Sooo...after about 6 mos messing around with this thing, reaching out to Terry Burger dozens of times...getting NO helpful feedback AT ALL....I decided to pull the Burger JB4 for good!
I know some people love it, but it's just too quirky to make me feel all warm and fuzzy about it like a K TUNE does. And I don't care what he THINKS...NOTHING is as good as a reflash of an ECU. I know...I have a Ktuned RDX and it's like factory, but WAY faster, vs the Burger unit.
And funny part? I have a bored TB, HPS intake, mid pipe, intercooler and intercooler piping now and it 'feels' just as fast as the Map 1 and 2 from burger! and MUCH safer.
The final straw was the valve flutter/knocking (?) at low to mid throttle in the first few miles of driving, even when warmed up for 15+ minutes in the garage...Enough was enough.....
Just a heads up and something to contemplate when modding the Type S...although with so few really powerful mods, at least on 23+(no Ktune yet) it's a bit frustrating....
