Item relisted, i have very kindly been informed by another forum member that this jb4 is only for a pwg car. Will not work on ewg cars.

Here I have a jb4 which I purchased from user on here Esiii.
This is a new unit, unused, purchased in a group buy but was never used. I may possibly be changing cars so its for grabs.

This is a unit for PWG cars with a N55 stage2 board. For early F series m135i and m235i with a Pneumatic wastegate.

I paid £225 for this, i am after only what I paid for it,

£225 collected
£250 packaged, posted next day delivery via courier and it includes paypal fees.

Please PM me if interested
Regards

This can work either PWG stage 2 or EWG but stage 1 as-is for the latter, as it doesn't have the extra looms for direct control of fuel rail and EWG.

Both harnesses can be retrofitted as can an EWG board to bring this up to full blown stage 2 for EWG.

IN ENGLISH PLEASE - :D

so this will work with EWG but are there downsides in not getting a specific EWG one

sorry for my ignorance.

No need to apologise to me as this is not my sale !!

In plain speak - this will work fine as-is on a stock ewg car using maps 1 or 5 - "stage 1"- you may see extra 4-5psi.

If you want to go for higher boost/power then you can upgrade it as follows:-

1. swap the existing JB4 board to specific ewg board
2. buy extra looms for FF and EWG harnesses and add them to the current loom to give JB4 direct control over fuel rail and WG controller - you may see 5-6psi on a stock car.

I suggest you read up on JB4 on " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; forum so as you are comfortable with what this kit is and whether or not its for you.

Have a read at this thread, helps to identify if you have a pwg or a ewg:-

This should help you to identify which wastegate you have, pneumatic or electronic.

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If yours is a Pneumatic Wastegate (PWG) m135i or m235i car then this should work.

To be honest I think it's pwg but I will have a read of that later. I did try the other day on my phone but it wouldn't open the page
