Whats the difference between a Jabba OBD and Jabba custom remap then? Both in terms of price and power gains.

My car is a stadard 1.8T AUM

Jabba can program custom remaps via obd or a chip change, boh are the same I believe.

No significant difference from the customer's point of view and the OBD version doesn't involve opening the ECU. The price for both should be the same via a Briskoda group buy, ie

so if both types of remap are the same, why offer them both?

One's is an off-the-shelf remap, which has generic settings. The other is mapped to your preference & the price includes before & after rolling road time.

Anyone got some power curves from a jaba remap?

I have just spoken to Jabba to clarify matters. Your engine would be custom-remapped via the OBD port. When mine was done the ECU was removed so that the chip could be removed and replaced by a reprogrammable chip on an emulator board. The procedure is much more straightforward now. If you try using search you will find a selection of RR graphs; Jabba's site also has a typical graph. The whole point of the custom remap is that YOU can specify what sort of performance and driveability you want.

Sorry for all the hassle/questions with this but I want to be certain what I'm getting when spendign the not insignificant ammount of money on a remap.

No problem. I needed pushing over the edge to get my car done - and worried about the warranty implications - but would do the same again without a second thought now.

is it just me that reads it as ODB every time and thinks of the rapper?

sorry, random thought there, i'll go now

No....both are custom are far are the parameters involved...it's the method involved in remapping that's different and as Denis said no different to the owner.

Full custom requires the EEPROM to be swapped out. This is firstly replaced with an emulator which is then used set up the parameters on the rollers. Code is then programmed onto an EEPROM. Apparently it is easier to do this way but time consuming.

Programming via the OBD port requires no EPPROM change and uses a software tool to allow the parameters to be set on whilst on the rollers. The advantage of OBD programming is it's easier to make changes on subsequent visits i.e. re-remaps.

Also there is also no physical evidense of the ECU being touched as it hasn't.

Also, there are still some ECUs which require a chip change - not all can be done via the OBD port.

However, even if a chip-change is required, there's no physical evidence of tampering with the ECU from just looking at it from the outside. Jabba can apparently do this very neatly so it looks like a virgin ECU. Of course, as with OBD, any in-depth software checking which is available to Insurance Cos and Skoda UK will reveal tampering, whether physical with chip-change or not.

HTH

No.....I was talking about OBD remapping. They offer a generic & custom remap thro' the OBD port.

A quote from their site in the TDI Serial Port Programming section:-

"As each map is referenced from at least 10 vehicles of the same type, we guarantee the best power possible with minimal smoke."

As Goochie's car is a 1.8T (ie Petrol), i don't see the relevance of a quote from the TDi section ?

Well, his initial question was " what's the difference between a Jabba OBD & custom remap?"

On the 1.8T...no difference apart from a chip change on the non OBD version.

AFAIK they don't do the generic maps on the petrol turbos.

It's still not a TDi, whichever way you look at it

Yeah, it'll never smoke like a chimney!!

Thank god for that

OBD it is for me then!

Mine was converted to OBD programming when i went back to have the boost controller fitted.

Makes it easier for Jabba to "tweak" the map if you do additional mods later
