Hey! I'm good ... how 'bout yourself.

Yep I'd go w/ BMS PBX ... price wise ... but I've spent to much for now so gotta make it 'next' on my list ... hope the BMS will work great w/ my throttle body.
I'm sure every little bit for our 525 will help, you already on RPi exhaust so BMS should complete it ... you'll be happy bud!

l8tr!

Wasn't there some sort of Supercharger system for M54 Manuals?

Would you use the BMS PBX as opposed to a Sprint Booster? It seem like the BMS has the same features as the Sprint Booster built in (throttle response) plus the remapping options.

Be sure to get a RPi scoop too. That will help even more

SB only boost the signaling of the throttle but no actual engine remap so no HP increase while BMS PBX on the other hand has both and with HP gain.
