A lot of jb+ on market lately...

Seems like a killer upgrade for $200-250...as long as it does what it says. Are other tunes just that much better, or...i dunno. Have just been getting tempted by all of them going on the marketplace lately.

I will start this off.

I was and still am a fan of the JB+. It works as advertised. I don't recommend getting it, and then opening it up and start fudging with the dial. It is best to be used by someone that wants a slight bump in boost, plug and play capability, and undetectable by the dealership once you remove it. All that for less than $300 is awesome. You would pay the same for a Sprintbooster, which will give you great throttle response but no Added HP.

However, if you are ready for the big league of tuning and willing to pay a little more than double the price of the JB+, Manic is the Icing on the cake😁

BLUF: if you are someone that is not always looking for more HP, JB+ is perfect. If you have the Mod cravings in the HP department, save up for the Manic.

My name is Roxspin, and I'm a MINI Modaholic😬

Totally agree. JB+ is still great, but taking the manic route on Monday.

Can't wait.

Just sold my JB, putting the money aside for the manic tune, fully support the JB was the best bang for buck mod I ever did on a car.

I have to agree, I love the Burger Tuning products. I first met Terry in 2007 with my BMW 335i and he always answered all my questions. Unfortunately, the N18 motor is not easy to tune from a piggy back and the audience that modifies Mini, is micro, compared to all the turbo BMW's out there.

I have had Manic for about 5 months and it's a huge difference in power, multiple MAP's and it's tailored to your specific car and goals. Each time I would try Manic's Beta tweak, I became more impressed, this is the main reason I became a Manic Dealer. I'm lucky to have have a fair amount of free time, so I can dedicate to "our addiction" the 1% club.

BTW. Today is my GP2's birthday. I bought it one year ago. It was meant to be, because my gym clothes matched the car

Congrats guys. Even though I love my MCS so much more now that it is Manic Tuned, my goal is to own a GP2. Patience is virtue😄

Manic and JB+ work perfect with autos. Some tunes fight the auto when the Torque becomes too much near redline. I have tuned a few autos
