Loving my 2012 countryman S since I bought it used a couple of years ago. I've since got the JB+ and loved the small gain.

It's time to upgrade further now but don't want to spend that much. For a budget of $500-$800 max, what would be the best way to spend that money to get an improvement in speed? I'm thinking about the Manic tune but I have doubts about how much of a difference a stage 1 would really feel compared to a JB+. Is it worth the upgrade?

If it is, what is another mod that I can get along with the manic tune that still keeps me within the budget to give me more of a boost in power?

If there are better ways to spend the money outside of a tune please let me know!

Thanks.

save up for the manic II, Mario will give a discount for the JB+. about 1500 bucks and from all the reviews in the forums here, well worth it.

be patient, save up, thats what im doing.

 

I got a JB+ for $200 from the forums here and it is a great mod. Noticeable difference. Not sure Stage 1 is worth the extra $300-$500 depending on if you get the switching button.
