George, I am very interested to see how the Beta Testing goes, particularly with the SQ5 model. I am the one who started this post/thread actually. A few key features from the DTUK model that it would be nice to see something similar on your unit is the ease at which to disconnect or "turn off" the unit. BT connectivity would be fantastic but would require the integration of an app. The ability to have different maps on the tuner versus just full power Thewould be excellent as well. The big issue I hope that will be addressed is drivability and performance loss due to stumbling or cutoffs at WOT transmission shifting. Please let me know if I can do anything to assist you. Thanks.
The unit has multiple maps on it as well as a user adjustable map so you can dial in the type of power delivery you want (some users prefer linear vs a hard torque hit).
Here is some logs we did over the weekend at a private track heading past 140mph. You can see from the rpm that the gearchanges are crisp.
The JB4 units have a Bluetooth connect kit as a option and a app called JB4 Mobile that allows you to have 6 live gauges of engine parameters of your choice. You can also do logging with it as well as any map changes and setting changes so its easy to select a stock map from that.

Well, I finally got to the track this past Saturday and was able to run my 2018 SQ5 with the DTUK Tuner on it. I did some baseline runs and averaged 13.6 at just over a 100mph. That was on a 50 degree windy day, with my Pirelli Scorpion Snow tires on 19" OZ wheels, and my 280lbs as the driver. I then turned on the unit and ran with Map 3-0 which is the Efficiency map on the DTE unit actually. I got a 13.1@102.90 and a 13.2@102.45. So, the unit definitely helped. I plan to go again in a few weeks with my summer tires and the stock 21" wheels back on. Then I plan to try map 3-0, +1, and +2. We will see how it goes from there. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

I would have expected more improvement. 1/2 second is about 5 car lengths. Are you using the PedalBox and holding the brake to build boost at launch?

He was running the eco map though...

DT-power overwrites map 3 for their tune, it's not the standard map 3 tune.

I’m not sure which map 3 he was running but it’s probably the DT-Power map. If so then 3-0 isn’t eco mode. But did he run Dynamic?...assume so.

Interesting... just bought mine a couple months ago from DTUK, and it comes with their 3 maps. If they are shipped with the magical DT-Power tune, then why would anyone send their unit to him (and pay extra) to get re-flashed? Something sounds a little fishy here....

Edit: One thing he said he did with his tune is increase Boost earlier to smooth out the power band. The +&- are also 1/2 the incremental change vs the Map 1 & 2. Maybe Aaron will chime in here and correct me or add to this. I broke some ribs so haven’t felt like crawling under the dash to try the PedalBox.
