I've just tried the updated software out and have to say it certainly seems a bit more feisty than before in the mid-range.
It was a nice sunny afternoon and my friend had his company GTI for the weekend which is insured for all sorts of modifications so we took my standard GTI out for a spin while his cooled down then plugged in the box to his GTI plus my PedalBox (well, it was still a bit warm in the engine bay so we thought it rude not to go the whole hog) and then took his GTI out on the same road we'd just driven mine.
What to say? The power seems to come in earlier than on the previous map (which admittedly I'd not used for some time as I was laid up with a flu-bug for a couple weeks then spent the next couple catching up with work so I'd not had access to my friend's GTI which has the FSR harness attached) and the mid range seems lots more perky than standard. We didn't go ballistic as it was a) public roads and b) Sunday so quite a lot of slow moving stuff about but as a quick back to back with a standard car the box with revised software was much more enjoyable to drive, no snatching or any other undesirable on/off boost situations like some aggressive remaps I've experienced in the past. Just smooth and linear like the factory map but lots more of it.
I ran it on 1 + 2 as that was what it was on before so not sure what gives the best result but it certainly felt lively enough!
I've asked to borrow the car mid-week to give it another shakedown when there's less traffic about. And am looking forward to that!!!
