Please note when doing a firmware update JB unit must be connected to car and key in the on position.
This thread is specific to the Golf 1.8TSI US model.
The unit is called a stage 1 or JB1 as it is called on the forum because it is a simpler unit compared to the yet to be released JB4 and does not signify stage tuning as one is use to when it comes to flash tuning.
[FONT="]These units are now available and a ready for order at http://burgertuning.com/vw_volkswagen_Group3_JB1_tuner.html
Retail price is $[FONT="]37[FONT="]9 plus $35 for the option[FONT="]al Data Cable[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

The JB1 is a true plug and play tune offering safe and adjustable gains. It can be installed and removed in minutes.
Install instructions:
Install instructions can be found here: http://burgertuning.com/instructions...G_EA888_G3.pdf
The JB Stage 1 is suitable for the EA888 Gen 3 motors with Golf 1.8T.
The unit ships with a base setting in map 1 that increases the boost by +4.8psi over stock that is safe to be used with 91US octane and up. and 95 Euro. The typical power gains on this setting are 35whp and 45ft lb. .
User interface software:
For users that have opted to purchase the optional BMS Data Cable you will need to download and install the user interface at this link http://www.n54tech.com/flash_files/jb4_interface.zip .
A 3rd Party has developed Mac software to use that works well, it can be downloaded here: http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21742

Please note when doing a firmware update JB unit must be connected to car and key in the on position.
You will know you connected when you can see values in the user adjustment page. If these are 0 the unit is not connected to the laptop.

Firmware is what runs the JB1 unit. As we release updates or new firmware version this can be uploaded to your unit free of charge.
Map selection:
In order to change the map in the picture below under the logging tab you can pick the required map. Under status the unit must show connected. This is done by clicking file and selecting connect.
Upon shipping the following maps are active:
Map 0: Stock with complete pass through i.e. the JB1 does nothing
Map 1: Tuned map, this supports 91 octane and up at the base boost setting as well as bolt ons. If higher octane is used the boost can be increased as well as with bolt ons. We have found cars running 3 handle up to 5.2psi boost safety add just fine.
Map 3: Methanol map to be used with our integrated meth system. Email for details.
Map 6: User adjustable boost profile (see below) Active on units that ship 30.09.2015 and after. If you have previously purchased your unit before reading this please email me george@burgertuning.com to receive a copy of the firmware.
Map 1 Boost settings
Below is a diagram of where the user adjustment is made for boost over stock. Add in the value and click save.
There is a new release of the interface so now the boost setting change is under Boost Safety as circled in red. Updating your existing one if previously downloaded is not required.
Map 6 boost selection:
Please see next post for instructions on where the extra plug gets connected. This is plug A in the install instructions. Map 6 is optional to use and there is a bit of skill required to connect the plug due to its location.
For map 6 you will need to connect to the unit and select map 6. If you have previously purchased your unit before reading this please email me george@burgertuning.com to receive a copy of the firmware. On units that ship from 30.09.2015 there is no need. If your unit has a exposed blue wire you will need to email.
Below is where you enter the values for map 6. It works similar to map 1 so the value is the additional boost over stock.
The unit can log boost on the two sensors, dme boost as well as the rail pressure. The balance of the engine parameters and settings in the picture are exclusive to the yet to be released JB4 but it gives you a idea of what is to come.
Guys with boost gauges that are working off the OBD signal will only see stock boost.
If you suspect you triggered a engine light by unplugging a sensor by not waiting for the car to go into sleep mode rather clear faults before a dealer visit.
