There's a lot of comparison between the older versions of these but not the new ones.. Anyone have any real world comparison between these tunes ?

As far as direct comparisions, right now I think the issue is this. Most people that had the TSP Stage 1 used the discounted upgrade and switched to the TSP 1+. And most people with the Phearable 1.5 upgraded to the R version of that tune.

Best bet is to find reviews in the TSP 1+ and Phearable 1.5R threads and compare those.

That is the exact reason why I started watching the thread but hadn't weighed in. I upgraded to TSP Stage 1+ and don't really want to spend $150 on a tune just to compare. However if someone else does so and says they prefer the 1.5R tune, I may be tempted to try it out. I will say that I am quite happy with the power bump and drivability improvements vs TSP stage 1.

Are you on stock clutch? I had the tsp stages 1 and had no issues on stock clutch but I wonder if the + will send it over lol

Yeah I'm on the stock clutch. Ran TSP Stage 1 on map 3 for a bit over 10,000 miles. Been running 1+ on map 3 without any issues whatsoever. Currently sitting at about 71,000 miles on the odometer.
Good stuff I guess I probably pull the trigger on 1+. I like the discount they are offering. So do you have to have sport mode on to get max power still?

Yes, sport mode map 3 all day haha. I rip on it at least a few times a day, always taking care not to lug the engine, especially in 4th-6th.

edit: I just remembered, 1+ has map 3 having the same PSI numbers, but either way, I like the throttle and steering response on sport mode.

Glad to hear this, I ordered a KTuner with Stage 1+ from TSP just last week. Can't wait for it to arrive !
