Best Stage 1 Tune For Mk7 Gti (2024 Updated)

The Jet 15003 Power Programmer for Ford Vehicles is a Perfect Performance Upgrade! Whether you are Stock & want added performance or an Economy Tune; Some Modifications, just needing adjustments; or an all-out Custom Configuration (Gear Ration Change/Tire Size Increase over Stock/Induction/Etc) & want to get the most Bang for your Buck, THIS IS the best product available for the Ford Gas-Powered Vehicles 1996-2004! In addition to Performance/Economy Gains, there is also an On-board Diagnostics Feature to check Trouble Codes! Once the Programmer is applied to an eligible vehicle, it stores factory programming in memory & becomes VIN-Locked to that specific vehicle.

To use it on a different vehicle, OEM Configuration must be returned to the first vehicle. (that is the only downside, but otherwise, I would recommend Jet Performance Products were I asked!.

1. There was no discernable engine performance gain with program changes. Both Jet “performance” map programs were tried. Specific items such as ignition timing or fuel mixtures cannot be custom modified with this programmer.

2. My car lost about 0. 8 mpg average fuel economy with the Jet performance maps installed. 3. The programmer died and had to be replaced. 4. The only value I actually got from this device was to change the speed limiter on my car, and that single feature was not worth the cost of the programmer.

Cam/intake or exhaust improvements provide much more bang for the buck.

Definitely can feel more punch. I stiffened up my shifts as well which I like. I believe I am getting a bit better gas mileage not so sure because I have 305X20X50’s on my truck and they are 31 inches tall by measuring and I programmed in that my tires are 31 inches tall (which is what they measure top to bottom) and so far getting about 25/30 miles to the tank better mileage using 93 octane when I used to use 89 octane.

You can probably get by with just the plug in module if all your after is the performance but at this price it was nice to get the added features and the ability to read check engine light codes as well as remove a check engine light.

Hope this helps.

Save your money. If you think you are gonna plug this thing in and turn your truck into a super car, think again. There is no noticeable change in power, fuel economy or anything else. Does not come ready to use.

have to download software to get started. Comes with a useless CD. Sure you can use it to calibrate new tires sizes, change shift points and rev limiters. but on a stock truck none of that matters much.

I got it to turn off the AFM, hoping maybe to get a little more. If you make other mods and then add this maybe you would notice some performance improvements. If you tune a stock truck hoping for a rocketship.

you will be disappointed.

This is a great tuner. As always it works best on diesel trucks, however, I own a 2007 f150 and it suprised me in it’s performance. I expected to not feel or see anything yet as I am installing the air intake, headers and 3 inch exhaust tomorrow.

But as my truck is raised 6 inches and on 35 inch tires, it doesn’t get the best gas milage. I would say if I baby it I can get about 12 to 13 mpg. After installing the hyper tech max energy tuner I was getting between 17 and 19 mpg when I drove the same way (babying it).

Still that is amazing. The entire goal of my spending 2k on the truck was so I could get at least 20 mpg on my truck as it is my daily driver. However, I am starting to think after I install the rest of these parts I may end up getting closer to 25! Yes that is unreal to say, but if you calculated mpg using miles driven against gallons of gas filled at the pump and came back with 19 mpg I think you would become a believer as well.

I plan on doing even more to get better mpg by only changing out the parts that help that aspect of it. Next thing I think I will change is going to be a coil pack for the starter, spark plug wires, larger oil pan, I am wrapping my long tube headers as well, and will be looking into cam shafts and valve springs also to find out how they may affect mpg.

I think if I can do all the little things that most people do not think matters then the hyper tech tuner will bring all of these elements into play and let me drive my truck without feeling like a grandma going 20 on the highway in a lambo.

lol.

While this tuner is easy to use once you download the proper software/drivers to your pc. The process of getting the proper software/drivers was a pain in the butt. Why the tuner wouldn’t be able to use the most up to date software is beyond me.

