Oh gawd.. it's turned into one of those threads!
My 2p (regarding partial throttle). R-Tech maps are the only maps I've had that are completely smooth and predictable going through various throttle/load positions. There's none of that sudden boost out of nowhere situation when you just want to get moving without drama. Other maps always seemed to have a bit of 'indecision' about them. Easily confused.
It's worth noting that the other maps I'm talking about were on different engines. 1.8T, AJM, etc. So my point may well be completely invalid!
It's only k03 Stage 2 so I don't think it's got 1:1 throttle mapping, but for what it is, it's very good. I can't pick any faults in it.
If and when I go k04 I have the option of having the mapping done along with the hardware, at Statller. I assume it'd be Revo. To be honest I'm 50/50. Would I gain that much by staying with R-Tech? Possibly. Would there be an advantage to using the same guy for hardware and software? Probably. If any issues arose after the conversion I'd imagine it'd be easier to diagnose and sort by effectively trusting Steve with the whole responsibility from the start. Best way I could word it but you get my point.
When I had misfire issues on the current map I got the impression there was only so much Steve felt he could investigate as it wasn't 'his' map. He did infer that the R-Tech map was running a lot of timing and could have been causing an issue. Which kind of put me at odds between Statller and R-Tech. Ultimately it got sorted with refurbed injectors but keeping it all in-house probably has its merits in some cases.
Anyway, my point is that it's not always as black and white as saying tuner A is 'better' than tuner B.
Bit of a ramble that
