How come you dont just install it yourself? My JB1 took only 1 hour to install, but that was only because I couldnt loosen the sensors. If the sensors came off more easily, the installation would have only taken 5 mins.

I’m super bummed because I like the unit when it works.
How does the car even function when the unit stops working? Does the car just stall or stop working? Or it just feels stock because the piggyback is not modifying any values?

5 minutes? Really? If that's the case I'll do it this week.

Yea 5mins or even less if the sensors can come off easily.. It took me over an hour but really 95% of that time was spent trying to loosen the 3 sensors and trying to figure out how to even loosen them. I wasnt sure if I was trying to disconnect them correctly because they were so stuck. Eventually they came off. Some of the sensors are positioned in a way that prevents you accessing them easily, so they can be hard to loosen. Like the manifold sensor.

the turbos turn off.
And although it’s a 6cly is worthless without some turbo juice.

As far as timing goes, the install the second time around took 5 minutes. First try was an hour Because I couldn’t find the instructions super helpful.

Last week the car lost boost. I am sad the Dinan is not working. I have asked for a full refund for the kit and install. I think the problem is related to the stop/start function. The P0236 error code is always there but no check engine light yet. When the kit is removed the P0236 goes away. Dinan is aware of this.

I'm still running mine with absolutely no problems. Other than myself being an idiot and bending a pin on the fuel rail sensor on install, both the tune and Dinan service has been great. Definitely a noticeable change in performance....problem is between the Dinan tune and my ASR component, my foot has gotten alot heavier and fuel mileage way down haha.
