Chaps,
Having got over my teething troubles with the Maptun Stage 2 ECU, and having washed and polished the car for a good 5hp gain (hey, that much dirt must weigh *something*), I took the beast out for some testing on a UK bypass that shall remain unnamed.
I ran the tests Zeke and Karl have been using, although I feel they don't show the strengths of my car's new characteristics. Runs were made as Karl described - start well below the range and drive through it, starting and stopping the clock at the appropriate speeds to eliminate turbo lag from the equation.
Ambient temperature was a comfortable 21-22C (around 44F).
100-150kph (3rd): 5.43 sec (average of 4 runs - best:5.25, worst:5.63)
80-120kph (4th): 4.82 sec (average of 4 runs - best:4.75, worst:5.00)
I felt the direction I was mostly running in was slightly uphill, but the few runs I managed in the return direction were in the same ball-park, so I'm not putting forward any excuses. These don't look great compared to Karl and Zeke's times. Perhaps my airbox is still strangling the top end a bit. I also have a visible hesitation at around 120 in 3rd (I'll work out the RPM later).
However, what can I say about this ECU, but "Wow!" ?
