PPK + JB4 or stage 1 stacking?

I own the JB stage 1 and am considering getting the PPK.

I realize it is too soon to get a firm answer on whether or not these will stack, but has anyone had past experiences stacking a PPK with a piggy back like the JB4?

If the PPK adds between 20-30 or so HP.. seems like a JB stage 1 / JB4 would be a nice, relatively safe, compliment if it were adjusted to compensate for the PPK.

Maybe bump the PPK up to 40-60HP range?

I don't think you'll notice any increase with the JB4 and adding the PPK. As far as I know it just works to hit a boost target and that won't change with the PPK (as it's doing basically the same thing, albeit a lower target).

Only way to get more hp without adding bolt ons is to turn up the boost (which may not be safe with only factory parts).

+1, if you are the type of person to stay oem then get the ppk, if you have the least bit of aftermarket modding interest in you, then 100% get the JB tune....

I only know of positive JB4 reviews (myself being one of them). The only negatives I've heard is from incorrect installations which were remedied and worries about losing warranties (which I haven't seen any where they uninstalled it prior to warranty work).
