What are everyone's impressions of the KTuner 19/23 psi basemap vs the VIT 19/25 map? Regarding the higher boost map on Sport mode for each, what has changed other than the boost target? Do both use early spool, aggressive ramp rate, aggressive part throttle turbo responsiveness and standard padding, etc? Without giving away any trade secrets, what was changed on the VIT tune and what compromises were made to please everyone or in the name of longevity? I ask because even tho I only ran the 19/23 basemap for less than 20 miles, I'm having a hard time feeling the difference running the 19/25 map a day later. Someone save me the trouble of me flashing back to the 19/23 map by telling me the 19/25 map is better!

My guess is that the 19/23 map I was running with aggressive ramp, early spool, and aggressive part throttle settings FEELS quicker potentially because it comes on a bit sooner and more abrupt. Am I wrong? Again, not enough seat time with either tune but I am willing to trade a little max power for the power being delivered a little harder.

Maybe it is because I didn't disable traction control that it feels more subdued? I dunno. I have some more experimentation to do. Going to disable TC and go try it out.

That's something I would like to know as well !

I feel like the 19/25 tune is more crisp. Before I tuned I felt myself shifting at 4500 where as now I comfortably shift at 3k max with casual driving. The power comes on so quick now. The 19/23 tune is still amazing but the Stage 1 19/25 tune feels more refined, to me anyways. I only went into Sport mode once and did a pull to make sure I was getting the advertised 25psi, I primarily stay in Normal mode. As far as longevity tho, they are too new to make any scientific assessments.

How did your clutch feel? Any slippage in the higher boosting Sport Mode?

To be fair, I haven't tried VIT's map with traction control off. So maybe that has something to do with 1st and 2nd gear at least. I'll prob try running it again when I get more seat time with the 19/23 KTUNER map so I am more qualified to tell the difference.
