JB + and/or Sprint Booster for 2012 MCS

Hello,

I have a bone stock 2012 MCS and was about to pull the trigger on a JB+...when I discovered the Sprint Booster. I have read a few threads about the Sprint Booster but nothing really definitive in terms of using them in tandem. Can you use these together? If not, which did you choose and how do you like it?

Yes you can. There are people on here that do use them in tandem. Buy the JB+ you won't regret it. Use good 93 octane if you can.

The JB+ adds power. The sprint booster does not. It remaps the gas pedal so pressing it half way makes as much power as pressing it all the way. I prefer a more linear gas pedal to boost mapping but for some reason many seem to enjoy full throttle by pressing it only half way. Feel free to use both together if that is your thing.

Start with the JB module as you'll gain power and some response with it. Then if you want more throttle response later you can add the sprint booster.

I have the JB+ and Sprint booster installed on my wife's 2013 Clubman S and she loves it even more. It works great together. Next up to install is the Milltek catless downpipe this weekend. I hope it answers your question.
