JB+ vs PPK

for anyone that has tried JB+ and PPK, would JB+ be the equivalent of PPK a Mild and engine friendly tune?

well I never had ppk but I did run jb+ for a while. ppk is a tune. jb+ is not a tune at all just allows you to increase the boost. So the outcome may be similar, but jb+ poses a slight risk.

Yea, if the only parameter changed by JB+ is boost it might not be the best option. What risk?

jb+ is for people who want more power but won't be upgrading anything else performance wise.

You need a jb4 AND the ppk - it's an award winning combination.

I have a "Canadian" 2013 135is which has ppk stage 2 and PE
would the JB+ give me any discernible improvement ?

Jb+ and PPK is a good start to picking up some extra ponies at a low price. Ultimately if you want to further modify and gain more power you may want to go right for the jb4.