Maybe it was the software developers issue. Anyway, once the unit was updated it was pretty straight forward to make any adjustments you want. Took about 10 minutes once I decided on the details of the tuning.

Haven’t noticed any fuel economy gains yet.

Jet Performance Products Power Control Module; Stage 1 (14-22 5. 3L Silverado 1500) Does anyone proof your ads? How does a hitch pin and clip add horsepower to my truck? Is a hitch pin and clip really that expensive? Do I get credit for this review? I have installed a hitch pin and clip to my truck with no power gains.

What is this made of? Plutonium? Anybody else noticed this?.

Got this module to see if it would help with gas mileage. It not only improved my mileage by a full mile per gallon but improved performance by changing the shift points which made my Ford F150 more drivable.

Installation was about 30 minutes.

Sorry kids, no happy story here. Spent 20 min. on hold twice with Jet and no help. Was able to get email returned in a half day. Part did not fit my 2016. all instructions and videos were for a 2015.

Truck was redesigned with computer relocated. Part didn’t fit and broke my plug latch removing it. Very unhappy. Than have to pay $12. shipping to return the wrong part. Total bummer and I’m done.

I purchased this module because I had just done a full tune-up on my Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon 4. 0 and I wanted to ensure it was running as good as possible. Installation was a breeze with the included code scan website and the entire install could have been done by my 13yr old! As soon as I fired it up I noticed it not only cranked right over, it ran so smoothly I was stunned.

I actually leaned into the engine compartment on both sides to see if I could find any movement other than the drive belt and fan. To my complete surprise if it wasn’t for the noise and the fact I knew it was running, you would never know, if you had ear plugs in, it ran completely smooth! The RPM needle is completely still and the is no miss or shake at all from the motor.

If you stare at the Ram Air intake it doesn’t move, ever a little! I’m sold it runs fantastic. KB.

Slightly more torque and improved shift points. Some additional HP based on my seat of the pants dyno. The install was easy and straight forward, less than an hour for sure.

Easy to install. Noticed the improvement i n torque right away and much better shifting. Also drive by wire throttle response lag almost gone. Excellent product by Jet.

i purchased this item in the past for my chevy corvette and i decided to purchase again from American muscle and always great item, fast shipping, wonderful customer service. Would definately buy item again.

DiabloSport Rocks.

The system was easy to upload on the car after updating the tuner. The tune from Diablo was a sufficient starting point. The car did run better but a professional tuner used the Diablo I3 and really opened up my 392!.

Everything is amazing with the pcm swap!!! Just installed it yesterday and definitely shifts, drives better and definitely more power!! Now I can add real power now with an unlocked PCM!!!! Btw to those that are doing it yourself make sure you download the original pcm software/codes to your Diablo so it can put it into the new pcm and not shut down on you!!!!!.

10 minutes to install and does increase over all power. Install in a 1996 GMC K3500 7. 4L. The total ignition timing before the install was 2425 degrees, now it is allowing around 3234 degrees of total timing.

I was using 87 octane fuel w/o ethanol and noticed slight pre detonation at 2900 RPM and above under heavy loads. I used 16 oz. of Race Gas additive per 32 gallons and the detonation stopped. The scan tool confirmed by looking at the knock sensor output.

Have not tried 89 octane fuel yet but suspect that it would yield the same results as the additive. I have seen 2025 HP increases on the engine dyno on other engines when the timing was lower than increased to the optimum for the engine combination.

I should have installed this 20 years a go. Have not checked mileage yet, suspect it could be better if I could drive it normally.

One of the easiest ways to get a quick performance boost. Three bolts on the CPU unit, install and replace. Do yourself a favor and make sure you have it on right. The pins are slightly different on one end.

My truck setup is 2013 Ram 1500 with a Pro Comp 6” lift and 35/12. 50r20 tires. I had a difficult time with getting the software updated either via wifi or line connected. Ended up getting it updated via wifi before I could make any changes, totally fine.

