I can't wait to get home from work!
When I get home I should have a new JB4 with USB waiting for me.. I'm excited as fcuk! I haven't really read too much on the install process but I hope that It'll be easy as plugging it in, choosing a map and driving off, hopefully..

Not to burst your bubble, but the install process for a JB4 is not as easy as you might think. You need to get into the ECU of your car and line up a bunch of stuff. But you get used to it after a while, its the first time thats the most difficult. Afterwards, i know people who can do it in under 30 min. Enjoy!

Yea just got home and it was there, waiting for me.. I read through the instructions really quick and it seems pretty meticulous.. I will definitely take my time and go slow.. Hah maybe I'll light some candles too to set the mood right?!

I actually started 45 min ago.. I'm basically done just wondering how to route the USB cable through the glove box?

Everything is good to go, finally. Might've taken long but I took my time do no big deal.. I installed everything correctly the first time but I forgot about the USB being routed through the glove box. So I took it all apart and took everything out to include the DME and routes it through a hole in the bottom which was fairly easy.. I didn't even take part the glove box., I just pushed in as much cable as I could into the hole and after putting everything back.. I found the cable under the glove box and pulled it out. As for the JB4's performance.. All I can say is "I'm gonna get in some trouble with this car, holy fcuk!". I ran map 1 with a DCI and it was amazing! Probably the best mod anyone could buy for this car.

Should've done the usb cable b4 you installed the JB4 because you have to take everything out to get the wire into the hole that leads to the passenger floor.

Just make sure you put a few hundred $$ aside for one of our really good traffic ticket attorneys... I think the saying is, "pay to play". That goes for more than just $$$ into the car

Cobb is the way to go if you have to visit the dealer
