JB+ Install Reviews and Tips
I closed the GB thread so I thought I would post the reviews and install tips from the participants here.

JB+ is a great tune for those who don't want to dig around in their ecus... one day though..eventually.. almost all graduate to the JB3 like I did!!!
Toward the end of my JB+ Career I had it at around 100% with no codes or anything.. and yes, it does respond well to higher octanes.. I stuck 1/2 a tank of Sunoco 100 octane in there once and it ripped! Awesome tune!!!

I intalled this Wed night at 60-65% and am ready to crank it up some more. Yeh I know it probably hasnt even adapted fully in <40 miles, but why not.
I plan to check for codes beforehand and do not expect any. I have a 7/07 production car and I believe I saw in the BT that my ECU was manuf just before that as well. My 2 questions based on turning it up to 100%... 1. I run 93 octane all the time, so I should be okay right? 2. What is this solenoid bypass all about and is it necessary? 3. At >75%, and with a never updated ECU, I should theoretically not throw any tuner manip codes right?

2) Solenoid bypass is highly recommended for 100%, also gives that low end a little more kick! 3) above 75% you run the risk of throwing a tuner code... best get a BT Scanner if you plan on running it @ 100% from now on...

Thank you. I took that picture with my iPhone and used Adobe Photoshop to brighten it up.

Thanks. And, yes. It definitely didn't work out that nicely on the first shot. Seeing the clip made it so much easier and I figured it would help for others as well.. It might not be a bad idea to use it in the actual documentation. All I want is $100,000,000.00 and I'll be happy..

I just got mine and so far I have not been able to get it. I almost thought about taking the airbox out. That also looks like a pita. I tried for about 45 mins yesterday and gave up. I have very little mechanical ability .

Forget all the long install tips and all that. Locate the TMAP sensor. Jam a penny into the clip, tug. Thats it. Forget the penny, it will fall out eventually.

Seriously, it's a lot easier than you're thinking. Take JayKay's advice.. I'm lucky I can fill my tank with gas and I installed it myself. The first time took me about 45 minutes because I didn't know what to look for and couldn't see anything. Once I got that picture up above, I could feel around and know what the sensor looked like by feeling it. Now I can install and uninstall the piece in a few minutes.

The airbox is cake and would make this install so much easier. The only hard thing about the air box are the 3 little rubber wire holders on the back right that you need to slide off.

+1 if it takes you longer than 20-30 minutes to locate the clip then take the airbox off and it will stare you right in the face.

I will add that my car continues to morph into a bit of beast. It seems to almost snarl, but in the best way! I actually slid a bit on the onramp I drive everyday So in addition to my previous advice I should add to be careful out there and remember to adjust your driving as well.
Unfortunetly, I have come down with the bug. It started with the JB+ and is now progressing to an AFE DCI. Prognosis looks bad indeed....

Here's an idea. Anybody have a way to post up a video of the exact location of the TMAP? I have an idea of where it is and I could get my point and shoot but I don't have a way to post it. hehehe

I'm waiting until I know exactly what I'm doing before I install. Also waiting for a BT tool.
