JB+ on JCW Coupe.........
I received my JB+ today. I set to 40 as recommend for the N18 JCW factory engine.
Tomorrow, I will drive on the freeway for about 200 miles.... over mountains and down and it is really where it matters to me when I need some punch.
If everything I read about it is true (20/30) I will stop complaining about the JCW lack of power and torque. It should be well balanced and a serious improvement from the original specs.
I will keep you posted about my feeling.

Well, if it gives 20hp/30tq, it is acceptable which is an improvement of about 10%. I don't really ask for more.

I wish I could dyno it.

Got mine used from another user online. It had been set to 100% , glad I cracked it open, I turned it back to 50% (factory preset). It has to be about 20hp or so, its a "noticeable" gain, I run 93 at all times, so I feel its safe.. No cels so far.. only thing I can tell as a minor "side effect" is that my car used to really pop - more a bang on low speed throttle lifts.. that's gone, more just burbles.. pops are very minor now.. so.. its doing something.. But its also been cooler/dryer than it has been in a few days... so I don't know.. But, its so easy to install./remove for the money spent - its a win for sure...
I wish I could dyno it.

I believe that I will definitely like it. It is the punch that was missing in the JCW Coupe.

Set mine to 100%
I have a lot of mods done to my car but I run mine 2013 JCW at 100% with 101 octane and all the mods I've done and I can say my car is really fast, no check engine light, I service it at the dealer all the time and it runs great. I've had it up to 171 mph on the freeway and I have smoked a lot of cars. Have fun with yours ! PS my car weighs 2173 lbs wet with me in the car and it's corner balanced.

It must take some nerves to drive at this speed on a freeway.

Now you're tempting me dude, and for months I've said I don't need any power, my car has plenty of oooomph.

I have the set up at 40 for about 200 miles of driving until now and while the performance has been better at installation, it seems to go flat from now.
I will go back to 50 and see what will happen. Otherwise, I will remove it because I don't want any problem to come from a tuning kit.
Now, I live in the desert at 3 digits temperature from now. Maybe there is a special tuning set up for desert driving.
Comments would be welcome.

JB+ on JCW Coupe.........
I would like to read some comments on your reply because I am not sure if it is really what to do. It doesn't seem to be recommended from Burger. JCW engine have to be tuned down to 40.

Of course, there are markings.
BMS doesn't have a phone customer service. They just reply by email to questions and technical support what seems a bit strange to me.
Furthermore, I had to ask many questions but the only reply has been to turn down the dial....... to lower boost pressure.
They don't seem to have any data on how their tuning kit performs at different climatic conditions and the answers are evasive. So, it seems that it is really "plug and play" and try to set the best you can.
The kit may run fine in cooler climate than desert without these questions ever have been asked.
