not worth it at all. if you want a tune, find someone with HPT or check out Trifecta Performance

oh man.. do a search... 1/2 the people say dont waste your money and get a tune. other half (who have them) say go for it because it is removable and they all love the result.

You will not get a respone by asking anyone on here because its just people bashing eachother. Only one guy who bought it has not liked it. Thats it. everyone else loved it.

I had one on a manual, I liked it. But, not many people had tried the trifecta route at the time. Now after seeing the good reviews from an actual tune from Trifecta for about the same price, I'd go that route if you are considering the Jet module. The jet "chip" works, but its not THAT impressive.

i have a stage 2 module its nice b ecause of the fact im still under warrenty and i can take it off. performance wise it ok, you'll feel it the mid range mostly. Its a "universal" tune if you will. it all depends on what your looking for

in short, the jet module works, it isn't the best "tune" but it improves you performance. The trifecta tune at the moment is the better tune. Until someone dynos the two on the same day on the same dyno we may never know.

you can do that at stock power levels if you get a B&M shift+ or have trifecta tune your tranny to shift hard. The transmission is set from the factory to shift slowly and smoothly, to make the ride more comfortable. Its impossible to chirp like that. Thats like slipping the clutch out slowly on a 1-2 shift in a manual (because thats exactly what the auto tranny is doing). If you want to chirp in a manual, shift as fast as you can, and let the clutch out fast. The B&M Shift+ tells the auto tranny to let out the clutch faster, and Trifectas tune can do the same.

It'll do what it says, but you'll get much better results with HP Tuners + a knowledgeable tuner or a Trifecta tune.

I guess. Tuning on an N/A car is never gonna yield HUGE results. 14hp is the most you might get out of a solid tune on our cars anyways. Also.....Jegs? C'mon now. You drive a sport compact. Read something and visit websites that are sport compact related!

For u to compare... I have gmp intake, header, down pipe with high flo cat and gmp performance exaust and had the jet performance module and felt little to no difference. I ended up going with the Trifect tune and had him tune my auto trans to shift harder also. Vince does a great tune and so easy to work with. If i was you I wouldnt waste your money on the Jet product unless you want to end up not being happy any taking it off and getting a tune insted...Also for the money that you spend on jet you can get your engine and tranny tuned for the same price....

You'll like the Jet Performance module...it is not earth shattering but it will get rid of the low speed lag before 4K RPM. The best benefit is that you can simply unplug it at any time.

No doubt a tune for your car will provide more power...but the module is just a plug and play item for those of us that don't want to mess with the internal settings of the ECM with a tune.
