Installed my used jb4 unit i got from a forum member on vwvortex. Unit is a rev 2 jb1 upgraded to jb4. Upon arrival, unit was already set to map 6 per previous owner After install, I changed map to map 1 and set boost failsafe psi to 4.8 (saw that 1hr jb1 tutoral by Cupertino Steve on youtube that you can set it to 4.8 as a "custom" 4.8)

I did a couple pulls with it installed right away then logged a stop to 5th gear.

my set up is:
2016 R 6MT
91 octane chevron gas
neuspeed intake
outdoor temp based of car said 53 degrees

Attached is my log. I started logging from deadstop to 5th gear. I used a residential street that completely open but has a short bend at the beginning before straight away. If someone could check it out and let me know if map1 is not right or I did something wrong. Given that the unit is used, is there away I can reset the unit to stock?

I want to start using map 6 so i have more adjustability and can learn more about tuning/adjusting. There are a couple examples that the youtube video i watched that i might want to try. he gives an example of "torque around town" but mentions its a dsg map..and then an example of clutch saver for us MT owners.

Yeah.... we need more plot lines. Or just upload the pull to datazap.

BTW, it is set to how it ships if you put it at Map1.

Did you let off the throttle in 3rd?

Next time slow to 30. Put it in 3rd. Hit start. Floor it (the whole time) and wind out 3RD, lift off throttle and shift into 4th, floor it again to just a few seconds at the bottom of forth. Hit stop. Post to datazap.

To me your logs look good, IAT are staying down, no timing corrections, and you hitting a good amount of boost for now downpipe :)

Am I looking at this wrong, or is your RPM varying a lot?

The actual JB4 is set to 4 over boost on program 1.

I hope this works out for you.
