. Nothing is working. Looking at the pin connectors, it appears there is 6 holes, however, if you look at the picture, only 4 pins are on the male end. You can just make out what might be a 5th pin that may be pushed in too much. How many pins are there supposed to be? Have I messed something up?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I have a 2011 and I try to install Sprint booster with no success.
I also bent the pins of my gas pedal connector in the process. I had to remove the gas pedal and straighten the pins, I was lucky; I was able to put it back together.
I contacted the dealer and he confirm to me that the Sprint booster does not fit some 2011, he told me I had to bent a bracket above the gas pedal to make fit.
I was not impressed with that, they give me a refund.

After you bent the pins, were you stuck in 'lame mode'? And if you remember, how many pins are there supposed to be? Thanks.
