Does anyone know the actual differences between Map 2 and Map 3 on Phearable?

So like the title says, I've seen a few people mention that Map 2 and Map 3 on the Phearable tune feel pretty identical. I believe Cameron Hill mentioned this before too and you can see in some of his race videos when he switches between Map 2 and Map 3 there really is no difference. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the actual power differences between the 2 maps.

You may not always see much of a difference on 91. TSP is also subject to a similar limitation as KR rises and timing is pulled - especially in hot weather or under repeated pulls.

From what I read map 2 is 20psi and map 3 is 24psi. I ordered yesterday, hoping it comes in the mail soon here otherwise it's looking like Monday. I'll be posting somewhere about it once I get done testing it out

I'm sure the basic feel of the 20 psi and 24 psi maps is similar in most scenarios with the 24 psi map obviously having a bit more oomph at WOT.

Maybe former TSP Stage 1 users feel the Phearable map 2-3 difference is slight because they were used to the huge map 2-3 boost delta (16.5 psi to 24 psi) with the TSP?

TSP Si tune hits 22psi on map 2 and I have seen it spike over 23. I have never run map 3 so I can’t compare.

Yeah, I realize now that this was posted in the Si forum. I was basing my comment on the non-Si version. My apologies.

Specifically for the 1.5T civic si:
Level 1: Low Boost / ~19.5psi**
Level 2: Medium Boost / ~22psi**
Level 3: High Boost / ~25psi**
**Maximum boost pressure target is an approximation, and may vary due to atmospheric conditions.

There is in fact a difference between level 2 and level 3.

There are multiple factors which would make level 3 feel similar to level 2 including: elevation, air density, intake air temperatures, fuel quality etc.
