Wow...
Wonder if this is better than the BoostMAX???
If anything, it would be a gauge to watch boost on the old cell phone...

Features
Flowmaster's Delta Boost Module is a simple way to gain up to 4 extra psi in boost pressure with an easy to install plug and play unit on Ford's 2.3L EcoBoost engine. The module simply installs in-line with the boost sensor and ECU and is controlled by a downloadable Bluetooth app from your smartphone. The Delta Boost Module offers 4 different settings; Valet, Standard, Sport, and Max. The module is built in the USA and backed by a 1 year warranty.

The above is from their website. Mmmm. it talks about increasing boost, but nothing about more fuel and timing management.

There is no fuel or timing, it is just the same thing as the BoostMax which is not recommended. It tricks the MAP sensor into thinking it is seeing less boost.

It is highly suggested to not run anything like this, get a real tune and don't waste your money.

Is the recommendation to run these mostly because of potential harm to the engine (the PCM can't adjust for it properly) or performance (the PCM detects load parameters or such and just dials back the timing or something). I wouldn't mind trying these type of units ONLY for the reason to have a much better chance of preserving the warranty. Which no question after the warranty is gone Adam is getting a call! I sort of always felt like the PCM could probably handle a cheating of say maybe 2 psi which would give a little extra performance for little cost. Just unplug when you go to dealership.

If you want to keep your warranty, then don't modify the car at all. It's better to do it right than to do it wrong and have to deal with the headache of a possible engine failure. Yea, it might be fixed, but it is a pain.

These types of boost control are just bad on new vehicles, as Tune+ mentioned.

The main reason is new cars the boost is closed loop, being monitored by PCM. So what they do is trick PCM to see lower boost and let it raise, but problem is engines is running higher, so timing/fueling is not on right values (depending on tables)

In old days raising boost with some type of controller was not so bad as it wasn't controlled like they do now, even back then there was limits depending on vehicle.
