Nobody can give you exact numbers.

The TSP Stage 1 definitely has more power than the base KTuner.

The reason the KTuner tune feels aggressive af is because you maxed out all the settings. So from a start to maybe 4500 rpm it will feel fast. After 5,000 rpm or so the acceleration drops off a cliff.

Power on the TSP is much more linear so it feels a bit softer down low, but it rockets at higher rpm.

Btw, you mentioned you run the Starter 23, but that tune isn't available on your hatch. You run the 21 psi tune.

You have to read a little bit more :p Now I understand why you post in this thread. Anyway, you have to select the MAF RACE option when purchasing the TSP tune. Ask by mail if they can send you the tune with that option.

I downloaded 1.0.9.5 from the site, flashed my previous tune with the new version and oh my god, it's sooooo smooth around 1500rpm …

Thanks @KTuner for the update, and thanks to all the folks that worked to get the data and make this update come to life!!!

Do you mean the stutter or the tune itself?

So is this a manual transmission/Euro ecu issue only? I haven't had this to any noticeable degree on my KTuner or TSP tunes with my non-Si CVT turbo.
