Sweet as, are you fitting it yourself? Will be interested in seeing the quality and power figures.

If I had a hoist I would have, not too keen working on my back with the car jacked up.

While you guys are messing with air boxes, cut the blanking panel out. Link below

Also, JB4 is best bang for buck you can get if you want to keep your warranty, Any Tune will give you a TD1 flag.
Ive seen over 200kw at the wheels on GTIs with some basic mods.

Ive done the CTS TMD, Inlet pipe, IC pipes and Down pipe, it all helps.
Just remember you will get the Check engine light with most Downpipes, this can be removed with a tune (but TD1) so beware if you do get a Down pipe, you'll get that every so often, so have a OBD tool to clear it, and youll be fine.

JB4 vs tune on same car, was 20 odd kw, and that extra 20kw was at the top end, where the tune added fuel and timing (JB4 cant do that as its a piggy back). JB4 is not like piggy back systems of old, it has some real smarts and are now in the Kia and Honda market. They started with BMW back in the day, then moved to VW models in 2016.

Fitted 2 Downpipes in driveway with stands, its not to bad once you find a good "how to"

Have seen cars with JB4's dyno graphs very wavey at the top end, as you said it cannot control everything like a custom tune can.

I had surging, smokey exhaust and other strange things on my R with GIAC generic tune, no such issues with current custom tune on the tig.

Oh yea, Pros and cons to all tuning options, need to understand what you want as an end result.

I've found the JB4 is a great starting point while you learn and add mods, once your at your end game, go get a full custom and you'll gain a bit more, ie 208 to over 220kw on a gti.

A full custom tune is the way to go

Wavey? in what power? yea it cant control fuel and timming, so a poorly "tuned" JB4 will prob show that. need to "tune" it to the cars OEM limits to a point. tuning a JB4 is easy as making a boost curve and then data logging the AFR and fuel / timming (built in logging).

Just looking at my Dyno graphs now, Its wavey in the power in the preset maps, which is adding boost to stock boost levels, in the custom maps Ive made, smooth as.

You FWD or AWD Inasnt?
If FWD, I got 170kw at the wheels with 4.5psi added to stock boost, and 176kw with 5psi added.

More graph and info in my timeline below mate, some interesting reading if you have some time.

Power curve wavey.

I got Gen2 Tig so AWD.

Had a track Skyline in the early 2000's with was tuned via an old school Apexi Power FC, worked on lots of custom tuning on that car..

Yea I know what you mean, looking over them now. I wont lose sleep over it lol.
Its a good start if people are worried about warranty...
