Add a few gallons of E85 - should help zero most of that KR out and get a bit more advance. None of that KR is egregrious - highest is maybe -2.5?

He's got 87 in there, so at least put 93 in before going E.

Gotta be.
Maybe a little too general but... 89-map1, 91-map2, 93-map3/tweak. Always log a run to double check you're good with local gas and drop down a PSI or map# if your gas formulation changes for winter.

I thought burger recommends 91/93 for map 1? I’m finally out of gas so I will fill up with 93 and see what the stock data looks like. Then jump to map 1

Gas varies by area and why to log whatever you do.

I recently installed the APR closed intake. I've been running map 1 with no issues for 2-ish years. Do I need to do any additional logs, or should map 1 be sufficient? I don't have access to 93 gas in my area so map 2 isn't really an option.

You're probably fine, but it doesn't hurt to log the car every once in a while to make sure it's healthy.

 

[goodvibes]

If you do log, you could always try a map 2 log on 91 and even tweak map 6 if you find that successful. If it works out, check again with winter gas which usually behaves like 1 octane less or so.

I have a question for the smarty ones that know this better than me.

I sent a message to George, no reply, but I can only get 92 consistently, is there a better map than 1?

I got a euro mk7 GTI (2014) now with a JB4 and I'm looking into swapping it for a euro Alltrack 2018. From what I understand I should be able to change to firmware to match and use my Jb4 on the Alltrack?

It's the same firmware. But update to the latest for best results.

Hey. May I have my datalog reviewed, please?

https://datazap.me/u/customb7/jb4-m...rst-cat-converter?log=0&data=1-4-5-6-11-18-25

2017 Passat 93 octane pre-cat converter removed aluminum S3 intercooler. The turbo can't seem to keep up with the target boost for most of the rpm range. Could that be a limitation of the stock turbo?

Thanks.
