Do you guys know any tunes that are not as aggressive besides obviously uni. I don’t want to do a downpipe. Would it be better to do like a miestro

Nope...
Is your 1.8 4 Motion? If not, no Maestro for you.
APR

So if you want a nice safe tune, go APR and forget about it.

IS20 tune and not the stage 1 tune @ ZuMBLe. You can get an IS20 tune from APR designed for no downpipe, and that's pretty conservative. Looking at your new log @Teo1.8t I agree with everyone else, you must have bad gas or something, the tune is right on the ragged edge, but at almost 5psi lower than I would expect for your setup. Maybe I've been spoiled with high boost in my logs

Corrected my previous post. Thanks!
Yes APR IS20 87 Octane Non-Test Pipe map.
I'd try going to another gas station or look for loose metal parts rattling around on the engine.

To clarify for new people, this is because loose/rattling parts on the engine can trick the knock sensors into thinking there is knock and the timing needs to be reduced when it doesn't.
I'm running it and it seems fine? At least no issues with logging etc. I run my JB4 for logging 99% of the time in Map 0 though.

Hello everyone..
so I am very new to this JB4 and I am not sure I did this right or not.. can anyone please point me to the right direction?
I actually have had jb4 sometime now but never bother tweaking anything. installed it and set map2 and forgot about it.
I recently updated firmware (at least I think) and then tried to log it and not sure this is going in the right direction.
Car is mainly stock with IS12 and JB4.

We need a log of the car in 3rd gear, where you floor it from 2700 RPM to at least 6000 RPM. I know that seems dangerous, but that's really the only way to accurately analyze how the car is doing.
What fuel is in the tank?

Hi Thanks!!
I am going to do that on my way back home from work and will upload that!! (may need to take a detour to the highway
)I believe its 94 octane in the tank.
