JCW Tuning Modules ... (Options)
Just came across this MaxPower tuning module from Maxi-Tuner:
http://www.motoringexposure.com/3222...fordable-boost
I can't find any info about how this module works - does it need to be installed or just a simple plug-able unit.
I will send them an email too.
Does anyone have prior experience with Maxi-Tuner?
What other options are there for 2015 JCWs ?

Maxi-Tune is certainly not cheap, but it seems to have a lot of press on the web specifically in relation to JCW. Power and torque gains are decent. But I really do not know what the reality is, since all tuners will claim non-intrusion, safety, reversibility and power gains etc. etc.
I am sure there are other options - such as BM tune. Lets use this thread to list them for future reference, along with data such as price, horsepower gain, torque gain, status (alpha, beta, production), ease of installation and un-installation, reputation etc.
Cheers!

According to their website, Burger Tuning Stage 1 is a beta version - not production/release version. I think that should be factored into the price.
I am sure many are using it happily. Personally I am reluctant to use my new car as a beta tester for someone's pre-production product. If I had an older car, or one outside of warranty period, I would probably not hesitate.

Because of the nature of the MAP piggyback, it'll work better in certain weather patterns than others. i.e. it might work fine in winter but might cause all sorts of limp-home and CELs in summer, or vice versa.

As for needing more power, it's all relative to what you're used to. I find the JCW's power to be nicely balanced to the factory handling and braking. Add sticky tires and a higher suspension wheel rate, and more power and higher mu pads will be on the to-do list.

I am very happy with the Burger unit. Car can not put down what I have off the line but its a beast when rolling. I will definitely move the Burger unit to the JCW once I order it but that's two years away since I am in a lease. Not sure what's not to like about the unit. Really wakes up the car and imo puts it where it should be. It's fast enough to completely dust a ST Focus and a modded GTI.

Everyone's tolerance is different - personally I am not interested in anything thats going to be potentially problematic. When a manufacturer does not change the product status from beta to production, that indicates existence of unresolved issues/bugs, for which a fix has not been determined. It may be fine for early adopters and beta testers who are willing to accept the annoyances, risks etc. but people with lower tolerances (such as myself) normally stay clear of beta versions.
BTW - I sent a note to Maxi-Tuner asking for details/clarifications and have not heard back. That does not give me a lot of confidence either.
Are there any other options available for JCWs?

Glad to hear that you like the Burger unit - have you not encountered error codes, limp mode etc. ?
