Post in the Regional Section. I am certain someone will offer you assistance, if not contact A&L in Palatine.

My bad...looks like it was moved already. GL!

brad over at aspec in schaumburg can do it for you if you are gonna pay I had them do my walnut blasting... im either taking mine there to get installed when i get it or if it ever warms up ill do it myself...

I did mine by simply watching the Youtube video and the instructions on their site. Not difficult.

mkPOTO · 02-26-2014, 08:04 AM

if it wasnt so cold out I would help you out. If you can wait I will do it for a food and beer lol

but brad over at ASPEC can do it as well

fayz335i · 02-26-2014, 10:06 AM

I am guessing he is charging you $120/hr, that is all it should take for someone with experience. It would benefit you to do it yourself since you may have to remove it. If you are in the South Burbs, I could help you out!

im new on the forum but I have installed a jb4 before and it is quite simple. The instructions that come with it are clear and precise.

bmwdude89 · 02-26-2014, 06:18 PM

The guys that did mine charged $90. They are in the crystal lake area

mkPOTO · 02-26-2014, 10:34 PM

ill be back in town march 10th if its nice then we can do it

Ml3456 · 02-27-2014, 12:43 PM

It's pretty easy. Make sure you update it to the latest iso though. I took mine off before going to the dealer and waiting for the snow to stop falling since it adds so much power. Even with the snows on takes nothing to spin the tires. Live near Argonne Labs. If your nearby PM me.

ever get it installed??

I just installed mine this yesterday, it wasn't bad at all. I could help out if needed, I am downtown though.

Go it installed thanks to Mo! Loving the JB4.
