Burger Motorsports JB1 Tuning Module + Cable

[LibraR]

Nice detailed description Ringo. I wondered how the over boost function might work with the JB1.

Was the Golf R stock or did it have a JB1 fitted too? The extra weight of the R would hold it back compared with the trim 40th, especially if it was stock.

R had just a resonator delete but otherwise stock. With my foot far away from the overboost switch and custom lower boost @4k rpm on map 6 (was actually out for testing, the run was completely unplanned) I reckon I must have hardly had 320ps at the time. The extra weight is negated imo from the fact that starting from as low as 20km/h and especially 1st gear, I had to battle wheel-spin (during the 1st run) while the R driver just floored it and launched forward and I wasn't going faster than him before 100km/h. On the 2nd attempt that I went easy on the throttle I managed to launch quicker, stay ahead and have an ever-growing gap to my favor.

If it was attempted from say 50-60km/h and 2nd gear I agree that I would have had a huge advantage as the car just instantly goes at anything at and above those speeds (which are of bigger real-life importance).

Launches and drag-races don't really concern me and I never do traffic light racing etc. the fact that run took place was merely down to the curiosity of the R driver (which was very impressed in the end). But it just shows that over-boost complicates things and needs to go.
