OK. So if Customer A runs Map 5 (autotuning) and the JB autotunes him/her down to 11psi, that means that at 13.5psi for Customer A's unique conditions is too aggressive. It can easily be the other way around. Conditions can near perfect, and autotuning will raise boost to 15.5psi...1psi higher than map2 or whatever; making map 2 too conservative for Customer A's unique conditions at that time. It is EASILY understandable that a JB car in uniquely poor conditions will autotune to 11psi...meaning that 13.5psi (map 1)is too aggressive. It's autotuning that would declare it too aggressive; not me.
So, what I've been saying has nothing to do with generalized aggressiveness of the maps. Nothing to do with Map 1 being too aggressive. Nothing to do with a non-autotuning map being unhealthy. Re-read my posts and show me where I said that, hahaha.

Good luck.
LOL..

No one is arguing how autotuning works and what it is meant to do.
You argue that map 1 is too agressive compared to an autotuning map that can possibly be way too conservative in its alpha form. Maybe your choice of words were a bit off. The only thing you have done is sound like a broken record and repeat over and over how autotuning works. You have not presented any factual data showing map1 to be too agressive in certain conditions.

Map1 is a pretty solid map at a wide range of conditions!

Wow...look at the post you are replying to. LOOK AT THE BOLDED WORDS. I clearly state at the end that I am NOT blatantly claiming Map 1 is too aggressive. It's hypothetically describing what would happen in a wide variety of conditions.

And how I described the reactions of Autotuning were bottom-line facts...please tell me what is not.

Are you sure your name isn't Sticky?

Sorry for the derail of this thread; it shouldn't have taken 5 posts for this guy to figure this out.

really? I read just the last 3 comments and I can see what BrianMN is saying.

Autotuning changes boost to the maximal setting the car will handle.

If autotuning determines that 11psi is the highest a given car with given conditions can handle, then Map 1 at 13.5psi is too aggressive for this car in these conditions.

How is that hard to understand? I don't even know why this argument started, but I'm probably just repeating what BrianMN said.

You guys should catch up before you post. The argument is not about how autotuning works! Which I have made very clear several times.

The issue that autotuning right now is in its infancy and overly conservative. So the statement about map aggression is ONLY true if this was the final autotuning logic.

No map switching is done via the steering wheel controls now.

All you had to do is look at the first post

Lol I'm sorry but after reading your bickering in this thread and your last comment, you really need to go back to school...maybe practice for the SAT. Perhaps a specific section called Reading Comprehension.

That is all, end rant.

To bring this thread back around, are/will all the updates be posted on the first post of this thread?

How often is (historically) the JB4 software updated?

Autotune map was mentioned about it being in its infancy (beta) a number of months ago; is it now gtg? Thnx!

Just changed to auto tune for the first time since I updated to 9/16, and my car seems to pull harder. And according to the oil/boost gauge I'm hitting higher boost feels much stronger
