Might be letting go of my JB+

I've had the JB+ on my car for a few months now, and I love my mini. I had to take off the JB+ because my car is due for service, and I'm shocked that I can't tell the difference really. I was expecting there to be a major noticeable difference, but there just wasn't. Since I'm not taking my CM onto the track, and have plans to get a tune next spring, I'm contemplating selling it. Has anyone else in a CM not noticed a big difference with their JB+?

BTW, Yes I checked that the dial is turned to 50% like it should be, and no I haven't had any CEL's.

Did you let the car sleep for 15 mins? And doors locked with the hood open slightly? Also, disconnect your battery too. That might help whatever is going on. Email Terry too, he might be able to help you out. We can't really help since we didn't build the product.

+1

When I had it on my wife's CMS for a weekend road trip, I took it off per instructions, and she felt the power for a couple days afterwards.

Got to drive it out or disconnect battery.

That makes sense. I just remember reading other articles on nam where people talked about how noticeable the difference was when they took off the JB+, moreso then when they put it on. I'll give it a couple days and see if I notice a difference. Thanks for the input.

MCS spikes at 21-22psi. I get 17-18psi. Without the JB+ I get 12-13 consistently. I live in Michigan.

What car do you have it on? Did you install per BMS instructions? Have you read through the BMS Tunes threads? There are a lot of variables. Did you have your car for awhile before putting the JB+ on your car? Boost can range from about -2 psi up to +19 psi w/ the JB+. How are you monitoring your motor? Not many people are disappointed w/ the JB+. Maybe also there is something amiss w/ your car.
