Cheers saxo, found the link and have a set on order. Been looking at the jb1 and jb4, price point is great. Torn between the 2 mind as the DSG box may struggle with the jb4 power output increase, most tuners offer a tcu/dsg tune to cope with the power increase. Might stick with the jb1 until the warranty runs out
When I get my next EA888 + DSG based car I'll refit the the JB4. I think the problem with mines was either: 1. DSG oil too low (known to happen from factory). 2. DSG adaptations needed reset. The second one is a half decent possibility. I only did 800 miles before I fitted the JB1 and I ran that for about 8,000 miles before upgrading to JB4. The JB4 spools soooo much quicker than the JB1 that I think it was perhaps catching the DSG napping (i.e. while peak clamping pressure was sufficient, it was too slow to clamp down). George felt that a VCDS reset of the DSG adaptations and then running with the JB4 would have allowed the car to adapt and solve the problem. I had to remove the JB4 for a service and then I'd have to find someone with VCDS and refit the damn thing. All in all, it seemed easier to wait for the next car but I'll defo refit the JB4 as it has some real fireworks at the top end. |
Thanks mate, did you order it direct with them if so do you remember what import tax and duty you paid? Or did you order from a UK dealer. Seen one dealer and the mark up from ordering direct is a little steep yet hard to base it without knowing the import costs

I ordered from JB4shop.co.uk. At the time I wasn't going to save a great deal bringing it in from America. It's worth keeping an eye on VWROC classified as they quite often come up when people sell up or move onto a full remap.

Defo get cable. You'll want to change from the base map to a custom one. I run + 5.2psi over stock and the car has been happy in all conditions. I suppose I'd be a little more considerate in really high temps (i.e. 25°C+) but, frankly, if it's that hot I'd be taking advantage and lying in the garden, not ragging the car.
