jb4 upgrade has turned up

Had mine fitted for about 2 weeks now.
Delighted with it,great difference can feel the good bit more torque and a bit more power in the top end.
Running map 2 on momentum 99 no other mods

im enjoying the jb4 but i am thinking about an mrc map tbh....would just like a bit more tourque....still got over a year left on the audi warranty tho :(
 
I've always been tempted by a remap but i'm sure i'll be happy with the JB4
 
Has anyone got any advice on feeding the OBD cable through? The guide makes it sound easy but looking in the car it exits right by the turbo

Mine just turned up yesterday... Can anyone tell me if the wire you have to tap in to with the positap can be removed and then refitted several times? For trips to the dealers etc.. as if not this no longer becomes a plug & play unit :(

Quick question regarding the afr wire .. which plug am I tapping in to? As on the instructions it says the grey wire but my plugs seem to be opposite colours to the picture in the install guide

Red wire on the grey plug

This is the guide I followed "To connect the wire you’ll be using the included POSI-TAP to attach to the red wire on the gray lambda sensor plug on the firewall"

I did double check but it seems to be working fine and hasn't defaulted to map 4 so all looks good. The jb4 app works over otg as well so that's saved me £130 on the Bluetooth kit

I've watched 2 videos now and all are tapping in to the bottom of the two plugs .. weird

Unless it's as we're right hand drive?

Other option is email George, he's always helpful and quick to reply. Let me know if you do

Ok sounds good.

I'm using map 2 but there is too much power in first gear so I'm dropping 1st gear boost to 4psi extra and trying that and working down from there until I find the sweet spot

I'm being really thick here...I've followed a few links from this thread and I'm being mega, mega thick but I don't understand this. Does anyone have a link that will enlighten me to what the jb4 is, how much is it and how do you map it.

I've got the idea it plugs in but how does it differ from a jb2, how does it get mapped or is it a case of selecting from a set parameter map and how much is it?

Many thanks...

No worries, I'll set up a thread for it soon I think, lots of settings and questions so it makes sense

Got an email back... and he says it is the top one on the no1 red wire ... but did agree that it's unclear and on some cars it's the bottom one so he will be re writing his installation manual

I'm on the fence with which tune or piggybox I should go with. Originally, I wanted to go with Eurodyne since I like the fact that I can flush it at home, but now that JB4 has came out and looks like it does everything Eurodyne could plus some, I'm having 2nd thoughts.

The only concern that I have is with JB4 is it requires wire passing throught the firewall and taken up the OBD port with wire hanging out... I know it's not a big deal but to be honest, I doubt I would adjust the map much and would just stick with map 1 mostly, am I better off with JB1 on fully stock car or is JB4 safer with more monitoring?
