A couple of questions.

1. This feature is open and accessible with the TSP Stage 1?

2. What are you finding to be the best settings to use and can you explain the setup a bit to those of us that haven't tried Advanced VSA yet?

Thanks for any insight you have.
1 Yes its a feature available on TSP tunes, it will eventually be available to us, I have tested it as well.
2 I enjoy aggressive ignition pullback and turning off VSA with the VSA button. Car doesnt bog itself when I start to spin the tires.

2nd this. It was raining here yesterday so I messed around with it a bit. The aggressive ignition pullback is a.w.e.s.o.m.e.

the 3 levels of vsa make it so that during the skid the power is cut less, it means that at the exit of the curve the car finally does not sit but continues to push

Yes, I understand your Google English fairly well.:thumbsup:

So basically, stock, the Honda VSA mostly uses throttle pullback where Advanced VSA uses different levels of ignition timing reduction. Is that the gist of it?

Yes that's that exactly. Here is a datalog of a 2nd gear pull at medium ignition / medium throttle and you will notice that TPS.CMD is only reduced to 90% without actually loosing any turbo pressure, and ignition is pulled back to -10 degrees to reduce power. With the Honda VSA TPS.CMD would have been as low as 40% and the boost would be totally lost, so upon regaining traction the turbo would have to spool again. The only drawback to this is that the retarded ignition increases the exhaust gas temperatures by a lot so over-using this on the aggressive settings may result in your catalytic converter being destroyed over (some) time
