I'm highly considering this option. please share your guys experience with it how is it holding up, reliabilty, Dyno, issues etc.
(I know there is an old thread about JB4 but its OLD its more of an update for that thread)

Reason is this is what I can afford ATM and is easily reversible.

THANK YOU!

I really like mine. I’ve had it maybe 9 or 10 months with no issues. Super easy to install and uninstall (I uninstalled it for an unrelated dealer warranty visit). Significant power addition but I haven’t dynoed it. Honestly though I can’t imagine having much more power it just overwhelms the front tires.

I was thinking about buying one, but I don't want to pay the outrageous Bluetooth connection device price.

I had one and it was great. The BT always connected and worked flawlessly. Switching maps also a breeze.
It pulled a little more on the low end than my current hondata which pulls more on top.
Great bang for the buck IMO. All of my experiences with JB (VW and Honda) have been great.

Been on JB4 for 4 years, and it's still working great. I just switched to Map 1 from Map 2, it's still pulling pretty good in low gears. I love mine, and would like to hear from ones who have years of ownership. :thumbsup:

I have been running on JB4 for about 2 years now, with NO issues. I have a PRL HVI, Boomba Racing BPV, Ultimate Racing Track-Spec exhaust, Radium PCV Catch Can. Very noticeable drivability change, with it pulling very hard... I am quite happy with how it runs !
