Thanks, I'll look into it some more and let you know should we need a different car to test (other than our test car).

Looks great! Interested to hear your thoughts on everything.A little teaser photo while I finish my review.
I am unable to speak to that product. I would wait on @VaitrixUSA to comment on differences perhaps between the two.How does this compare with the Burger JB4?
The JB4 seems like a solid item. It has the datalogging and app functionality which is very popular (our unit has bluetooth app control and map switching, but we are currently working on expanding it allowing for direct cloud access and datalogging capabilities).How does this compare with the Burger JB4?
Yes, it works amazing. I have a write up coming very soon. I’ve been a bit under the weather and haven’t had the time to really get out and finalize it.@VaitrixUSA Is the Booster ECU available to work with the 2.0L eTorque? Sorry if I missed it in the info.

Excellent news! Will be ordering a new Recon this spring.Yes, it works amazing. I have a write up coming very soon. I’ve been a bit under the weather and haven’t had the time to really get out and finalize it.
Steven,
Thanks my friend. Are you documenting your build? I'd love to follow along.Steven,
About 3 weeks now. Zero complaints, it’s really fun to have power back considering my setup.
I can confirm the JB4 does have RPM access. Where I feel it’s a better solution is that it has full canbus integration which gives it much more data to use versus a simple piggyback.The JB4 seems like a solid item. It has the datalogging and app functionality which is very popular (our unit has bluetooth app control and map switching, but we are currently working on expanding it allowing for direct cloud access and datalogging capabilities).
However, when it comes to actual performance and unit capability, I believe ours is superior (for example, I don't believe their unit allows RPM sensor hookup for actual tuning or 3D axis mapping, just interception of CANbus rpm, if that option is even available for these cars, last I saw it was not for the Jeep, nor the Giulia). So the maps created are largely just moving the stock boost curve up and down, and don't allow for actual changes to the curve. We also offer the ability to make your own maps (actually using the tuning software we use to make adjustments).
We also offer direct methanol system integration and tuning (applies the same as the above, and you can customize it yourself as well). This is important because you have to be able to tune via RPMvLoadvBoost pressure on a 3D axis to really have an effective meth system. This will also be important further down the road with E85 mixtures. You cannot adjust much else other than boost with a piggyback for E85, but you can certainly shape the curve appropriately to be more advantageous with alternative fuels.
We also have spent considerable time dyno and road testing/logging on an actual Jeep we own to develop this mapping, versus carrying over information from a similar engine platform. We are continuing to do more as we develop additional modifications for the car.
Both are solid choices, just different in some respects. I believe customer support from both of our companies is solid as well.
