ECU tune (Enzo) vs JB4

So I'm considering getting the JB4...but now maybe the Enzo tune.. lets list out the pro's vs cons for both. I'm sure this will help future members as well and new JB4 users.


Enzo is $1399 for ECU map and JB4 with bluetooth comes out to $709..

ADD INFO! anything you can think of and from experience would be great!

If you're keeping the stock turbo I would definitely recommend the Enzo tune. Absolutely amazing, great customer service, zero issues. Highly recommended. FBO vs stock I saw gains of +90hp and +111tq with the Enzo tune.

If you're local I'd say it's a no brainer, go see Enzo.

Can you elaborate on possible warranty issues?

How about reliability of the car?

The Enzo is double the price of the jb4, the jb4 gives you 40whp and 100wtq that's why it's a tough decision.. All though I know Enzo has there tune at 430hp and 450tq.dont remember if that's at the wheels

If you get 50whp more with Enzo, then that's the way to go. That being said, id be surprised to hear the jb4 tune was that much more conservative compared to the Enzo. Hope to hear more input on this.

I've had the Enzo tune for over 18k miles and haven't had any issues. I've tried various tuning boxes and I just felt the ecu tune was smoother, more reliable and stronger than the piggybacks. That being said a lot of people have great results with the jb4 and now that I upgraded the turbo I am running a jb4 as a boost controller stacked with the Enzo flash and have had amazing results.

We offer both and gains should be the last thing you need to consider.

Both tunes are 100% customized so you can get as much gains as you would like. If you think JB4 maps are too conservative, use custom map 6 and raise boost. If you think ENZO maps are too conservative, ask them for a more aggressive map.

Flash tune will have a smoother power delivery but will lack in features, flexibility and upgrades. It is also a hassle to go back to stock or do any dealership visits if you are on a flash tune

+ as you know flash will cost double the JB4

Note: Either tune will provide more than enough power with their default maps
