Installed my cai, feeling the difference,but gotta try it with jb4 because unfortunately my power cord died and a new one is on the way. Does anyone know a way to install the obd2 cord without putting it through the firewall, because i found water under my mats after the installation

There is a service ODBII port under the hood. It's where Mechanics will plug their stuff in. I have heard from a few folks that they ran their JB off that service port with no issues.

Can i get a picture of the exact location? Thank you

How noticeable is the difference between map 2 ,3 and 4? Approximately what are the hp gains on them?

Any one try the new AFE Gemini exhaust yet I'm curious for some sound clips I'm real close to pulling the trigger on one but this is for my wife's car
and just wanted to hear it first. I just installed her AFE cold air intake exhaust is next then JB4.

Map6 332 hp and 379 ft tq
Map6 335 hp and 381 ft tq
Map6 345 hp and 375 ft tq this map did not work on the street, the car would hit the torque limit and close throttle
It's currently getting Meth, the custom Map 6 should put it around 350 hp

Interesting, I only have MAP 0, 1, 2, and 3

NVMD, you must have the 3.3TT

Did you notice any gains from the big bore throttle?

Outstanding! The most I'd run is Map2. Almost 50 lbs-ft of added torque is plenty for me.

BTW, what is the story on the "heat soak"?

2.5 smart stream, yes it has a Map4, not a Map5. The big bore throttle is on my 3.3, I have two stingers. If it made a difference, I ran a second 10.9 in my 3.3 Sunday the 19th. I do believe it was a small part of all the other mods.

Dyno runs, we didn't let it cool down enough between the Map2 and Map3 runs. After it cooled, we didn't waste time and went right to Map4. Goal was to continue to max it and get to the Map6.

Is there anyone who owns 2.5L Stinger here?

I do.
