Specifically, it is powered by non-afterburning J85s (CJ610) producing 2,850 lb.s.t. each, as opposed to the 1,980 lb.s.t. of the Jumo. The reduction of the J85's thrust to ~2,400-2,500 lb.s.t. was due to the intake/exhaust shaping, not to any engine-control setup. Additionally, there was a placarded speed limitation, as the higher thrust of the J85 could cause the Me-262 replica to exceed its safe airframe speed.
As the J85 first flew in September 1958, I don't consider it a "modern jet engine"... and I question the assertion that it has fadec (full-authority digital engine controls) - the technical section on the project's website makes no mention of fadec, and J85/CJ610s don't have that in their normal installation.
