Hi mates,

 

Looking to install a JB4 piggy for my FL Superb (2.0 TSI 190PS) but a local distro told me the current JB4 for the Gen 3 EA888 isn't compatible with the MG1 type ECU used in the MK3.5 Superb. However the same unit is compatible with many VAG cars running on the same engine and I find it quite implausible that the Superb is using a special ECU different from all of the models listed below.

 

Anybody had experience or knowledge with this to share?

I also suggest buying from BMS directly as you'll have lifetime support from their part.

would'nt surprise me, the mk3.5 superb is the newest out of the vag cars you've listed.

vag/skoda will call it continuous improvement, all it does is delay things for the tuners though, they eventually find a work around.

Your engine is the gen3B unit with Budack cycle right? It seems there is a product available for those, but I don't know what "Beta" does exactly mean since they sell it along their normal product line:

As I said, it's best to double-check with George.

just wondering if anybody has tried the JB4 for their Superb yet and what were the experiences?
