Looking forward to your review of the JB1.
My review is a bit stunted.

I am on 235 width snow tires. The car makes enough power where the traction control is intervening quite often.

The power is noticeable. Most so in lower gears and part throttle, less so at wot in 6th.

It is not as drastic as my APR tune for my CC but that went from like 12psi to 18 and cost $600 on sale.

For $300 the results are quite good. If I was to spend $1000+ on a true tune and not a piggy back, I would have higher expectations.

I can say it pulls equal to the 335 I had for a week. When I get my production exhaust put on, results should be even better.

I also wonder how equipped the stock intercooler is at combatting heat soak.
