Also has anyone been able to flash it thru the obd port yet?

Also heard about making sure the tamper evident stuff isn't damaged, what's that?

Looking for advice and help on this.

Like pros vs cons

Not looking for a crazy tune that's gonna end up destroying the motor lol

BPM / Mission are on the west coast and so far I have seen nothing but positive work coming out of them. Of course I personally went the MSR / DME

OBDII flashing is only possible ONLY after its been bench flashed. May happen one day but hasn't happened yet.

Regarding the tamper proof - most will drill about a 10MM or less hole to give them enough access to do what's needed. Then that hole is covered with an OEM looking sticker. I haven't looked at my DMEs in a while but it is glued together from factory and some decide break it open and that tends to torque/bend/twist the housing sometimes and it never looks the same especially where they reapplied the adhesive to shut it closed.

If you have downpipes, definitely ask to get the most out of the tune. If you ask for stage 1 they will give you stage 1. Should be able to get easy 650w with a proper tune.

JB4/BCM - This is a good option if you plan to stack and want to exceed that 700whp benchmark, someare able to hit that number with a tune only and supporting mods. The BCM allows you to exceed the boost limits needed to exceed that power range. Of course with that kind of power, you'll need clutches, axels, and supporting mods. Personally, I have no plans to exceed my current limits so I opted not to do a stack and stayed with a tune only.

As for JB4 logging and code reading, its a very nice feature but I can do that with a $20 OBD BT dongle and iOS app. They have a decent logging feature with graph and easy to use. Maybe not as pretty as the JB4 but it gives me the info I need.

What's the $20 OBD BT dongle and app? Need that info

PLX Wifi 2 & Dashcommand or OBD Fusion
