Buy JB+ used.. spend the rest on tires unless you bought tire insurance for the terrible RFTs.
P.S. Almost everyone here is immensely biased short a few people, do not trust anyone's advice blindly.

I have done my research and believe the JB+ is the best tune for me. I'm in a similar situation OP. Car is bone stock, I don't want to spend a ton of money on a tune, and I don't really want to increase boost too much bc I'm going to medical school in the fall so money will be tight for wear and tear on the engine.
I do have one question. Is there a difference in buying a used PnP tune versus brand new? |

PROcede's are VIN locked. JB4 no difference, might have to update the firmware from your computer COBB no difference, might have to update the firmware from your computer & "clean up" the AP (delete old logs & maps you won't use) |

Just to clarify, new $495 Procede Rev2.5s are not VIN locked. Only older units that are currently are locked.

OP let me know if you need any help. It's hard to sift through the opinions, facts, marketing, misconceptions and erroneous remarks here.
I feel bad for anyone looking to tune.

$495 and that's for the version with no VIN lock. I'd imagine the resale value would be similar to purchase price once they run out of stock.

Do you're research well do not listen to any of us...Just hit up search and study for you're self, everyone in here will give you opinions on which tune they currently have and just because theres tensions between jb and procede users they will go back and forth advising you to get the tune they have. Just do you're research and you'll be happy, trust me.

That is true, not saying vendors/tuners give wrong info..but some of the users yes. This forum is well aged and plenty of info on here for someone just to do a simple search and come up with his/her own decision.

It's not quite misinformation, it's the withheld information that bothers me.
