Installed it this weekend. Running Map 1, which I believe is the equivalent to the JB3 Map 3.
Never dynoed my car so I couldn't tell you.
However, with the JB3, if I quickly accelerated (manual transmission) and did a quick shift into 2nd, there would be some jerkiness felt as through 2nd gears powerband before shifting into 3rd.
With JB4, I don't feel that. Don't know if I've really pushed it in 2nd yet to do a fair comparison.
My butt dyno says there is an improvement, but that might just be my mind justifying paying $150 for the upgrade. (I bought by JB3 used).
