I told you it will cost you $250 but I've decided that comment was a $400 hit. |

Hmmm funny that I should make this thread and almost immediately something goes wrong haha.
I installed the 'new' maps 7-29 yesterday and today it's been driving really well until tonight on the way back from the city. I tried to accelerate to overtake and I noticed a huge delay in acceleration if I went from no throttle to full throttle (without kick down). It seemed as if it would try to accelerate for a millisecond and then there would be about a half second delay of nothing before it kicked in normally as it should. I put it on the stock map 0 and it was fine. Anyone have any clues as to why? Either way, I'm installing the 9-10 aggressive maps now as I type.

I installed the 9-10 maps and the car's been running perfectly. If anything it seems much smoother which is really nice.
The only thing is that I've noticed that the exhaust is much deeper and louder with more drone. I'm also noticing a lot more heat emanating from underneath the car whenever I get out on the driver's side. I'm assuming that at least the exhaust note change is due to the wastegate position being set to 50% in the new maps rather than 90%. The heat issue too? Does anyone knowledgeable know the reasoning behind setting the wastegate position to 50% instead of 90% and is there any effect on the performance of the car other than the sound and reduction in wastegate rattle? (I don't have any rattling yet) Thanks!

Great to hear its running better with the new maps dude.
Can anyone chime in on my issue (I'm not entirely sure it is an issue though!) I had a procede with the latest maps installed by adrian in oct 2012, then a few months later i had a ams fmic (with custom advan 3" piping up to the active autowerke cp) and ar dp's installed. The car really hauled a lot harder from any revs after this, but lately I don't feel as though it has as much oomph in 2nd gear 3krpm +. The car is running fine, with no codes etc could this just be a placebo effect that I'm used to the extra power and its no longer quite as pronounced, or could it be that the ecu has had more time to adjust and learn with detrimental affects on power? I'm a total noob with the procede so i haven't done any logs whatsoever... Hopefully Pete gets that advan dyno day happening shortly so i can chuck it up and see what gains the fmic & DP's have had (it ran about 224kw with the procede only) |

That said, I encourage you to go out to WSID on a Wednesday (or Sunday) and do some 3rd/4th gear logs. It will be of of at least equal use to you as a dyno plot, but is way more fun. |

Sounds like the usual experience where you just get used to the performance level. It no longer gives you a kick. Solution: need more power!
Traps will nose over at this time of year simply because it's hot and humid. Car makes less power. Doesn't matter; ET is King!

If I still have this car in 12 months time I might sell the bike and get some RB's (once I have the lsd in and sorted out the rear end bushes links etc) |

Yes correct I'm in Newcastle, it would be great to catch up when you're settled in. I'm heading to Thailand for a few weeks I would be keen in late feb to head down for a run.
