    Interesting in a GIAC stage 1 and was wondering if anyone has one in their R?

    JB1 is probably the way to go knowing how "great" VW warranty is
    "Forced induction" sounds like some sort of sexual assault.
    i drive a Golf 7R tuned by APR + exoticars

    I'm getting the JB1 as well but wondered what Exoticars did for you?

    Hills Eurohaus is about to get a shipment of JB1's. They are great guys too. They did the Stage 2+ work on my car, and I can definitely say it was an excellent experience.

    Do you know how much they are selling them for? Other than installing the JB1, what else can they do? The installation for the 4 plugs seem simple enough, and tweaking the boost on map 1 with a laptop doesn't sound like it's hard either. Unless they're doing dyno for differenet boost settings then I'd understand what value they can add.

    I fitted the JB1 myself, but got them to do the more involved stuff (Downpipe/Intercooler). You can tune JB1 Map 6 very well yourself if you have VCDS and can do some logging.

    Hills do all sorts of work though. They're installing a new dyno I think in Feb, so they'll be able to assist with Map 6 tuning once that's in. I was just suggesting them to you as a local supplier (cheaper shipping), plus if you had any other work you needed done - I couldn't fault their service.

    Thanks. I think I'll install the JB1 myself and play with it. Will need to find someone who produces a downpipe for the wagon to get some performance and get rid of the ringing sound.
