PPK+JB4

BrianT335i · 04-02-2017, 01:44 PM

Hey everyone,

Picking up a JB4 stage 2 today and just had a quick question. I have the ppk flash installed on my car mainly for the exhaust note. I have heard in the past that if I install JB4 after I already have the ppk installed then the ppk flash will go away. Is this true? And if it is, are there any ways around it?

Thank you!

This is not the case. The JB4 will have no effect on what your DME is flashed with. You're in the clear!

The JB4 modifies the values that control the power/torque, which the exhaust settings are totally different.

"IF", in the event you have to drive in valet mode, you'll retain the performance upgrade that the PPK offers.

Bottom line, you'll be gtg,
