Boost Controllers

Just wondering, what options are you guys running for just controlling boost?

I know the JB4 Stage 2 has it, what about the stage 1?

Already got the Enzo tune, just looking for a way to increase the boost when I put some race, or a E85 mix in.

All piggybacks control boost JB and Jb4 stage 2

Recommend you get JB4 stage 2 so you can monitor air and fuel when you increase boost

Glad you guys are trying to look out for me but I already can monitor my AFR from my Torque app, along with a whole bunch of other good stuff. Just looking to increase boost for the drag.

if your enzo tuned cant he alter his map for you? that or you can just stack it with a JB4, if you get the flex fuel wires you can run higher octane that will allow boost levels close to 20psi

Do you know how much boost you are increasing from the flash?
If it is 3 psi or more, a stage 1 will not help.
You will need a JB4 for full boost control

I heard that the Enzo tune will increase boost if there is a E30 mix, is that what you are referring to? If so, I've heard that too, but see no proof of it.

He could but I would have to run that mix the whole time then. There is no map switching with the Enzo Tune. Yeah, I'm thinking of maybe getting another JB4.

Yeah I'm over 3psi. Thanks for the heads up. Maybe should have just kept the JB4 I bought from you instead of selling it.

Cloud - A few F series n55 owners on N54tech are JB4 map 6 with FF and EWG wires plumbed in. Map 6 means user defined stack up boost targets above your a DME flash and also allows to monitor/adjust fuel trims and ign adv. A

n issue for you might be the torque app transmitter, if plugged into OBD2. These are known to conflict with Jb4, both trying to access canbus. In which, JB4 defaults to map 4.....BP

They're opened yes, but i never gone to englishtown except (bimmerfest) and don't think I will, i hear Englishtown is always crowded. We prefer Island and Atco over it.
We went to Captree Cruise on sunday morning it was better than the drag-strip
