JB4 install help

The website has nothing for C43 install. The best video I found is this one https://youtu.be/JEWpMZVTgwk
however he only explained where 3 of the 6 clips go.
Anyone here have some more insight?

also is it one of these two holes where the obd2 reader goes through the firewall? If so, I've tried to feed it through but it doesn't come out anywhere.

Okay ignore all that. It's installed. Now how do I link it to my Bluetooth? Will it just be on map one until I figure out Bluetooth? Is there an App or something?

Just got back from test drive. Car feels super slow and is not boosting at all.

Sounds like you did something wrong then. If you need technical support email in installation photos and a JB4 log to support@burgertuning.com.

A couple of questions, do you have everything connected properly?

Did you successfully connect the wireless Bluetooth piece to the main box?

Have you successfully downloaded and paid for the JB4 app?

Has it done the proper handshake between the app and the bluetooth devide at the JB4 box?

Fill us in.

Yes wiring harness install is extremely easy and Is impossible to mess up. They're all connected for sure because they're always a bugger to get back off. Bluetooth attachment is connected properly, obd2 plug connected. downloaded and paid for JB4 app. I've shared pictures of the install with them Along with a close up of both sides of the circuit board. They sent me a new circuit board that arrived today. I replaced it and I'm still having the same issue throwing the same two codes.
They now think it has to be a faulty wiring harness. So I shipped back the whole unit already. Once they receive it they'll send me a new kit and we'll see how it goes I'll keep you updated.

Here's a 1/8th mile pass I did today.
was hoping to show some stock vs JB4 map 1&2 to show some real numbers. Hopefully soon enough.

I recently installed mine and did a firmware update, had no gauge read out on the app, so BMS support is suggesting to also send it in the for same reason (I haven't yet but need to.)

Just curious - Did you notice any butt dyno gains after you installed it at all? The only gauge that worked for me was the Map setting and I later learned through support I was apparently getting some gains, similar to their stage1 tune, but the maps weren't being set. I felt like I had a small change after installing it, at least on lower end acceleration but could've just been me.

All gauges worked fine. But I literally had zero boost. Car felt like it had 120hp

Grab some logs. That will let BMS see whats up. I developed a boost leak after the first run of map 1 after install. Upper hose on the intercooler started coming off. Had to upgrade to t-bar clamps.

What engine code are you throwing with the CEL you have? I ask only because the video notes you are driving a stock car.

I don't recall what they were. I sent back the unit and I should be getting a new one any day now.

Sounds good, keep us posted. To be clear, was the video you took in stock form (or with the JB4 in map 0) or with the JB4 installed (and not on map 0)?

video was stock. If jb4 was installed With the issues it was having it probably would ran around 16seconds. Literally had zero boost haha

I'm excited to geek out on the difference on map 1 and 2 with the dragy. Also buying some 22lb wheels and interested in seeing the difference.

yes I literally just got the unit back yesterday. It hasn't rained here in Utah for 42 days. And now we have 3 days of rain lol. I can't get any good runs in. But car feels a bit quicker on map 1. And a LOT quicker on map 2. I shared my map 2 log with them to make sure it looked safe since Utah only has 91 octane available. And they said it looked great. I'll share some dragy 1/4 miles when it dries up.
