These are the mods I plan to do while under factory warranty. I just wanted to share my results.

Here is the baseline for my M2.


JB+:
The JB+ is as straight forward as it can get. Unplug one sensor and install the JB+ in between the OEM plugs. I just tie wrapped mine to keep it from vibrating. I set mine at the 12 o’clock position so it’s roughly a 3psi gain.
I drove with this mod for a couple days before installing the DP and intercooler. I am very happy with just this cheap upgrade. Midrange power is noticeably increased. Well worth it in my opinion.

Wagner EVO2 Competition Intercooler:
Installation was surprisingly difficult due to the OEM clamps/clips. I fought with the clips for 30 minutes before giving up and just forcing it off. I still have no idea what the trick to removing these are. The fit and finish is great.

Fabspeed 200 Cell Cat Downpipe:
This was very easy to install. The fit and finish is perfect.

I didn’t notice any real change in power once the intercooler and downpipe was installed. The audible experience is great. The turbo can be heard building boost clearly and the overall exhaust note is pleasing to the ear.

Dyno Results:




We made a run with the JB+ set to max but the M2 gave me a check engine light so I backed it down to the 12 o’clock position.

Final thoughts:
Get the JB+ and set it at 12 o’clock. It’s cheap and made a very noticeable gain. The intercooler and downpipe makes the car sound awesome, but it’s really a modification to support future mods.

FYI, I purchased everything from Mike at Extreme Power House. Drop him a PM for quotes. Great guy and easy to deal with.

The trick to the black plastic clips is to push on either end (the raised square parts) towards the intercooler. You can do them one end at a time. Pops right off after that.

^ This is pretty much my configuration - I have the Dinan sport tuner set at the sport+ setting since I installed the Wagner Evo 1 intercooler, and I'm waiting (and waiting) for the sport cat downpipe. Been running 94 octane since I got the sport tuner.

Agreed the guys at X-PH are awesome. I ordered the downpipe & sport tuner direct from their respective manufacturers and the intercooler from Extreme. Quick shipping, great price, no hassles.

Curious what the CEL was for at +4 psi?

The JB+ manipulates the raw data going to the ECU by subtracting the voltage signal. So the higher you set the JB+ the more it lowers the voltage signal.

BMW set the low range of the signal to a certain value. Apparently I go below that once I max the JB+.

Suppose that makes sense. Interesting that none of the guys running the Dinantronics tuner are experiencing that

love the +60 HP surge @5100

No noticeable power increase from DP? That's a first.

[Gimmethecash]

Were the IC and DP installed prior to the second set of dyno charts? I can't tell for sure from your post.

Awesome write up OP, im glad you like your new mods

Thank you

The second dyno run was done with all three mods.

Nice!!

I have had the dinan sport tuner set to race mode, with a wagner comp 1 intercooler and the Fabspeed DP for 6k miles now. Never a CEL and it feels like a factory setup.

Its a perfect setup and plenty quick. Midrange power is amazing which makes it even better for street duty.

What exactly was the code you got with +4psi?

It was P007B and P007D.

Would the JB+ on max cause a CEL without the mods?

I'm not 100% sure. If I had to guess it would.

Seems like whatever the JB+ maxxed out is no good for these engines. Whereby multiple people have had the dinan product in race mode without issue.

JB4+ and Dinan sport do exactly the same thing. Cars respond differently. Environment condition and installation should also play a part.

Anyway, weird to see charge air temperature sensor codes doing what op has done.

Why?

I agree. All mods work in conjunction with each other. I can promise you are going to be making more power with the Sport Cat. You may not feel it on your butt dyno but the power with the tuner installed is definitely there.

Glad you are happy with the setup though!
