only point of adding a jb4 would be for meth control.
if you want more power without upgrading turbo, your options are basically meth or additional fueling with e85. |

Yes, you can add the Jb4 and take advantage of the extra safety failsafe and features. In terms of power, I dont think you will gain much

As to how much power you can make over what you have that will depend on a lot of details. First step is to record a JB4 log on map0 and then they can provide tuning advice on next steps for you. |

Forget the jb4 (mine's been sitting in a box), spend your money on a custom tune to maximize your hardware and fueling... .

BMS will help you custom tune for free with the JB4, you get a lot of features not possible flash only, and rather than buying a custom map that is disposable the JB4 is hardware that can always be resold down the road when you move on to another car.

Most recent and current are from JordanTuning (ACN91 & e40 Map). I also have a few from ACF Performance (Brazil) in various octanes and output. .
