If you think that one feature is worth having a JB4, that's up to you, but really, that is very silly.

As far as targeting boost, a tune can target literally whatever you want...The only limit is what the MAP sensor can read and what your turbo can flow. Have you even opened a bin in tunerpro and seen how it works? You could even tune the car yourself...it's not that hard. The JB4 has absolutely ZERO advantage here, except quick change of boost limits...which again you can do with a 3 minute reflash in the rare event that you need to change that.

Finally, you may find it interesting that every stage 2 flash tune out there disables the CEL for a catless downpipe. Not to mention they actually let you get the car inspected (in most states) and hook whatever you want up to the OBD port, because the JB4 hasn't hijacked the whole canbus.

Now that these misconceptions have been corrected, what say you?
I like clearing codes from the steering wheel. Monitoring wirelessly. Additional safety. Sure I could attempt to tune it myself, but I'd rather pay a professional. Lots of people run the BEF instead of the full flash. I think you're good to go either direction.

Having the JB4 does add additional convenience.
