another JB+ review....short but sweet...

I know there has been several reviews so I'm not going write much.....just a few bullet points on my experience thus far:
* Mike from N54 tuning has been very helpful with the purchase....great service!!
* opened cover and turned it to 3/4.
* installed it late last night using a guitar pick....surprised i had one...its amazing what one can find in the junk drawer!!!
* took it out today for about 45 minutes....(temp was minus 1c but sunny and clear)
* ran the gears 1st thru 3rd at WOP....5 runs.
* quarter tank of 91 octane.....filled tank up with 94 octane.
* ran the car again 1st thru 3rd.....4 runs
* found a nice straight away with no turns....ran the car twice 1st thru 4th.
The car needs more time to adapt, however my first impressions are very positive....the car seems fierce above 4000 rpm...pulls like mad!!
looking forward to the next couple of days!
cheers,

I was wondering why don't you just turn JB+ all the way up. Is there any damage to the turbo engine by turning it to max setting? I will receive my JB+ tomorrow, I think I will turn it to max before install it since I have pre 29.2, that's the reason I upgrade from SSTT

If I knew I was pre 29.2 or had a BT scan tool I would have it up to at least 3/4, though I don't know how it would react to being cranked on crappy CA 91 octane.
