Really enjoying my beta unit. Took about 100 miles for the car to fully settle in. Now it just pulls and pulls at WOT. Turbo lag fees as though it has greatly decreased (could be a placebo effect). Makes the All4 feel so much less sluggish. I miss my highly modified R52 a bit less now.
Just got my beta unit (and CAN tool) in the mail today. Thanks Terry and everyone at BMS for getting it out so quickly.
Just about to install it in my 2011 S, so I will report back tomorrow once the DME has adapted and everything has settled. Should be fun.
I don't think things are fully adapted yet (only been about 40 miles or so, and this morning was quite wet, so I didn't have as much fun on the way into work as I would have liked), but one word sums this up...
Effortless
Installation is effortless (Terry isn't kidding when he says it takes seconds), and acceleration is now effortless. On the way home from work after installing the unit, I could see boost starting to creep higher and higher the more I drove. By the time I was almost home, I was peaking at about 15psi (stock was about 12.5psi), and you could certainly feel the extra power. It took a lot less pedal to get the car to move for passing, etc...
So far, loving it, and certainly a safe $300 for what you get. Still holding out my final opinion until it's fully working, but so far so good.
There's a place near my house that dynos and it's$125 for an hour. I wanna see exactly if it truly has the 20whp and 30wtq+ it's supposed to gain. Probably two weeks-three weeks from now I will do it.
I am guessing the numbers will be less for the All4. I was curious myself and there is an awd dyno not too far from my house.
Post the numbers when you do it to this thread. I'm posting them here(the long wait to do dyno myself is because I bought a valve cover and paying a jetski ticket).
Mine is running strong as well. I have been running without the CT to see if any codes pop up - all good so far. I have an Oxspeed BOV spring on the way, we'll see how that works for me. This thing pulls really hard in the 3k-4k rpm range! I have seen 15psi in that rpm range pulling uphill.
45 days.....1900 miles........Juice Box (JB+) works perfectly all the way, all the time, as advertised. Happy happy happy......surprised a new Camaro (V6) this past weekend w/ the quickness of my little beast. The wait for this product must be drivin' y'all crazy! Patience is easy for me to say.

I forgot to mention that my gas mileage is as good as ever, little change if any at all.

you can toggle the CT to not erase codes automatically. i believe you set option 7 to 0 and you're all set. so no need to run without the CT.
Jomama - I know there are a lot of JB+ beta testers out there, but if you'd like you can add one more to the OP, here's mine:
Adrenalinate - 2011 MCS m/t (w/ Magnaflow catback and DoS CAI)
i stopped keep track actually. and it's impossible to keep track at this point b/c i'm not sure who terry has sent JB+'s to. it seems like testing has been going well, and results are consistent across all years. initially, there were some concerns with 2011s, but it turned out to be a completely unrelated issue that coincidentally popped up in the 2011s.

I recognize that, but my intention was to see if any codes will be thrown. If they are all being suppressed, we won't know if there is an issue (IIRC, the CT only suppresses hidden codes). In any case, I have not seen any codes as yet.
Plus, I like the monitoring I can do on the UG - like ambient vs. IAT
