Well... Tuning the DME has been the same since 03/2019, no OBD. Bench is required until 06/2020.
06/2020+ is still unknown.
It's difficult to speculate when and who.

Incorrect JB4 works for 2021

JB4 is the best tune for the money right now, Every other tune is a waste of money. Go JB4 and don't look back. Enjoy 530whp on map 7(:. Drives exactly like stock and have 7 different maps to play with. And you'll smack any OTS flash tune S55 running map 7. Map 2 is a great daily map tho.

I'd pick the JB4 over having to bench unlock the ECU. As long as the DME is locked, the JB4 is a no brainer for me as its by far the best piggyback

A made up 530whp, especially on M2C?

Without a doubt JB4 is a great device, but why the exaggeration?

Yes JB4 will work on a 2021 M2C. However, my statement was that they are still not able to flash tune the ECU, so my statement is correct.

No exaggeration, it's well documented on map 7. Or do I need to dyno for you. My money is it makes closer to 540. Let's not forget JB4 targets much higher boost than any flash tune ots on the market


Probably why I'm killing fbo e85 GTR's vargus GC turbo'd B58's, e tuned ZL1's. But hey in your world I only make 500 right. (:

You aren't listening,

You have a 2021 so you can't run bootmod3 or any other flash tune.

Get JB4 and be done with it that's your only real option to be honest unless you wanna go with another brand which is fine also but anything with a flash cannot be done unless you wanna replace your DME

I asked few local tuners and they said that European car can be flashed without DME replacement.

Not true, I have a Euro M2C 2021 and did a DME replacement as it was the only way to tune. No other way currently other than a piggy back

Their own website (Burger Tuning) quotes 505 on the m3/m4 tune on map 7, so the M2C will be less due to the baseline tune. I’ve found no such example of 530 wheel on a search of the forum, just based on the tune alone.

Also, I’ve had the JB4 on the car before I changed to a flash tune. JB4 is a great box, but higher boost doesn’t always mean better.
