1. Should I ziptie anything to make sure nothing is wobbling around or is the way it's shown in the diagram enough?

2. Has anyone else noticed that the car actually goes noticeably faster even when you just take your foot off the brake (without applying gas)? lol It was kind of weird at first.

Your fine! Just drive and enjoy! What setting are you on? Try launching the beast!

Put it on the 3pm setting and leave it there, when you get the downpipe crank it all the way until it can't go no more. That wil out on on the 5pm setting. The same setting that I dynoed with full exhuast and BMS 491hp and 610torque. So yea. Trust me

.. Oh also ran an 11.7 @ 118 mph but have traped 119 at 11.8

Rwd- 5 Sec
AWD- 4.8 sec

Those are the times that I have seen and heard of. if you do JB might aswell do intake cones.

Not unless you get codes.

Happens you can buy $10 ODB 2 Bluetooth plug and download an app to delete codes.

Ben2k9 · 02-09-2015, 04:50 PM

ok great thanks for the tip.

am I correct in thinking that when I get a code it's more of a minor nuisance (like a check engine message)?

How often do you get codes and any idea what causes them?

Thanks again. My 550i is a 2011 year.

once in a while usually happens if you're running aggressive settings

Wizo · 03-18-2015, 10:17 PM

Badblack... Stage 1 on your motor; would you expect to get any codes if you left the settings how they come out the box?

macastel · 06-07-2015, 11:02 PM

Hey guys, I just got my 2015. 550i. Can you please answer for me these 2 following questions? i am a rookie when it comes to mod jut like Entropy was a few months ago.

1. I got a JB4 and its coming in the mail. How do I clean the codes so thes are not readable by the dealer in case they wanted to get them? Is this required or is is true as long The JB4 is unplugged its 100% undetectable.
do I need the PC connection if I just want to run map1, is that the default?( Assuming this is the most basic map that give me some additional Hp?)

2. If I dont get the pc conection how do I know the JB4 is properly installed/working? Remember I just got the car so I am not sure how it should behave.

Did Entropy ever found the video of the installation? Although it sounds is very simple..

Thanks for your help in advance!

For the installation:
All I could find was this: LINK

after following those 2 pages with the n63tu directions would I have to plug my laptop in somewhere to adjust any of the settings? Do I just leave it as is?

Also, what is the procedure for setting everything back to stock? obviously I would unplug the jb4 but do I have to change any settings via laptop or anything?

I know most of the questions I am asking probably sound completely ridiculous, but I have never seen anyone actually do it, so I don't even know what to expect in the box to be honest.
