I am fully aware that there are cheaper alternatives likes JB4/Racechip. And that JB4 offers a ton more features, ethanol mix, etc etc. None of that matters to me as much as a perfectly smooth, like stock experience, but more power.
My concerns with something like JB4 is that it’s running on hardware that’s well over a decade old and the signal processing isn’t real time. This is noticeable in how it drives.
Dähler uses power from the battery rather than pulling power from the sensors and a uses a realtime sensor communication protocol.
All in, it’s a great option for those that want a simple ‘fit and forget’ solution for adding a healthy dose of extra power in a completely transparent manner that feels like stock, but more.
