SST MR/SE 1st gear TPS limiter FOUND!

... ok and with less sarcasm I'll add that I have always been annoyed at the slow first gear response when trying to turn left at an intersection. I always felt like the car was slower then it should be. It was the one thing I was annoyed about in the SST and made me wish for a clutch. That feeling predated my learning that the ECU was vetoing my request and giveng me what it thought I needed. i always swore I would avoid drive-by-committee cars but my daily traffic commute meant I had to give the SST a try.
Soooo now that I've upped the values, and driven my daily commute, I can say it does feel snappier off the line in even a non-launch scenario. I do plan on bumping them up even a little more just to see how it feels and maybe even all 100's just for fun.
In addition, reverse seems so damn numb I might just up those a little too, but I do like that it limits throttle to avoid sudden surges in reverse. But it all makes quick K-turns all but impossible to do and I hate that.

Ok i was wondering about this...
I have a tune on my A/P, and I dont want to lose all the work with it. Instead of waiting for COBB to come out with this update, what would my options be to get this limiter removed, plus keep my tune?

You'll have to copy all the tables from one to the other, I am sure someone can help you out.
Then unmarry the AP, sell it, buy a tactrix cable and evoscan and move on.
Or you can keep the AP as they will become worth it with Tephra behind the wheel

So where is the best place to pick these up at.... or should i say cheapest?
i know i should wait but god knows when they are going to put out there new update

Kind of dissapointed. 302whp 298 torque. Tuned at 23 boost on 93octane. I asked for 25-26lbs but somehow he didnt do it. I dont even know what my baseline was cause he said he couldnt do the baseline cause of my ets intake. He says its dangerous cause my intake will make it lean

Who tuned you? No baseline? And is the MAF housing a different size than the stock one? i.e. who did the MAF scaling for you before? Or did you do it yourself?
...suspect...

Ivey tuned it
There was no baseline because the car was untuned for an intake that would make it very lean (according to the tuner)
It is an ETS intake. MAF size is the same but it does have a velocity stack that might accelerate the air.
I assume the MAF wasn't scaled for the intake... thats why it was being tuned.

Where does it say he had Velocity Stack? The regular ETS intake doesn't have VS, you have to upgrade the MAF housing and intake to get that. ETS ran their intake without a tune to show gains from it. The regular ETS intake uses the factory MAF housing.

I realize their full milled velocity stack is different:

I dont know if it does or does not have a velocity stack. He said he could do the baseline but wed have to put the stock intake back. It just sucks cause i wanted to know how much exactly i picked up from my tune.

Looks like a velocity stack on the factory MAF housing to me... but maybe I have the wrong product:

There are very very few tuners I trust in the states with the 4B11. Ivey is one that I trust... be thankful he is not pushing you over the limit like a lot of these tuners do, which result in blown engines. IMO, the good tuners are the ones that push it but not to the edge. Enjoy the car... numbers are meaningless. I do feel for you not getting a base, but I think Ivey is DJ and I based 242 in my MR. I can up the dyno sheet if that helps?
