Burger JB+ feedback.

Just returned from the dealership where they installed the Burger JB+ for my 2016 Countryman S All 4. Initial reactions are good. Seems to have more pep at launch, Def can feel the 'on-ramp' effect being more dramatic. at 80 on the highway I downshifted and it just took off! No check engine light this time. Seems to be working well. I can feel the car adapting to the tuner some just as Burger states will happen. Pretty impressed. More as time goes on.

Glad to hear the JB+ is working out for you. Any plans on dynoing it to see how much you've actually gained?

add a sprint booster too to tighten up the pedal response and it will almost feel like an r56

The sprint booster is a unit that plugs in directly into your accelerator pedal. It increases throttle response and acceleration. Kind of like putting the car in sport mode. I personally haven't tried it on my r60 but I have had them installed on my previous cars such as E46 M3 and smart car. They work quite well and are like $250.

Yeah. The mini dealership here is badass. They gave me a great deal on the Burger and my mini was already in the shop for its first oil change so I just had them do it. Im so stoked on the additional 'go' the Burger has added to my cm. Its fun as hell. Looking into this 'Sprint-booster' now!

Which dealer? Schomp or Loveland? Schomp is unreal! Someone needs to get them on board for a huge meet or something there. They said they have concerts and such, so why not a MINI meet?!








On topic, I am actually not at all impressed with my Burger. I feel like it leveled the drivability for me, but performance wise, not much extra, if at all. I will definitely be going MANIC once I swap the turbo.
