coming from TSP stage 1 tune for a while, I thought I would give the "Elimination of forced knock control rise" a go
I put all the quick adjustment into aggressive settings and loaded the basemap tune and went for a drive tonight. My car is CVT + mishimoto intake + mishimotor intercooler
Here is my thought
I really dont think Ktuner basemap is slower than TSP 1 from 0-100km. Yes power delivery is different - Ktuner basemap definitely has the low end kick. TSP 1 is like vtec screaming top, but you wait for it.
however with the elimination of forced knock control - the basemap is definitely a step up now.
1 word - Consistency!
Power is the same, pulls after pulls and the basemap feels pretty damn fast as well. The driving enjoyment can not be underestimated just by this simple change.
How many times do you see knock control rise to over 0.6 after a single WOT pull then you gotta "baby the car" for a while so knock control comes down to 0.49 again? I didn't realise how much driving enjoyment has been lost until now.
I think I will keep the basemap for now.
I really hope TSP can enable this option as well.
Please share your thoughts.
