Problems/issues: None, had problems with the transmission but that was from the previous owner.

ECO for map 3 of TSP Stage 1 seems to be more aggressive instead of an eco setting (maybe I'm missing something)
Remember that each map uses a somewhat different setup when you press the Econ button. If you want something close to the stock equivalent eco mode, use Map 1 and press the Econ button.
