Keeping the Racechip over the JB1 (JB1 up for sale).
So this is nothing ground breaking but just my take on the Racechip GTS Black vs. JB1 w/Bluetooth. Without dyno tuning, both tunes feel exactly the same Map1 (JB1) and Race (GTS Black). With a few sloppy 0-60 runs (without torque braking) i managed similar runs of 4.2-4.5s on the JB1 and 4.2-4.6s on the GTS Black on the Dragy (im very bad at 0-60 runs).
You really can't go wrong with either: JB1 w/bluetooth (~$620) Pros -Remote app control -best bang for the buck -data logging capability -real time gauge readings -change maps on the fly -custom maps (map 6) Cons -Unfinished look -poor case quality -not water resistant Racechip GTS Black (~$850): Pros -Remote app control -Great looking and superb quality -digital display on the main unit to verify status -great performance for the money -better harness -weather resistant case -change maps on the fly -warm up timer (adjustable) Cons - no data logging - no custom maps - no real time gauges readings I decided to keep the GTS black in the car just because its i prefer the better quality build/finish. My JB1 w/bluetooth is up for sale. PM me if your interested. |
Good précis, thanks. The JB isnt waterproof? That’s nuts. |

BTW, if you locate the control unit in the battery compartment, there's little chance that it'll ever get wet. But I do agree that it's hard to beat the high-quality construction of the RaceChip products. |
The Racechip manual doesn’t mention water, just heat. Should i be concerned? |
First Come First Serve
My offer JB1 (retail $479) + JB4 bluetooth module ($140).
$385.00 shipped! (sale pending) |
I’d swear my Racechip is getting better. I’ve got a couple hundred miles now, and the sucker really pulls. The engine seems effortless, now. |
JB1 Sold thanks for all the PMs.
Racechip will be up for sale soon also. |
Why? |

Google blown engine. Some guy in Texas. Had nothing to do with the tune. |

I wonder if you have an older model? The latest model has a nice water proof enclosure. http://www.burgertuning.com/images/W...50_Stage_1.jpg |
Racechip claims custom tuning. |
