Hey Larry,
Thanks for the review plus impressions. Your remarks have solidified my decision to leave the little monster with stock boost - I'm too old for that much fun, uh, power.:biggrin: Not saying added boost is a bad thing, not at all, were I a young man, gripped with frequent fits of unquenchable testosterone imbalance, absolutely more boost would be introduced into the little guy. Lay off the little guy needing boost comments...:wink:

thanks Larry,
Its always good to get a review of an item and reason for choosing one item over another and a collage fund probably is the best reason to choose one over another esp when all have great names and reputations.

I'm going down to help my buddy finish prepping his newly built race car over at HMS Motorsport this afternoon, and those guys are very interested to give this car a test spin. I'm interested in hearing what those guys think. |

If it works as I think they do, theoretically DINAN is going to be far safer for the car. Sounds like the piggy backs just amplify voltages ans signals the computer recieves and processes. If the "H-Pill" is the same type of thing as a boost restrictor pill in the subaru world, its effectively doing the same thing.
If Dinan uses all the factory sensors and readings, its target wg duty cycle, target boost, A/F values etc just get modified. Also, if its all computer controlled, dinan may be able to tap into VANOS activation stuff... Bang for the buck tho, juicebox sounds pretty impressive. Honestly I am hoping for something like accessport where there are basic changable maps, or you can take it to a pro tuner and dial in a few more hp. Every car reacts a little diff to every mod, and the safest is if you have a tuner tune YOUR car for YOUR mods. |

GREAT read Larry, now you made me even more anxious! Too bad I live in Phoenix and the highest pump gas I've seen is 91 octane, or else I'd get the "H-Pill" as you did. |

doubleA, I see you have the same issue with octane that I do. I have read reviews on other forums from people that live in AZ and have used 93/100 octane but don't know where they found it.

I don't think there are that many people from AZ around here. On one of the threads there is a map where people can post there location. There really weren't that many people on the west coast (at least compared to the east).

JB2
I had JB2 since 12000km. (135i)
Good performance gains and no problem. simple installation, and only cost 99$ for 30-40 hp gain... I had drag 4 times with a lancer evolution 2010 with intake and blowoff valve; and i made better 1/4 miles time than him.... I had same time than a 300 srt8 but I dont know is tuning. |

Only a French Canadian would resurrect a thread about JB2 in 2011....