The problem was before it was updated the unit kept freezing on me and took about four attempts for it to finally update. Once updated it was pretty self explanatory. Tire size adjustment wasn’t super accurate to what the device said my tire size was and what my tires actually are.

I have 35” tires and had to set the unit to 33. 5” tires for the speedometer to be accurate. Checked with 3 different gps softwares to confirm actual speed. It’s possible I missed something. One thing I didn’t read and maybe some already know this but I had to learn.

When you select a tune you should drive it for about 75-100 miles before the tune actually finds it’s groove so-to-speak. Again, some people may know that but I didn’t. So the mpg initially was not good but since I’ve driven it for a while it’s improved.

Now that I’ve driven a while and we’re about to take it on a trip I feel pretty confident in the tune/settings.

Installed on a 2017 Camaro SS good bang for the your buck as far as tuning goes but really paid off by disabling the AFM. Probably saved my engine in the long run. I don’t think these GM engines will last much over 125k miles with AFM enabled.

This tuner gives you a decent tune out of the box and is plug and play. Would have upgraded to the predators platinum if I had to do it again knowing what I know now. But very satisfied. Not going to give a lot of power or torque but disabling the AFM was ultimate objective.

Does give nice throttle response and modify a few parameters.

Tons of positive things to say about this: FIrstly, the Throttle Boost function is a great assist to launching as well as shift-feel. the CAI Tune (which is the Diablo + CAI tune, it feeds more fuel to accommodate for an inferred increase in air flow) offers a brisker response time as well as quicky acceleration through the RPM band.

I experienced a lot harder between from 3000-6000rpm. Fuel economy loss was not noticeable. There are a lot of other advanced settings that can be modified as well, which is useful for future modifications.

The platinum series is recommended as it supports custom tunes – room to grow in the future.

Man. this tuner put such a huge smile on my face during the first drive. You can feel how good the throttle feels now. Throttle feels so much more responsive. Another reason for purchasing was to calibrate my speedometer.

Before the tune my speed was marking and additional 15 mph, running 35’s and 4. 56 gear ratio. Now I can actually read my speedometer and not have to calculate my mph. I can also see a increase in mpg, which is a plus.

Overall great product. Did not expect it to do such a good job. Totally worth it.

The Tuner/programmer was very user friendly, the design was slick and the screen and apps are awesome if it would of worked with my 06 6. 0L powerstroke i would of been even happier but i doesnt support it yet.

But over all i would recommend it to anyone.

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX IT TRIPPED ENGINE CODES AND SCT HAS NO ANSWER FOR IT. CANT USE THIS TUNER. STAY AWAY FROM THESE PRODUCTS

Nice size screen, good quality, awesome magnetic mounting feature, and great price!

This exhaust is very tamed when cruising and gets loud when you floor it. It definitely changed the tone from my oem exhaust w/ a muffler delete and got rid on that drone between 2-3k rpm. Installation was simple and took about 30 min upon the vehicle being on jacks.

I have this exhaust paired up to a cts catted DP and it’s quiet on idle. Must cop if you want to change your oem exhaust!.

Sounds fantastic and arrived quickly, but I had lots of issues. The exhaust itself seemed to have been manufactured badly, because not only did the exhaust not reach the downpipe, but one pipe was shorter than the other at the end of the car.

I ended up taking it to a shop to have them weld extra piping to make it reach the downpipe and stuck one tip out farther than the other to make it look even. Would give less stars if not for the sound.

Exhaust sounds great adds a nice deep tone cleaned up a lot of the rasp I didn’t like when it was just a down pipe. however one of the slits on the piece that has the mufflers was bent. The mid pipe wasn’t nearly long enough to mate up to my cts downpipe so if you have an aftermarket down pipe be mindful of that.

I received 3 exhaust clamps so I was able to put the exhaust together but need to go buy an additional two so I can put the tips on.

