I have a JB1 for sale if anyone is interested. Its only a few months old.

EDIT: Sold!

Cor! That was quick. I'm up for buying one and would have been interested.

Interestingly, why the sale so soon after you got it? Were you not happy with what it did?

Yeah it was snapped up pretty much immediately.

It wasn't my JB1 that I was selling actually. A friend of mine sold his S3, and the new buyer was an older gent who didn't want the JB1, so I sold it for him. I still have mine, and still love it!

My mate upgraded to a 2016 AMG C63 S Shooting Brake. Those things sound incredible.The downshift crackles and pops are so addictive. Getting back into my car, it sounds like a whipper snipper by comparison

Yeah, a C63 is on my wish list because of that noise. My office used to be next to the Brisbane AMG dealer so I would hear them being moved around all the time!

Check video above personally had the JB1 for six months and 6000Km can't fault it fantastic drive average economy 7.9 L/100Km in default map1 only adds boost above 2500 so you can drive like stock if you wish and can be removed for service unlike flash tunes which can be traced

Thanks rossim, I just hear that the APR Stage 1 flash has a good track record and has been around for sometime! G.T.

yes, I hear the APR is a little better too, but I wont be put off a JB1 - I had a JB4 on my bmw 335i years ago & it was awesome.

There are literally dozens of threads on the subject of tunes and tuning boxes in the Tuning and Performance (inc ECU upgrades) section.
