I know this wasn't your question but if you're trying to decide on a flash tune go with AA. I would have if I didn't already get JB3.

Problem - for me (1 Have to remove and send ecu.
(2 Something goes wrong, the're far away.

P.S. how do like the jb3, will you upgrade to stage 2?

From the reviews I've read Gintani is not what you should consider even if it's close to you. I'm the type that would prefer a flash tune myself but Dinan, GIAC OR Cobb weren't/aren't available yet. JB3 has been great so far with no error codes and most likely will get stage 2 when it's officially released. Since you didn't get anything yet, you should wait a couple more months to see if cobb comes out soon or get JB3 Stage 2 when it's out.

Welcome to the club fellow Long Islander!

OK, so with all the input I just ordered JB3-Stage 2 w/usb cable. Mike says you don't need CAN tool with 2 as you can do all it does from the steering wheel controls plus set different maps!

Can't wait to get it in, maybe this weeend, will good weather too.

mrbuckets · 10-04-2011, 10:46 PM

Good choice but I think what you get now is the BETA version. Not the officially finished tune.

True. Its Beta for now. But they will
update any changes after production
at no extra charge once the final version
is out. Per our communication.