When I bought my 2020 WRX, the plan going in was to leave it stock. I’m getting older; with this being my fourth vehicle, I decided it was time to stop going full racecar. Things were going acceptably well until the break-in period was over and I stepped on it.

The 2015+ WRX has a very quirky powerband, and I didn’t like it at all. Between that and the overly touchy throttle, I knew my sabbatical from go-fast parts had come to a halt. While this is my first Subaru, this is my second vehicle with an Accessport.

Installation was familiar and as easy as ever — the hardest part is plugging it into the OBDII port by feeling alone. I opted to start with the Cobb OTS 91 octane Stage 1 map, using 93 octane fuel. After the reflash process had finished, I allowed the car to warm up, then drove around for a few hours.

The improvements are immediately apparent; both the throttle input and powerband are much more linear and intuitive. I was expecting a bit of a learning curve considering the throttle map is customized for the Cobb OTS tunes, but that took about two gearshifts to feel out.

Smooth, smooth, smooth is the word of the day. No more lurchy AWD shifts in lower gears, no more accidental launch control takeoffs at stop lights, no more giving my steering wheel a nose boop when flooring it through 4000 RPM.

As it stands right now, the Accessport alone has majorly transformed my two big (and perhaps only) sore spots with the 2015+ WRX. On the 91 octane map, the power feels relatively the same as stock (minus the aforementioned flat spots in the powerband being ironed out,) and all numbers looked great; no DAM dropping or knock, and the air/fuel ratio seems proper enough for a stock turbo application (stoich in lower RPM, low 11s at full tilt.

) I can’t overstate the joy I now feel in driving this car, with just the 91 octane OTS map in place. I plan on trying both the Cobb 93 octane & MAPerformance 93 octane maps down the line, to see how they get along with my car.

The one point of contention to me is the rev hang. I can’t say I notice a difference at all compared to stock, but the thing is, I never felt like the rev hang was atrocious enough in this model year to do anything about it.

I had to “tune out” the rev hang in my previous car, and even still, I remember feeling that my WRX handled it about as well as the previous car did, post-tune. Maybe earlier model years will notice a wanted improvement, but as for me, shifting out of first gear still feels a little floaty.

Again, this has never been an issue to me. Not much else to say, except I wish this is how the car felt from the factory, and while I wish I didn’t have to spend any money to get the car feeling this way, it was worth every penny! Of course, now the floodgates are open.

No beating around the bush here: get your Cobb Accessport from MAPerformance. I have a 2015 WRX Limited with 93k on the clock, never tuned/flashed. Until now. I did try the Cobb OTS Stage 1 91 octane tune and it did smooth out the power delivery, no more rev hang on 1-2 shifts and parking lot driving is much more tolerable (no more launching when pressing accelerator pedal), but it did cause DAM to drop occasionally.

After 1k miles I then flashed to MAPerformance Stage 1 91 octane tune and was immediately blown away by the difference. Power is much more linear and deeper in the MAP than the stock tune/Cobb OTS 91 and pulls hard way past 4500 like the stock tune.

Huge thank you to MAPerformace for tossing in their Stage 1 tune when you purchase from them. It is definitely the tune I’ll be keeping on the car. I must also mention the fast shipping. I ordered on a Thursday and my Accessport arrived on Saturday! Bottom line, don’t be afraid to tune your FA20DIT, just get the tune from MAPerformance.

Install took about 40 minutes all together (mostly the reading/flashing). There are actually like 4 steps IIRC because the DSG is a separate file and it takes as long as the power tune. I started with Stage 1 High Boost and honestly didn’t notice much difference in power.

(Granted it’s 115F here in AZ right now, which could be in play. ) I set up my gauges to display AFR, boost pressure, and IAT and dared flash Stage 2 even though I am on stock airbox and intercooler.

I noticed it this time. More impressive than the OTS tunes are the adjustments made to the DSG. Faster shifts are just the beginning. In auto mode, COBB has adjusted shift points for fuel economy so that instead of rev hanging until 3k RPM to upshift in some cases, it does it around 1.

