What have you set the CO to? That file runs 14.5:1 of boost so if anything is wrong it will be hesitant.

You get the same issues when you bolt a swedish type plenum onto a std engine. Havent done that yet have you?

isnt this just the typical transient fuelling issues of greys on L1 stu or is that a myth?

I was told you would never get a clean stable idle on greys, odd that is what I have, 850rpm and well under 1.5% CO, can't see why the L1 would be particularly bad.
Unless that EXACT spec has been mapped before(and copied) any chip can only be a guess at best.

the idle is very stable and it runs great apart from part throttle low down response

Check you have plugged in the throttle position sensor

Also.... May I suggest a new set of injectors or have them cleaned....

Do you know anyone who can do this ?
