Hey all,
I'm currently running DM stage 2 software on 98RON pump gas, with a JB4 stack on map 6 (additive not absolute target). George has helped dial-in the settings nicely. Boost is hitting 25psi, timing climbs up to 15-16, afr looks spot on and fuel trims are in check. I have some minor timing pull but all kept under -2. The car is running really great.

I am not running the afr wire tap as my understanding is that it's not needed for a stack over tune, I am not sure though? Any thoughts on that from the experts would be appreciated!
Thx!

If George says you don't need it then you don't. Looks good.

Installed the JB4 w/ BT on the 2018 R today, other mods include a CTS TIP and APR intake. Decided to try my hand at logs, however I didn't read up though on what the best method is, just went from a standstill up through to 4th.

There were a few runs where I swear I felt a pulse in/surge in boost, and overall it didn't feel as strong as I was expecting. The JB4 was previously on my GTI, and was experiencing some errors which George believes were most likely related to Plug D. As far as I could tell Plug D looks OK.

Could we maybe update the 2nd post by George to include directions on what the best method for logging is?

The surging is probably the timing being pulled....
