dcb,
How did you get these maps? Would I go to a dealer? A mechanic? The internet hunt has never turned up results for me. I rely on PaleMelanesian's extensive experience to identify a sweet spot. I'm confident it is really good... sure would like to see a map. Any tips?

To extract the most power from a given amount of fuel in this example (02 TDI), I want to center my shifts on 1750rpm and have the throttle wide open.
On my saturn I want to center the shifts at about 2500rpm and maintain about 70% throttle.
From the field folks seem to do well with a slightly less aggressive acceleration profile, and of course stop accelerating early to avoid mashing the brakes. |
