Have many times over lol, I have Vit stage 1 on slot 1 and TSP on slot 2, tsp blows vits it if the water and then there are the enhancements that came from Ktuner that are not available with vits tune. I also just put the prl race cobra on last night and tsp hooked me up with the tune for the race maf, it’s way better and extremely happy with TSP!
This is good to hear. Which tsp map are you comparing that blows vits stage 1? I assume map 3? If so can you compare vits with tsp map 3 on normal (no sport). I believe vit on non sport mode is 21psi or am I mistaken on that.

You have 3 "maps" that are uploaded with one file.
Each map has dual settings.
One is non-sport mode. The other is activated when pressing the sport button.

Your rotate through the maps by using your steering wheel buttons.
The tachometer will settle on 1k rpm, 2krpm, 3krpm, so you know visually what map you have chosen.

Map 1 (1000rpm display on tach): Factory boost levels and turbocharger response.
Map 2: (2000rpm display on tach) 19psi normal, 21psi "Sport" mode, Improved Turbocharger Response II
Map 3: (3 000rpm display on tach)19psi normal, custom boost level "Sport" mode, Improved Turbocharger Response II

Does the cruise button still work as a way off enabling/disabling rev hang?

Everything works as KTuner designed it, you just get the benefit of paying for one tune and essentially getting 3 tunes due to the Ktuner setup:)

Got it. Last question before I order, I read on another thread that mentioned that the traction control was disabled with this tune. Any truth to that?

Nice. Please keep us updated on how you like it and what the differences are.

Hands down, TSP Stage 1. Best bang for your buck and best out of the box tune there currently is.

Same as others, it isn't completely disabled at the track you will still want to do the Nintendo cheat code but once you have gotten used to it that takes around 15-20 seconds.

As for comparison of Vit's - I have Stage 1 on slot 1, and TSP Stage 1 on slot 2, have already provided feedback on this previously:) I guess more the merrier but have done it already:)

Ok thanks for the info. Gonna place my order when I get home tonight.

Is it safe for the car and clutch to run map 3 all the time?

I do, 27k miles, I take, Dp/FP no issues but I actually broke the clutch and the car in prior to driving hard and throwing more power at it:)

I'd be interested to hear how you like the TSP vs Vit's. I've been running Vit's stage 1 for a while now and the car drives very good.
