JB+ is so mild, I'd doubt you'd have an issue unless your CP is already on its way out.

Inspect your CP at the seals and the pipe itself for signs of dryness/cracking. If you find none, enjoy your extra boost. ��
Thank you for confirming! This is my only concern. Seems like most of the charge pipe issues I've seen happen to N55. That is surprising since N20 is technically a more "stressed" engine (based on the HP/L of displacement).

Another question: which JB+ boost setting did you use for the dyno? Sorry if you had mentioned it somewhere else, but I couldn't find the detail.
No prob, this is what the forum is for, glad to help.

It was set to max (+4 psi).