5-2k. so I no longer have to drive in manual mode if I want better fuel economy! Don’t let that fool you; flooring it will return to the high shift points to get your full rev range. I do have to say those can be a bit jerky when automatic, so I still drive mostly in manual mode where I can sequence the pedal to the shift.

Further impressive is that now when in manual, the display shows you what mode auto would want to shift to, as well as display the gear when in auto – I love it. The only downside I’ve noticed is that whereas prior to the AccessPort, when I hit redline, the ECU tended to give me control over whether I wanted to shift or not, but now it does it almost immediately by itself, resulting several times in a double upshift – but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

(This has all been on OEM+, btw, because I like keeping the auto downshifts) My biggest critique comes for the AccessPort itself. It’s such a nice unit: vibrant display, fast, intuitive, and can display every sensor reading you could ask for.

However, not only have they clearly designed it to not be permanently installed (in fact it has a reminder every time you turn it off to remove it), that mobility is then backtracked by the fact that you can’t use it on any other vehicle.

I mean it has full OBDII compatibility obviously, so I would have liked to have at least been able to manage CEL codes, if not display globally supported sensor readouts. It just seems like a waste of technology.

Overall, if COBB made a DSG-only AP, I would say absolutely get that as soon as you buy the car, then down the road upgrade it to the power increases because of the two, the DSG tune has been far more noticeable.

Installed the AP on my 2015 GTI DSG and the gains are absolutely worth it. The Cobb DSG tuning completely transforms the way the car drives into what it should have been from factory. The Cobb OTS engine tunes give a great boost to the engine performance while still maintaining near-oem feel and refinement.

The MAperformance Stage 1 tune that is uncluded provides a LOT more performance than even the Cobb Stage 1 tune. Overall the Accessport is a great addition for any GTI owner, highly recommend.

You’ve read the other reviews. the ones telling you this is the best 1st mod out there, “do it now,” “what are you waiting for,” etc. But you might still be wondering if it’s a good idea for you personally.

? Well, even though we’ve never met, the fact that you’re here looking up mods for your performance awd sedan tells me you’re probably the exact kind of person that would benefit from something like this 😀 It’s easy.

I mean, real easy! I was a nervous Nelly the first time I flashed my ECU; it was 2 minutes of straight terror. Not because it was complicated or hard, but because I’ve just got a little but of worry in my DNA.

But then it was over. 2 minutes of stress + MAP personalized OTS Map = at least 20HP gain to the wheels. I didn’t expect to be smiling nearly as much as I was on my way to work. It was worth every penny for the first pull alone! Getting to feel my car absolutely come alive like it never had before was an absolute treat.

I’ve always loved my 16 WRX, but it’s even more special now. If you’re still reading this, thank you for coming to my TED Talk. I’d kindly recommend you read through the Accessport Installation Instructions next, cause it’s probably already in your cart.

Oh, and a free T-shirt deal or gift card for purchases over 500? THE CHERRY ON TOP :D.

I bought this for my 2017 5. 7 rt. Easy pcm swap. I have a kn cold air intake, bbk 85 mm throttle body, installed bbk long tube headers and mid pipes. Contacted hemi fever for a custom tune. That really jump up the power.

I love it Good product This is hands down the easiest tuner I’ve ever seen. The support from Diablo is great as well! Would recommend to anyone looking for an easy way to add a stock tune to your ride.

Looking forward to getting a custom tune done.

So my 2008 F-250 Super Duty with the 6. 4L Powerstroke displayed a check engine light. Preliminary investigation revealed EGR malfunction. Then a cloud of white smoke out the tail pipe. EGR cooler malfunctioning.

Texas does not require Diesel powered motor vehicles and motorcycles to submit to Emissions testing. So I deleted the whole EGR system to include that blasted cooler and the entire exhaust system. I then plugged in the H&S Mini Max tuner, downloaded the files to the trucks computer.

