BMS Powerbox = fun times

I had the BMS Powerbox installed today courtesy of Mike@N54tuning (thanks Mike!) and I have to say I am very pleased with the results.

The initial throttle lag from a stand still is now gone. I am currently running to Map 3 (100% throttle sensitivity) and driving the car from a stop is more like "Tap and GO!" as opposed to "Depress gas pedal, wait 1.5 seconds...now go" You will also notice the difference immediately when accelerating out of a bend or passing, especially in the lower gears.

D mode is actually usable now. The throttle is no longer stiff and heavy and I find it adequate for DD. DS mode is even more aggressive (feels like a "DS2") and "Manual Mode" + the PBX is just right imo. Although I have regretted many times that I should have gotten a manual, driving the auto is all right now.

In conclusion, I find the PBX to be an excellent mod for ~$300 and well worth the money.
