maps on n55 jb3

I know i can ask terry and whatnot, but I'd hate to bother the man with such a newb question. How do i change the maps on the n55 jb3? Can i do it with the pedal or do i need to use the firmware. Firmware is kind of a no go for me since i have a mac.

run your mac with windows via bootcamp, thats what I do. there is only 1 map so no real point in switching.

The N55 is a single map. The only option is to switch to map 0 with a windows laptop if you want to disable.

this is about as funny as it gets. This whole time, I have been pissed with the performance with the jb3. Track times were terrrible, and I didnt even notice a difference over stock. Today I found out my car has been on the stock map the whole time. The car pulls like a freight train now. Awesome.

Guys, I've just got my jb3 n55 installed..... But, can't really figure out if it works like it should....
Whenever I go wot it does not really boosts to more than about 7-8 psi ( monitored by can tool) is it possible that it came preloaded with map 0?

What kind of boost do you read with yours???

The CAN Tool will always show the stock boost with a piggyback regardless of what your actual boost is.

Ok, will have to hook up an external boost gauge and test it out. Because I definitely hear a dv much louder and more power, just CT was getting me confused
Any word on stage 2 yet?

Wait a sec....., if can tool is always showing stock boost, even if you run it with jb3, than I really see no point in gauge hijacking, especially boost on fuel gauge, kinda useless , No?
