Grabbed another JB4 G5. Current PTF. what's the latest combo? BMS backend?

Ran JB4 G5 ISO for a year. Then got Cobb...ran back end flash e40 on Map 5. Then went full PTF e40 and sold the JB4.

Lately been missing the JB4 so I scooped one up today on the forum.

So...whats the latest combo people are running with the stacked approach? I now have the 255 inline fuel setup.

I appreciate any input and feedback! Will be heading over to the BMS forum but always like to hear from all sides!!

I just get bored easily and like the idea of variety. I loved the JB4. A turbo warranty replacement forced me to remove it and I'd already gotten a Cobb by then so I went Cobb and tried a PTF tune. Lovw that as well!

Just want to give it another go.

Likely grabbing some VRSF DP's and try to install ghem myself. Big project but it is time. O have 2 years now until next smog so what better time than now?!?

I'm in this same boat right now. Have an OFT and love the simplicity of it but want better protuning options so thinking of Cobb or JB4 + BMS flash. Can't decide... I'm not running e85 or meth though. Just FBO

Thinking JB4 since I can't get rid of my rattle using any known fixes or tuning solutions thus far and apparently the jb4 does wonders with rattle

Use the OFT to load up BMS backend flash and pick up a used jb4.
I use OFT for that. Makes it easy

you should be able to control the rattle with the OFT at least with my procede i was always able to control the wastegate position. thats all the jb4 does is give you an option to adjust the wastegate position by entering a value just like the procede did

I am running JB4 G5 with the back end flash from ***********/BMS. 70% E85/93, walbro 255 on map 3 with meth. I like it a lot. Though Wedge and Luke are making some custom flashes as the ***********/BMS E85 map is pretty generic. Still great, though.
