My '13 JCW hard top is bone stock with the exception of a K&N panel filter and runs on 91 octane. I put my JB+ (11 o'clock setting) in on Sat. and used a reusable zip tie to secure the maf cable that attaches to the bottom of the JB+ to another cable which keeps the entire unit from flopping around. I've only got about 50 mi. clocked so far. In my short experience it definitely pulls harder and I also seem to experience less turbo lag when the Sport button is off. I have zero idle issues.
I also put the BMS clutch stop in place and removed one shim since mine had 4. Shifting is so much easier now.
Thanks Terry!

Sure thing Damon! Drove about 66 miles round trip for work today. So far, idling appears to be steady with the JB+ unlike some that have reported fluctuations. Hwy 101 was pretty busy on the way home so I couldn't go WOT, but it's now even more fun to enter the on ramps. Power is steady and stronger! This thing just ups the fun factor of the MINI to 10+ and then some if you should ever turn the dial up. 
Feel free to ask any questions about the JB+ and the JCW, and I will try my best to answer with my experience with it. I currently have an aFe panel filter in the stock intake, and I also have an FMIC waiting to be installed in the garage.
I did not get the CAN tool because I do not have plans to change the DP so instead got a SG2, but I was thinking it would be cool if Terry could add an overboost light feature to the CAN tool. I'm always wondering if I am hitting overboost or not, and I might just buy it for that featur alone. lol. What say you Terry?

Thank u for all your info!!!! I was looking for an AFE filter.where did u find one and did it make and difference.And sounds like in need to order the JB+.Just not sure if i should order the CAN tool or get a SG2.not really planning to do any other mods .Super happy with my JCW but want a little more power and turbo sound and I'm happy.I also run 93 chevron gas all the time in my rocket
The Defenders of Speed website also sells it, I believe. Anyhow, I posted a pic of the model number. The changes that I can tell from the new filter is improved throttle response and a slight increase in sound like a turbo whistle when you have your foot on the pedal (not the whoosh sound when you let off the pedal).
People have reported that the CAN tool does not work as well if you have MINI Connected screen so another reason I got the SG2 (and I can use it on the wife's non-MINI car).

I got my filter from Amazon because I already have prime so free shipping for me. The Defenders of Speed website also sells it, I believe. Anyhow, I posted a pic of the model number.

For folks with the Mini Connected screen like myself.
-Set timing for fuel gauge
....makes timing easy to read
-Set speedo for AFR
.....easy to read as it'll never go below 110 (works well since the needle moves ridiculously slow and only moves on that quarter of the speedo vs trying to go back and fourth on the whole thing like timing would)
Boost would be the least important of these 3 things if you had to place them in order of importance.

Yeah it was never meant to be permanent. I tried it out when I went up Angeles Crest one 35 degree night, since I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out for one night. But then I got lazy and I've been putting off changing it back. Definitely been enjoying the extra power though. It's so addicting, now I just want a meth kit so I can turn it up all the way lol.

Thanks!

So many myths about different blends of gasoline.
Never really use arco as it's not very convenient in DTLA. And when I do find one, it's always packed....so I just avoid it altogether lol.

Haha how funny, I think I see less mpg with Chevron, which is why I switched to Shell. So many myths about different blends of gasoline. Never really use arco as it's not very convenient in DTLA. And when I do find one, it's always packed....so I just avoid it altogether lol.
order : Chevron>Shell>Arco with the worst being Safeway and Costco

Sub-zero weather here in CO this week. I'm definitely not worried about heat soak!
I have experienced some occasional hesitation at WOT. I suspect that the altitude + the 91 octane (best available here) are at issue. I've been meaning to dial back to 11:00 but haven't gotten around to it.

I agree. Here in Michigan we had 26 degrees last night, and boy was my MINI flying on the highway. I looked at the speedometer and had to calm down a bit since my pants were getting a little excited.
