First tune...
i just installed my JB3 a couple days ago.. Im not gonna give a super detailed review but the install was overall a little confusing due to the birds nest inside the ECU but with the help of a forum member i was able to install it. I did it wrong the first time and the car wouldnt start so the SES light came on. I'm sure once i clear the code it'll be gone for good.
I tried map 3 for a little and wow it was nice. I took the car out for a nice 30 mile drive that lasted all a few minutes doing WOTs. It was late so there wasnt too many people on the freeway. I got home and all i could think of was upping the map. So the next day i didnt even play around. I only use Shell VPOWER 93 oct here so i knew i couldnt run map 6 without a hiccup since many forum members were running map 7 with lower octane or 93 oct and no other mods. I figured i'd be on the safe side and go with 6. Well after a 1/2 day of adaptation. This thing is opening up more and more. Then last night i caught a ford mustang GT with some light mods. Full exhaust atleast that kept eyein me and reving on the go. When we both punched it i put so 2 cars on him instantly that he just stopped after about 2 seconds and made a left turn a bit later. Didnt even wanna pull up next to me. The car is amazing. I have DPs on order. All i have is 93 octane and a Helene drop in filter. I also have 16.5k on the car. Should i go to Map 7 or stay on 6 til i get the DPs.? and is it too early to change out the plugs? or do u guys think its a good idea. It says it takes 2 to 3 days for the tune to fully adapt. I cant wait. I thought it might be fully adapted. If it gets better im gonna

Hey man atleast get a good intake on it if you want to run map 7. Some dual cones would be perfect. Wait till you hear the turbos spool on map 7 it will make you want to boost all the time just to hear it. I would also upgrade the stock DV's too.
