I'm very pleased with this piggy back. I know it will not match an ecu tune but it has other big advantages.

I'm not looking to start a tuning war!

Nice result - i know that some guys with the Mk7 Golf GTI/R are having good results with the Berger Tuning box too.

Thanks mate. It's capable of a much better time. I've upped the boost level gradually to now +4.6 with each .2 increase making a noticeable difference. Respecting the DSG 7 speed poor reputation I will however not be doing any more WOTs with it set at this level. It's blowing my mind now how hard it pulls above 3000rpm and I'm staying light on the throttle at lower revs to preserve the DSG clutches.
I'm pulling the plug at 4.6 though, it's starting to feel like a hand-grenade.

Must be the best bang for bucks mod. for the 888 series motors.

Heaps of info. on the US Golf forum

Would love to compare notes with any other Polo GTI owners who have fitted or intend to fit the JB1?

How have you been going with the JB1 in your 6C? I have been reading up on them and it seems like a pretty sweet bit of kit.

Very happy, can't understand why more aren't being fitted, guess it's got a lot to do with doubts cast by those who are trying to flog their much more expensive tunes. Sure it's not quite what say APR may give, I would say 90% of an APR stage 1. However with a downpipe etc as I have fitted now the car is insanely fast. It would leave my previous 2013 Polo GTI with ABT etc fitted for dead.

George the Burger tuning rep in South Africa sent me a dyno result of a UK Polo with downpipe and JB1 - 191 kW flywheel.

Cheers

Yeah that's awesome performance for the price and with the added benefit of being removable/untraceable. BMS have some dyno graphs on their website for the 6C running on the included Map.

Think I might have to order one in the near future.

Thanks for the reply.

Good observation. Removed by order of the wife when she discovered my youtube channel. Maybe she is correct, videos on a public forum etc. of 'car testing' on public roads is not a smart thing to do.

That makes sense, now make it unlisted and send me the link. lol

Hiya. Sorry to hijack this thread. Just a quick feedback on JB1 on my 2015 polo GTI. It's been almost a month since I installed it.

The first week or so I ran Map 1, safety boost set to 4.0 and fuel loop set to 25. The difference between stock and this setting was amazing, especially above 3000rpm.

Spoke to George from Burger tuning and asked his recommendations. As I always run 98ron fuel, George mention that I could safely set boost safety to 4.4. Not wanting to put too much stress on the car especially it's a dsg and it's my daily, I decided to change the boost safety to 4.1. Well, the difference was like nite and day, notice lot more pull from lower RPMs, the car drives different again, and I am still learning not to break the speed limit without realising it.

Might need a dsg tune me thinks... next financial year [emoji16].

So highly recommend jb1/jb4 [emoji16]

Yeah its awesome hey. I found the difference between 4.8 and 5 was massive on my Skoda 2.0T. In summer though i did dial it back to 4.8.

Yeap, it has been one of the best mods I have ever done. I am leaving it on a conservative settings, rather be safe then sorry as I have a friend with a tuned Focus ST with a broken piston at the moment [emoji17]

Yes amazing what difference that setting makes. I went up in small increments to 4.6 at which point the car felt insane.

In the interests of longevity I have been running a 'safe' 4.0 for some time now, still plenty of power with my hardware mods.

These were the recommended settings George gave me for increasing power at the top of the rev. range while still protecting the clutches at the lower rev./higher torque range. I have changed things back to more conservative now.

NOTE: These settings are for a Polo GTI
George:"On the 4.6 setting you can keep the 25% fuel open loop.

If you happy with the 4.6 at the top you may want to consider using map 6 and lowering the bottom a bit. This is a good baseline to start with:

1500 0
2000 2
2500 3
3000 3.5
3500 4
4000 4.6
4500 4.6
5000 4.6
5500 4.6
6000 4.6
6500 4.4
7000 4.2"

The above settings are for when Sam Shehin finishes his drag strip etc. and Adelaide car enthusiasts here can take their cars to street drags like all the other States currently can

Agreed, hence why 4.1 is plenty for now... [emoji16]. Just love the low end power, My fuel consumption has improved. I do regular trips to Noosa, and usually I get about 600ks per tank, that’s with giving the car a good workout, this time, same style driving, perhaps even more aggressive, I got close to 670ks per tank. (Using trip computer that is, I am too lazy to do manual calculations [emoji12])
