Just installed a JB4 "piggyback"

I just installed a Burger Tuning JB4. Took her for a quick spin: I like it. It's not life-changing power, but she's now as fast as my Volvo 850 T5 with a manual boost controller.

I'll have more thoughts on this tonight or tomorrow, and a full Alltrack JB4 Install DIY in a day or two.

Random notes while I have it on my mind:
  • The install took about 2 hours.
  • I removed the battery to get the OBDII wire through the firewall. It makes it so much easier with the battery gone.
  • Some people say they can get the lowest connector done without jacking the car or using ramps. I have no idea how. I didn't even try without jacking and removing the belly pan/splash guard.
  • Some of the connection clips are difficult to undo. A very small flat blade screwdriver helps, and IMHO is the best tool.
  • Battery terminals: 10mm socket.
  • Belly pan torx: T25.
  • Belly pan bolts: 13mm socket.
