Haven't tried Map 5. Seems like it's a pilot program and BMS is looking for logs from customers for fine tuning. In theory its great as less boost in low rpm equals a bit more traction.
I hesitate to try it out as I only have access to 91 octane. Staying on map 1 until I find a good source of 100 to mix. |

so just to be clear IF** you flashed your car, and say it had a catastrophic failure...
dealer would do some digging to see the ECU etc.. but, in any normal case, this is out of their scope of work and they would probably* never bother to check ECU for it being cracked, correct? |

Can someone post a picture of everything the jb4 with bcm comes with? I bought one off a forum user and not sure if it has everything? If I'm not mistaken it's missing the bcm right?

Stage 1 was the first iteration, then there was JB4 with all the logging capabilities. It looks like you have JB4 w/o bcm. If you got screwed, please post the seller's info so we know to stay away.

I bought it from AstonMartian777 it took him over a month to get me a tracking number only because I kept listening to his bullshit until I escalated my dispute to a claim on PayPal so he got it to me but now It's missing the bcm cord, I told PayPal already I should be getting refunded soon they said after they speak to him, worst transaction I've ever had

JB4/BMC is great and well supported and easy to remove plus addes so many benefits you don't get a with just a flash. Most issues are to do with existing problems (boost leaks, plugs etc) or not understanding how to use the JB4- i.e using map 2 which only works on CP cars and SOME non-CP's due to maxing fuel trims- meth sorts this for non cp cars.
There are many who have had issues with flash tuns so nothing is fool proof. |

Then that leaves to Owners preference. I personally Like the Flash, last year i ran moact. Car was strong tehn same oponent i beat then a few laps later he beat me, then after cool down we were even. It was inconsistent In My Opinion But if u stack it. Its different story. |
