Thanks for posting the image, I see the button now.

I am getting a feel for it. With less load I would feel comfortable accelerating very slowowly from 1200-1300 rpm. For higher load, higher rpm to avoid lugging. I do not plan on accelerating from idle in gear 3, 4, or 5.

That brings up a good point. The tune really reminds you it is a computer sometimes. I am convinced it could make more power at any rpm, but particularly in the low rpm you can feel the computer cutting power as rpm drops. I suspect they did this for a reason.

Still interested in whether people have experienced engine bearing failure, VNT (variable vanes in turbo) plugging, maybe surprise engine mount or DMF (dual mass flywheel)...
