I think the top skirt of the piston is slightly different. If they were Foged, I would already have a 45r turbo bolted on .

LOL! that would be awesome! Even though they are not forged I really dont see an issue running 19-20psi with the stock turbo as long as there is no knock, and afr is good.

you made your own DP, and made 50 additional? would love to see pics!

Akrapovic makes a great down pipe. It is catted but the exhaust they sell is cat less. Have both and love them. It is a very well made exhaust, I'd say OEM quality or better. Also it's pretty quiet for a performance system.

it turns out to not have been a 2011 problem. it was just a coincidence that myself and another 2011 owner got the "brown" circuit board, which was tripping the CEL. i don't think there have been any issues with the JB+ since, and there are a lot of them out there with a lot of miles between them.

Use high octane and with good weather and you can do 75%. 100% is fun

Good way to secure the JB+?

Hey guys, I just installed my JP+ and love it so far. One thing that bothers me just a bit is how the MAF cable is now hanging around more and even touching what I think is a heat shield. Is this bothering anyone else? I was thinking using a ziptie to secure it to something else, but I was wondering if anyone found a better method.

I use zip ties to tidy it up a bit. Otherwise mine was vibrating against the hood.

7 months, no issues. that's not the heatshield it's touching - it's the plastic cover above the valve cover. if that piece doesn't melt, your JB+ likely won't either. terry made sure to use higher heat resistant plastic. the sticker on my JB+ hasn't even been affected yet, so I don't worry about the plastic too much. mine also doesn't rattle, so I haven't bothered tying it down.

The JB+ is not touching actually, I was more worried about the MAF cables. I've just added a zip tie to hold the jbplus box up and the cables are not touching anything anymore, see pic attached.

Just an update. It's 22 degrees C (71 degrees F) here in Modesto, CA and my JB+ is still set at 100% and so far no problems with the higher temp. I have the Aquamist HFS-3 and am running 70% 91 octane/30% E85. Hope there are no boost cuts once temperatures rise further the closer summer comes.

Is there any brazilian member running JB+ in its rides? I'm a little concerned cause brazilian fuel is a mix of gasoline and up to 30% of ethanol, even in our premium fuel. Is it dangerous to install?
My car is a Coupe S AT, currently I'm running with DDM Works CAI, Mini Challenge Exhaust (It's very loud!). If I install the JB+, I'd like to install the evolve decat (I removed because a cel code) and FMIC. Is it safe?
Can tool is indicated?

rsantilli,
If I have read correctly, a lot of people who run a 30% e85 mix can get better performance and even turn up the setting on their JB+ module. I can't speak to the quality or actual percentage of the 30% ethanol mixture in brazillian fuel, but I imagine you're completely OK to run JB+ at the stock setting at least.

I did just this. I have the VIP intake so my connection was a little off from the way the stock wires sit. You might be able to see what I did in this pic. I did not snug the zip tie tight, just enough to hold it up out of the way.
