With that said, OP, go for the JB3, best value for money
My opinion is that upping the cars boost probably isnt great for the engine etc. BUT neither is thrashing a stock setup.

I'm not a crazy driver, and I'll probably never track it. I like to hammer the gas once in a while, but I wont abuse it. I figure driving a chipped car with care is better than abusing a stock car.

What do you think? Does anyone have any evidence to prove me wrong? Someone running high boost damaging their engine, tranny, turbo etc?
