That is true, and thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't even thought about where OP was located

However, I wasn't thinking like that when I posted. I was mostly thinking that the autotune map would be the best at "correcting" itself for his particular mods, versus map 2 which was pretty much built for at least DPs, if not FBO without meth. Map 2 is assuming that the turbos have more room to breathe than they actually do in a car without downpipes, which I feel like would have detrimental effects to the output. I could be wrong, though
