You have both leading and trailing ignition. You need a box that can cut both.

Does the bee*R do this?

I don't know the answer to that one. I have never used the box. I just use my e11.

The only way to properly get a "Launch Control" or "2 Step" to work, is to shut down the trailing entirely. Those boxes don't do that.

i'd say it does more damage to the turbo than the motor.

The damage is pretty overexaggerated. Use it, enjoy it.

I never had any problem running my Two Step. Also, none of my friends have had any problems running them either and they've been running them for 5+ years.

What are you guys wanting to run them for?

i really hope someone will reply saying "the cool fire effect" but i just want a better launch. would the bee*r rev limiter be a better set up over the msd? or vice versa?

I have yet to get my Bee*R box working on my S4 NA so other options might be worth looking into. Megasquirts can be had for under 500 and they have full spark control.
