I just put in 3 gallons of e85 (20% mix) and have done a couple 1st and 2nd gear pulls this morning to allow map 5 to adjust the tuning. It’s dry out, 37 degrees roughly and I went to do another pull in 2nd and traction control kicked in pretty hard and I noticed 2 hazard light flashes and a kick to map 4 right after. Im assuming it had something to do with the traction control kicking in and limiting my boost quite a bit. Can anyone confirm this? In an hour I’m going to take it out on the highway away from traffic to do some better testing and I’ll come back to this for an update but I’m the meantime any help would be appreciated!

3) The JB4 has several safety systems built in that will force a switch to map 4 (low boost) if the JB4 notices various conditions. Including boost over target, fuel pressure below target, and air/fuel ratio running lean. If you ever encounter an automatic switch to map 4 review the FAQ below for addl information.

Update:
I just took the car out and got her warmed up then did a few 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear pulls and a couple of high speed 5th/6th pulls and everything is working flawlessly. I made sure to turn DTC off while driving and the car stayed on map 5, pulled harder than ever, and overall felt amazing. Fingers crossed it stays this way and what had happened earlier was just a freak traction-related issue!

What do you mean?

And either way, I have a data cable coming in the mail and I plan on doing a few logs regardless if it happens again or not.

Highly unlikely. Do you have the Jb4 mobile App? I will show you there what was the reason for MAp 4 safety to trigger.

Looks really cool, but pricey. I’ll stick with the ole laptop in the car with a $35 cable lol.

Plus $28 for the application itself. You could shop for used kit like this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1450649 Or here: http://www.n54tech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4

I was going to say it's likely a fluke and to make sure you replicate it before worrying.

You dont need the Bluetooth kit. If you have a phone that is OTG (on the go) capable you can buy a $7 connection on amazon . I either use my phone or a cheap amazon fire tablet to use the app. Cheers
