Nice!

I already chastised my roommate for not taking the pic in landscape mode or framing the car correctly.


I am in Newport Beach at the moment, if you ever want to meet up or need help troubleshooting something with the wagon, let me know!

Much appreciated, sir! I am currently having some limp mode issues under load in high gear when the car is hot. Can't figure it out for the life of me!

Not that I know of, just the piggy back deal. Is it an option that I can pickup?

Since Dustin was local I jumped at the opportunity to plant the "mod bug" I mean, help him diagnose some issues with his E61.

Since he already had a JB4 (hands down the tune to get IMO) I set him up with the usb cable so he can easily access more of the JB4 capabilities. The JB4 is a powerful weapon for the performance enthusiast, in addition to the bump in power the JB4 offers code reading and datalogging capabilities, among other things.

We installed the usb cable, updated his JB4 firmware, read some codes, and did a couple logs. Since I was there with my various laptops and cables, I plugged in with WinKFP and flashed the SAT transmission software.

Logs showed boost way under an the 30FF code confirmed a boost leak. We ran out of time/daylight to further diagnose the issue but at least we have some data to work off of.
