You have them both on at the same time??? Do you have the BMS on map 7 then? It seems having both the BMS and SB do throttle mapping at the same time would be iffy for me.

Map 0 - Disables BMS Power Box (Stock)
Map 1 - 30% throttle remapping, performance tuning on
Map 2 - 60% throttle remapping, performance tuning on
Map 3 - 100% throttle remapping, performance tuning on
Map 4 - 30% throttle remapping, performance tuning off
Map 5 - 60% throttle remapping, performance tuning off
Map 6 - 100% throttle remapping, performance tuning off
Map 7 - throttle remapping disabled, performance tuning on

The biggest + the PowerBox has over the Sprint booster is

1. AirFuel Mixture tunning
2. Increases the RPM cutoff-- you will be able to rev higher than stock rpm setting.
3. Completely hidden and undetectable
4. Adds 10 Horsepower
5. Adds 10 pounds of torque

So like I said, the PowerBox does the throtle remap like the sprint booster but also does the above

ive tried it sb only, pbx only, sb + pbx (w/ & w/o throttle remap) the most comfortable in the end was running the pbx on map 3.

I have powerbox but how to make sure it is in map 3? Cos the guy who installed it ask me to step on the throttle 4 times when ignition is on.

I'll be installing mine later this week
For those of you who did the install yourselves, did you disconnect the negative terminal on the battery as instructed?

It's safest to disconnect the battery. The instructions doesn't say so but I emailed burgertuning and they say to disconnect it. That way you will avoid idrive errors in the beginning.

Above all tips...TAKE YOUR TIME! If working outside, start early so you get plenty of light. Work with 1 wire at a time. Read the instructions more than once. Also, when you have the ECU exposed, read the directions while looking at the actual wire for reference but don't actually touch anything. This should give you a feel for what you need to do before actually pulling your first wire out.

Looks like the BMS website is down, but the instructions explicitly said to disconnect the battery if the car has the OEM alarm system.
Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the tips too. I'll report back once I install it.