Started the truck and This truck never responded as well as now. My MPG went from 12 to 17 and the sound of those turbines of the turbo chargers when you turn the truck off sound like a jet!! Some black smoke but only when you accelerate.

But when you accelerate its Unbelievable!!! Oh and it’s on the lowest setting and on stock mode! I won’t even try the Wild Mode! I could increase the HP by a touch of a button but there’s really no reason for that other than racing.

I guess that’s why it’s called a race tuner but you can use it just to tune it and then store it in case you have to download a file or something like that. I’ve had this tuner for about 3 months. I only used it to tune after the deletes.

I haven’t had an issue since! Totally recommend the tuner. Best $600 I’ve spent onmy truck. I’m sure there are cheaper tuners but you will be impressed by this one.

I was nervous to order a 600$ piece of hardware that’s no longer even in buisness. It’s been installed for 3 weeks and is the best thing ever for my 07. 5 ram2500. Installation was a breeze. I went from 13.

5mpg on the display, about 11 hand calc. To 19. 6mpg on the display and 19. 5 hand calc!!! Didn’t expect gains anywhere near this. Pair this with 4″ flo-pro dpf delete pipe to keep the tail pipe stock looking.

The 4″ pipe has just the right tone and volume, 5″tbe will def piss off your neighbor. Install instructions: 1)Install minimaxx (20min) make sure it’s hooked to a key on hot. 2)unplug and disconnect all connections from exhaust (pb blaster and an oxypropane torch were my best friend here for all the threaded connections) 3)drop exhaust from turbo to resonator (save yourself time and struggles and put a jack under the tranny and remove the tranny cross member) 4)install new straight pipe 5)unplug 3 egr plugs 6) on minimaxx select install tuning and the minimaxx will guide you through everything! Downloading tune takes about 10-15min.

And no check engine lights. Oh yeah, don’t scrap your exhaust because you might need it on day.

Bought a H&S for my 2009 duramax, really woke up the truck. I recommend putting a air dog or similar on. You’ll need the extra fuel if you run on performance mode. Had a 2008 duramax two years ago with a original H&S mini max and it was on since new never had any problems.

H&S is the way to go👍.

So I bought this product about 6 months ago. When I installed it, it was great. You could definitely notice a change in shifting patterns and more power. All was good until I installed a new Carven TR on my 2003 tahoe.

I have been running the “tow tune” on my tahoe since I purchased the superchips Dashpaq and when the muffler was installed, my car ran like a dying dog. It lost all low end power. I thought maybe it was the muffler, but when I took off the tune, it ran fine again.

I then tried the “extreme tune” and the “87 tune” and they all ran the same. They definitely should advertise this product for stock vehicles only. Because if something as small as a muffler change affects the way the vehicle drives on these tunes, imagine with bigger changes like an intake or a catback system.

Overall I wish they would provide more info on the product. Save your money and get a blackbear tune or any custom tune for that matter.

This tuner has completely changed the way I view my truck. It has the 4. 6 3v which is a huge dog from the factory, and admittedly after many bolt-on parts it still was. This tuner mostly changed that, in terms of keeping my motor revved up and allowing me to be in its prime power band more often, not necessarily making more power(maybe 5-10 peak hp gain on the 91 octane tune running 93 octane pump gas).

Where this tuner shines is its three separate transmission maps, that completely changes the way the trans feels and shifts. The shifts are extremely fast and aggressive without being Jerky and power delivery is phenomenal and extremely smooth.

If youre lookin for a way to change the way your truck feels and/or make it go a tad faster, this is 100% the way to go. Now my favorite thing about this unit is the sheer amount of live data that you can view at once.

I just wish there was an easier way to change the color as well as more temperatures for the different fluids. Either way, 100% recommend this tuner to anyone hoping for that little bit if extra customization after doing basic bolt-on mods.

