How's that for daily? I just worry because I know MPPSK raises boost slightly above stock to begin with.

Fine for daily. Don't even know it's there unless you're flooring it. Since you have mppsk, I'd run it at default settings and see then move it to max. Im willing to be that if it's too much then you'll experience the throttle cut issues just like people are on the jb4

Are you MPPSK?

Mike, if i buy this unit, since this is a BETA version, if BMS improves it and launches the next version, how do i have access to the upgrade ?

The beta moniker basically means they are testing it in the wild but its pretty much finalized. Only thing I can see changing is the default boost it is shipped with based on real work experience.

Thanks !

Just installed mine, took me literally 25 seconds. Was harder to open the package then install it lol. I have it set to approximately 3psi over stock for now. I definitely notice it pulling harder, I think I hear the turbo spooling but it's hard to tell over the MPPSk exhaust. Overall very happy especially for the price, I'll prob up to 4psi during the week.

Any plans for a Dyno run? Glad to hear you're not having problems related to the MPPSK.

Yea I would like to def do a run with and without it on. Considering getting an Intake also before then but idk if it's worth it considering I probably won't hear it over the exhaust And I heard some people got CELs without jb4 on.

Has anyone gotten throttle cut issues on the 1-2 shift? I installed mine yesterday (I have the 8AT) and when I floor it in first gear the shift to second has slight hesitation. Haven't noticed it on the 2-3 shift. My car was in sport+ for these runs. Any info would help thanks.

With more torque you likely just have the DSC intervening due to loss of traction on the 1-2.

Is there anything I can do to test if that's the cause of it for sure?

Turn off traction completely, hold down the button. See if you get the same cut then. How much boost is yours set up at.

That's what I was thinking too. The boost is set to the max

[riskmaker76]

Awesome to hear..

Just picked up my 440 mppsk yesterday .....wow! All I can say...

I agree the mppsk is LOUD

Not sure if you will hear anything lol

You feel a difference over stock (mppsk)?

Any issues noted ?

Keep the feedback coming,,, your epithet firsr mppsk and I suspect I'm not the only one wanting feedback.

Yea I definitely feel a difference over stock car pulls harder especially up top. No issues at all I'm at about 3psi right now but I'm going to up it today to closer to 4. For the price you can't beat it. Yea the car is loud but I love it, you will be happy with the car!

[XRAVE]

Arrives tomorrow! Can't wait to try it out

[riskmaker76]

I will let he car break in before I do any mods but loving it already!.. your sig says 435 ...you running a 440 or 340 now?

Looking forward to see a before and after Dyno mppsk jb+

Ahh I never fixed it. I have a 440 with mppsk now. Happy with the improvements.

Received and installed JB+ today. Came set at about 12 o'clock, set it up to MAX before install.

Initial Impressions:
-Very noticeable gains in power, even here in hot South Florida (85F). Will Test again tomorrow morning (65F), assuming it will be even more noticeable.

-Definitely do a couple of high 2nd-3rd-4th gear pulls to get the system adapted. Noticed more boost after 2-3 pulls.

-You can hear the turbo spooling much sooner and to a much higher RPM

-Daily driving, as far as I can tell, will be unchanged. I will test highway cruising to see if MPG is affected at constant speed.

Cons:
-Requiring a small Philips head screwdriver & over torqued screws made changing the settings a headache.

-Set to MAX before first install and got a Drive Train Malfunction on first pull.
Turned off the car, kept setting at MAX, have yet to get another DTM. I'm hoping this was because it didn't have time to adapt yet, if I get another I'll dial it down to ~4PSI. I've gotten 2 DTMs pre tune so I'm not too worried.

Overall:

The JB+ is exactly what I was looking for. Cheap, easy to install/remove, invisible and a very noticeable power increase. I loved the Jb4 on my 135i, but with the ECU fuel cap, BMW cracking down on tunes, and being more than double the cost, I couldn't justify it this time around.

Thanks for the write up.. At max you may need to give it a little time to adapt before ripping the throttle
