Bootmod3 review with dyno testing of stock, bootmod3, JB4, custom power tuning

Rik84 · 11-26-2016, 06:37 PM

Bootmod looks very promising. I just received my DME back from DME tuning in Jersey, it will be getting pushed back into the car along with some Pure Stage 2 turbos, intakes and charge pipes and then piggy back tuned with a JB4 as well.

I'm really considering pulling the DME in a few months and again and tuning with Boostmod as a comparison to an already tried and true flash tuning method with JB4 piggy back.

It's great to see some solid tuning options for this platform!

One minor thing we wanted to add and maybe clarify, cost wise to get all of this going including our OTS map, TCU transmission flash and all the features (logging, live dash, ability to load and flash custom maps, diagnostics, exhaust flap actuation, active sound control, etc) is 595 provided the car is unlocked already. Unlock itself varies based on the dealer doing the work. Our cost when doing it at our home location in Toronto is $100 excluding shipping.

Have a great weekend!

weather permitting(driving from the east Coast) you will be seeing me in May.

At $595 PTF brings the most bang per buck to the table.

Hoping to join the PTF family as a birthday gift to myself in January 2017.

Great, factual, independent review, backup up with real stats.

Quick question, did your tuner writes files via the OBD port by uploading via my maps? What format were his files in, or did he have to get PTF to convert it to BM3 format for the upload?

He emailed me the files, and I used the iOS app to push them to the car.
