Hello friends,
I have purchase the TSP Stage 1 Non Si tune and have been using this new tune since Friday and here are my thoughts.
I can definitely tell the difference in Starter 21 with all quick adjustments maxed and this tune. I have a beta of the Advanced VSA so when I launch Starter 21 from a dead stop, I dont have VSA intervening like it would with VSA stock, I use advanced ignition pull back and when I hammer it the car just goes, quick too but you can definitely feel the advanced VSA working. On the TSP with no advanced VSA, when I mash from a zero, I get a smooth launch that feels good but doesnt spin and then about 4000 rpms the beast of the tune is unleashed. Boost is ramped in nicely peaked at 25 and settled between 23 and 24 psi on a run from 0-80. If you are looking for that punch in the mid range this it. Reminds me of how my custom e30 tune was, soft and safer down low and beastly from 40-80 mph (not its not as fast as that) And yes a freeway roll from 40-85 the car flies, you will definitely notice a difference in power.
Daily driving in the city the car is stable and good. I've always enjoyed ktuner for just city driving, always smooth taking off or rolling stop and go in traffic no jitteryness like the other brand. TSP is no different drives the same and keeps the smoothness I like. I do a lot of city in S but tried D too and was surprised that D had very good throttle response too.
The listing says that the tune is made for factory intake or intake that keeps fuel trims in check. I have the AF Dynamic SRI and my fuel trims are the same as the base maps on ktuner. 95% of the time 0 for LTFT and no worse than -3% when idling or cruising slower than 10 mph so no fuel trim issues with my intake either.
I also have a custom 93 tune to go with me custom e30 tune and now this TSP Stage 1. I bought Stage 1 because I wanted to experience for myself and be able to give people real world feedback. There is nothing better than a custom tune and both of mine are wonderful. I dont use the e30 on the street anymore as it was fun but I wouldnt use it much and you get less MPGs running E. I use my 93 custom the most since you know, I paid the most for it lol, but I enjoy this TSP Stage 1 and am going to continue to use it for a few weeks to keep getting real world data on it. Currently here in Dallas it feels like 108 so IATS have been bad and can affect the tune. Hoping to get try it with some cooler weather as well.
In conclusion, TSP Stage 1 is an amazing tune, a nicely refined base map and a great value for what you get. Makes a great alternative if you aren't interested in custom tuning or heck, buy it and use it untill you have your full bolts installed before you get a custom tune. You won't regret this purchase at all. Thanks to @Two Step Performance @D-RobIMW for making an awesome tune for the non Si guys. I appreciate it, and if yall want custom tuning after this, use Derek, the man is tirelessly working to make great tunes for the masses while still busting his ass for his custom tuned customers.
Ask any questions you have and I will be glad to answer them.
