Incoming new product JMS Boost Max.

I will have a test unit here soon but this is actually a neat device. For one it can be used along with custom tuning and give you the ability to adjust boost inside the vehicle on the fly. And it can also be used on its own to allow a completely warranty friendly way of turning the boost up without the need for a programmer or reflashing the vehicle. I have been a JMS dealer for a long time and have access to all of their products.

Torrie for the upgraded turbos would this be a good solution along with a custom tune?
It would be awesome to see if they could come up with a RPM based boost map with it.
I can't read the images you posted so I don't know if that's an option already.

What's the price point? I would like to combine this with a tune .

Sorry if it is in catalog. On phone

It will be under $300. It modify's the pressure curve that is being commanded through the calibration either up or down. So yes it will work with or without custom tuning. Just depends on the end goal.

Your the man for finding this!

I take it, it has fail safes built into it. To prevent someone from cranking it, and over boosting? Or will the Ford ECU shut it down before it comes to that?

Hey Torrie,

Any thoughts on tranny issues? I am not an expert, but without the firmer shifts when using this stand alone, could their be issues with slippage? Along with that, any concerns on line pressures at part throttle? I toasted a tranny in a 96 Z-28 due to an overly oiled K&N, so things like this scare me a bit. I have to say if this pans out, I REALLY want it

Thanks

So I guess I need this explained to me exactly what benefits this gives you when a custom tune is already in play?

bigmoneycloser · January 27, 2014, 08:32:42 AM

My exact question....
If you have a custom tune already..
And then you increase the boost..it sounds like a disaster about to happen.. The tune already increases the boost to higher "safe/tested" boost levels and then if you increase it more?

Or I'm just not understanding??

If you read the catalog page provided it states it "compatible with JMS Custom Tunes"....is that accurate? (I would hope it is being from their catalog and all). And does that imply ONLY JMS Tunes?
