hey guys I was just wondering if this JB Powerbox would work in my car.
Does anybody have this upgrade, if so. What are you experinces.
is this the same as Sprintbooster, if so which one is better?
If is not the same as the Sprintbooster, what are the differences? Is it wise to have both?
How much can we get this product for?
Do any of our vendors here offer it?

This is the BMS Powerbox. I have one sitting on my kitchen table and will be installing it tomorrow or Friday!
This is different then the Sprint Booster, it makes power as well as remaps your throttle with 3 levels of sensitivity.
This is a far better investment then a SB or Velocity since you get at least 10hp across the RPM range with it with equal amounts of torque and those are conservitive numbers. Do a google search for BMS Powerbox dyno. Sure you will find lots of results

OP: I've noticed you posting in all the vendors threads that carry bms products as for compatibility and price...why not just contact bms directly?

This works with your current ecu which is where the term piggyback comes from. You need to take 7 wires from ecu, plug them into power box then plug 7 wires from the powerbox back into the ecu to complete the loop.
Just buy it already, cheapest HP money can buy!

This looks like a bitch of an install compared to the SB, much more ways to screw up and bigger consequences if you do. I really don't understand why these vendors cant put together a short 5-10min video on how to do a proper install rather than shotty photos that look like they were edited in MS Paint. This isn't some $20 plastic toy we are buying.
