JB Stage 1- Install notes and review

ATXF10M5 · 02-01-2016, 10:53 PM

Well...this makes me feel better about not having a windows computer to do this. Disappointing 'enhancement' for newer models. Good thing I'm happy with it where it's at.

Burger Tuning did this because they felt it is not safe to raise boost more than the default value with a tune not able to monitor air, fuel,etc...
Anyone who wishes to raise boost can do so with the JB4

So what is the boost set at on the stage 1?

And the JB4 Mike PSI default? 6-8psi right out of the box? Sorry, just wondering if I'm better going off JB4

So you don't need a lap top to install right? Just plug in and it activates, yes?

Stage 1, no laptop. Stand alone unit.

Thank You!

Took some pictures of my install for those who have yet to try it. As mentioned before by OP its super simple. The most difficult part being unclipping the sensors. I read somewhere about someone using a USB thumb drive to slide in and unclip, that worked perfectly. Keep pushing and wiggling it until there is a noticeable slide in.

The two sensor locations:

Thanks. I missed the point before about the air cleaner coming out for the install.

You can see the sensor from the side w/o taking it off but I can't see anyone actually being able to unclip it with the air box still on. Takes two secs to take on and off so a no brainer to give yourself the much needed room to work.
