Sprint booster vs. BMS PBX?
They both seem to do the same but the function of having an on off switch without having to shut the car off and on to turn it into race mode seems nice, but then again BMS has more maps than the sprint booster. Which one is better and why? of course it's opinionated but i'd just like to see

I had the PBX and loved it on map 3.
Sprint booster is just a throttle remap. The PBX is a 3 stage throttle remap and a slight performace booster. And yes the PBX does boost performance, Burger did do a dyno. Although you will be way better off going with either the AA or Eurocharged tune. Edit: By 3 stage I mean there are 3 different throttle and tune maps 50% 75% 100% Last edited by Delta0311; 05-17-2012 at 03:53 PM.. |

Well the PBX is still in my car but it's off. Don't see any reason to turn it back on because this tune is a massive improvement over stock. It also eliminated the jerkiness of the PBX. Now the car pulls smooth as silk when you hit the gas.