Ordered the DashPaq Diesel for my 2015 F350 XLT 6. 7L Power-stroke Turbo Diesel with 153k miles on it. Was skeptical at first, but this made a huge difference! My truck is completely stock right now and the first thing I notice with the built in “Extreme” tune was the throttle response, very little hesitation which improved my 0-60 drastically.

Not only that, gear shifting was a lot smoother. I was hoping that I could erase the Ford MyKey 80mph limiter because I don’t have the master ignition key but I am still very excited with the performance.

A little expensive, not sure how much it would cost to get a custom tune from a shop, assuming it would cost much more though. Haven’t tried the fuel economy tune yet, don’t know if I want to seeing how the truck performs now! Note: I’ve seen videos with a truck being tuned while running.

For this application, ensure you start the tune with the ignition key in the “run” position (do not start engine), then follow the on screen instructions. I will definitely be upgrading my air intake soon for an even better experience.

I just installed this today on my MK7 Golf R. I have to admit, the install was torture. Not only was it difficult (I highly recommend a second person to help with some parts), but I did not get all of the required screws to put the thing together.

Luckily I live a couple miles away from a hardware store and was able to get the required parts (after 3 different runs to the store, I should add). In the end I was missing almost all of the smaller screws (I think the M4 ones) and a lot of washers.

In addition to this, the online instructions are pretty bad and hard to follow. I ended up braking the tube barb that comes with it because of the bad instructions, but the hardware store came in handy for that too.

I wish there was a video guide made by COBB or at least more detailed pictures on the guide. The air filter also is pushed down by the top of the airbox and I’m not sure if I made a mistake or if this is just poor design.

HOWEVER, I was absolutely blown away with the final result. If it weren’t for the amazing results, this would probably be getting a 1 or 2 star review. The intake noises are extremely loud with the windows down and the “WOOOSSSHHHH” of the intake is addicting to listen to.

As an added bonus, every time I let off the gas I hear a loud “PSHHH” noise, similar to a blowoff valve but a deeper tone. Performance wise, my butt dyno can feel a small increase in power, and according to the Accessport, I’m making in between 3 and 5 more pounds of boost than before (when running Stage 1 High Boost with the intake, I was just on the Stage 1 flash before).

Definitely worth the effort and trips to the hardware store.

install went relatively simple minus a few hiccups. rip out stock, install new instructions were good enough to get the job done, although the problems I did have was trying to sort out the positioning my JB4 module to get the intake and JB4 to mount.

ended up ripping out the battery to get it sorted, with a down pipe and intake the car really starts to take shape in what i want it to do. all in all with the snorkel and intake its already miles ahead of the competition in terms of price and quality.

I just installed the intake today. It looks great in the engine. The instructions for installation were terrible! I agree with some of the above comments. The process also has you trying to fit your hands into hard to reach spots.

The rubber gaskets the go around some of the holes were also a nightmare because they would come off when you tried to put the air box in the car. Aside from that, so far I am pleased with performance.

Overall the installation was easy to do. Couple of minor issues. The instructions are a bit outdated. In section 9 they state to refer to the Banks iQ software and installed kit, owners manual for software installation and operation instruction before beginning section 9 / Automatic Transmission Learning.

No such instructions came with the unit. Called tech support and they said the truck just needs to be driven in each power level before putting a heavy load on it so the transmission will learn when to shift.

No software installation is necessary. Seems the instructions are outdated and need to be revised. Next issue was feeding the cable through the existing harness grommet as per the instructions. The existing harness is very tight going through the feed through.

I was worried that I would rip the Banks cable connectors off the wires while trying to pull the through. Also it’s very hard to get to from the inside of the cab. I opted to drill a hole in the firewall in a more convenient location and add my own grommet.

This worked very well and was much easier. Last issue is the mounting velcro for the tuner. The glue on the back of the pads would not stay secure and just kept peeling off. I put additional glue on the pads.

So far so good. The superguage is great, easy to set up and install. Overall I’m very satisfied. Gave it 4 stars since Banks needs to update their instructions and provide better mounting for the tuner.
