help with jb+
i just installed my injen intake and currently waiting for my wheels to come in so im a little tight on money right now and im wondering if the JB+ plug and play works like a regular tune in terms of having to get all the mods out of the way first in order to reach the advertised HP gains or would i be able to buy the JB+ now and still get the 35 HP to the wheels as advertised then worry about getting an exhaust and other mods?????

I installed the JB+ at 18,000 miles. I haven't had any charge pipe issues, now have 30,000 miles. I would definitely do the JB+, can't beat it for $200!

The JB+ was meant to work with stock cars, or cars with few mods. If you're doing the usual DP, CP, intake etc mods, the JB4 can get you much more power. Plus it gives you a ton of options for ethanol/methanol/race gas etc.
If money is a concern, pickup a used JB4 off the classifieds. Firmware updates are free from burger. So even an older JB4 can run the newest software with an OBD adapter.

+1 for the Jb+
I got one second hand on here for $125 bucks from verdik and I couldn't be happier with it. It got the power to a level I'll be happy with for quite some time. I'll be putting cash into the suspension for the foreseeable future. I'm an N20, but no problems with my charge pipe @63k.

That said, unless you're asking for a new motor under warranty, a visual check is all most dealers will do. And the JB4 isn't much more difficult to remove than the JB+.

Also, I would search for a mod friendly dealer unless you have one already.

Here is a quick video I did when I first installed JB+ on my 328. Makes a significant difference with power, delivery and low end torque. So smooth. I want to keep it over JB4 because it is so inconspicuous.

why buy a jb+ when you can save a little bit more money and buy a jb4... if you gonna tune anyway you might as well go all out and get the max potential. There is so much added benefits to a jb4 especially if you get the bluetooth adapter and app, so much functionality at your fingertips...
you are still plugging a piggyback tune whether its the jb+ or jb4, you will only throw codes if you slap on a catless downpipe...
