rom what i understand its a torque-based map that's needed for the best results
Simple, use whatever your tuner can give you the best result with.
Doesn't matter what anyone else says or does......your tuner needs to be happy with it.
One might say the software is truly horrific...others might think it is great. I'd say in most cases the hardware on most ecu's these days is pretty good, but how they interact with the user, the level of control etc just varies massively.
Some ecu's might claim the same features, how they end up in the real world, can be vastly different
Another I can add to the list as shit, is AEM Infinity....I recently bought a car with one, and whilst it is not as bad as other ecu's based around a similar source, it is just crap. But it'll do for a short time until I can get space in the garage to rewire for a Syvecs.
And as Mark says....gearbox controllers just add another minefield to that, plus they then have to interact with the engine control ecu too, another minefield lol
From my searches, the Turbo Lamik seems to have the most people saying they just plugged it in, did basic setup and they were driving away. I like that scenario.
