Gray, sounds like you've got a great useable output there, you must be loving it. What you're describing is exactly what i'm after....no sucking noise in the engine bay, no loud exhaust noise but plenty of oomph with pretty good traction.
Would I be right in saying the linear throttle map helps in getting the power down? I think i'll be going the linear route.
Thanks.

Yeah definetly, it feels a bit odd to begin with as the stock throttle map has lots of power at the top of the pedal and the linear throttle requires more of a prod to make the car fast, however. . . When your just pootling about, or driving to poor road conditions it makes modulating the power much easier and you never find the car running away with you when trying to drive gently.
Niki also recons it gives better fuel economy - I've noticed an improvement during gentle driving.
Cruise control seems to work better too, it's not as jerky as before.
Overall I'm very pleased with the whole setup. I can drive round gently with ease, and when the mood takes. . I can get all the power down on the road :happy2:

The way you're describing the linear throttle is how I imagined it to be. It sounds like a necessary tweak for those of us who want a re-map but don't fancy shelling out on a diff.
I noticed mine was more eager to spin up as soon as the uprated hpfp was fitted so i'd imagine with that power you have it's a good idea to keep an eye on front tyre wear and put them to the rear to give them a rest a little earlier than usual!
Thanks.

^^^^ Def go the Linear route and if your after a stage1 to stage2 then yes it's usable. You'll still get a fair bit of wheel hop unless you fit some decent uprated engine mounts (all round) and anti lift kit...at least.
Even with my linear progressive map at stage 2+ she can be a fecking animal if you go WOT to early.......and yeap tyres don't last 10k miles anymore! :signLOL: :signLOL:
