Best source of info are the threads in this forum:
GTI Engine / Drivetrain / Exhaust / Tunes - GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum
The JB4 for VW cars (as opposed to the BMWs it's been on for years) was released the day before yesterday in upgrade form. Standalone JB4 is due next month. Pay attention to the posts by 'George Smooth' who is the developer.

Has anybody also got any experience with this and a down pipe / stage 2 style tune?
Aware the JB4 is due for release soon and will hopefully support this mod and allow for cat cel's to be adjusted

JB1 plugs into 3 or 4 places on the engine, and the original plugs are then plugged into matching sockets on the harness. If it wasn't for the fact one plugs in at the bottom of the engine requiring the belly shield be temporarily removed for access it looks like to could be installed and removed in 5 minutes, rather than 30 minutes ( not that I've done it myself but I've watched enough videos).

Well that's fine then
I remember when I had a Gen 1 Mazda 3MPS, the Chiptorque units had to be spliced into the ecu wiring loom. Hence my caution

Iv looked at all the piggy back units and they all plug in to the bottom unfortunately. The racechip ultimate has a planking plug and quick disconnect plug for the unit. You can take the unit out and place the plug in the loom. Looks less obvious and the car will crunch like factory. Unless there looking hard they won't spot it.
You need to be careful as a lot of the unit are tuned for Europe and not design for our crap fuel.
Race chip has both but the 169 is not listed on the AUS site, only in the U.K site.
