Burger Tuning JB4 Golf 1.8TSI MQB specific information thread

I'd do more runs with the 2nd and 3rd and see how they log. #4 is not benefitting your power and on the edge.
Here's one of mine from last summer. This was stock jb4 fol of 45.

I'm currently on your map #3 that I suspect I recommended with FOL 50 (not needed) but haven't logged it this year. At this point it's about gas quality and minor variations in vehicles. I might leave it and try bumping 4500 by 0.5 psi to 16.5 to try and even out the boost curve

Alrighty, here are some more runs.

Honestly, I'd stick with the 1st one and maybe take another .5 off from 6k up since you aren't using the power there anyway. I think I get a little better gas here. You're holding more boost and have enough overall advance in the 16 psi curves but they probably don't feel much stronger because the timing is taking a hit in the midrange where that extra boost is. Curves have the right look for a 1.8 boost curve with that octane.

To sum it all up, I’m just going to run Map 2…. JK, thanks for all the helps. I will log each year or when gas changes to make sure things look alright.

Don't get hung up on the numbers. The last log looks good. What's important is you learned how to tune your car.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. DIY was why I went with the JB4. It was like overclocking a PC, satisfying. Actually, it was really like the opposite of under volting a GPU to lower temp. Just replace MHz with RPM and voltage with gas.

Does anyone here have any experience running an aftermarket DP w/ the JB4? Everything is stock currently. I have an APR DP and am wondering if I need to tweak anything with my JB4 unit if I install it.

 

[ZuMBLe]

You just need to install a spacer and tweak it so you don't get a CEL. The JB4 can't do anything about it (anymore).

 

[goodvibes]

I wonder of you could load another country's SW to maintain the CEL cancelling. Spacer still a better way to go.

You probably could. With the JB4 blanking the CEL, you lose cruise control though. You're better off just getting the spacer setup right.

Can I purchase a used Group 2 or 3 for the 2.0T and use it on my Alltrack? There are more of these for sale than the 1.8T version.

They are all the same. Get the 2.0t version. I strongly advise you to get the bluetooth for it.

Excellent thank you, and I agree on Bluetooth.

 

[goodvibes]

I'm sure it's a lot easier and informative while rolling but I'm perfectly happy with the USB functionality.

Something like this?
