Wow no one knows who Bee*R is lol.
"This is Bee*R’s popular two-stage ignition cutting rev-limiter. It is used to prevent damage arising from over-revving your engine. Part of the reason for its popularity is the large flames and loud bangs it produces from the exhaust when active!
The way in which it works differs from the factory rev limiter in that it is an ignition cut, as opposed to a fuel cut. The reason for this is because if an engine (particularly turbocharged) regularly hits a fuel-cut rev limit (such as in high performance driving, or particularly drifting) engine damage can arise due to the lean condition produced when the original ECU shuts off the fuel pump. The BEE*R rev-limiter allows fuel to pass into the engine still, limiting engine speed by disabling the ignition signal. The Bee*R rev limiter is fully adjustable in 500rpm increments, for safety reasons allowing only a lower rev-limit to be configured than standard. If you have spent a lot of money tuning your engine, or are running at high RPM’s for extended periods of time, it could be recommended to run a lower rev-limit to prolong engine life. Both Formula 1 and JGTC cars use ignition cutting rev limiters, so it is a fully race proven concept.
The Bee*R can also be used as a “two stage rev limiter”, as an aid for launching your car. The Bee*R is configurable for two different rev-limits. A lower rev limit can be activated by a switch, the handbrake switch often being used. This configurable lower limit, can be set to the optimum RPM to launch your particular car from in 500rpm increments. When the handbrake is released, the usual rev limit comes into action, allowing quick launches, and full performance down the strip.
The Bee*R rev-limiter has another final neat feature. The gain control **** allows you to adjust the frequency of the ignition cut. This in turn changes the frequency and sound of the flames and bangs from your exhaust!"

If you're looking for flames, its not gonna happen with your cats and muffler in the way.
That thing is mainly used in turbo cars to keep you on spool. Also called "anti-lag" or "bang bang" system.

Well as I originally said.....why do you want to blow your engine up....cutting ignition and leaving fuel flowing is not a good thing,raw fuel in the exhaust system is not a good thing,flames out the tail although fun and all not a good thing.

My car makes a pop noise when shifting which sounds pretty cool, lol.
But as far as the "Power builder" goes, theres really no need for it, unless you want to set the rpm's to launch (set them at like 4k or whatever) which takes your mind off of feathering the throttle before a launch? What i've heard.
But yea, with my setup I get the bang noise when shifting when the car is cold. It's great. I'm guessing it's the automatic choke mechanism thats dumping more fuel, and with a straight through setup it allows a backfire to exit. <3

Honestly my neighbor has it on his STI......he said it is fun......but has no real function,his STI is not stock anything,about $30000 in to it,and it screams,scared the crap out of me 0-80 in less than 1/8th mile in the rain......
Bee is a toy and unless you tune for every track condition it is not gonna help you and will cause damage.

no the 08s have a rev limiter and the 07 have fuel cuts..and as far as flames go i wouldnt put it on m car if it still had stock pipes so the whole flame thing would happen...when u hit the 0 fuel cut the car bogs down...but that wasnt the point of the post to debate good or not but to know if it works
