Higher resolution maps are obviously better. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to work that out.
What i'm saying is with the "cruise" maps its not important, I don't know many people who drive up and down the freeway jumping on and off the throttle, cranking boost then back into full vacuum do you?
You sit at pretty much the same vacuum point at the same speed, which happens to be 110km/h, the speed limit. That's where you get fuel economy. So why have a massive resolution for cruise maps.
My car is more economical than my mates MA61 with 7MGTE and factory ECU on the freeway. We haven't compared on city driving as there are too many variables.
It's not even an issue around the city anyway. As long as your air/fuel ratios are tuned properly for smooth crisp acceleration thats exactly what you want. If it's not economical enough for you then the thing is leaning out and you'll blow a headgasket.
As for the idle up, I have one solenoid i switch on from the centre console for start ups in winter and switch it off after 5 minutes(it can be setup automatically off the M/Tech). When setting your cold start maps just do it over 3 mornings and by the fourth it will be fine. Very easy to adjust if you've got some sort of idea.
These are all features you can't adjust in the factory ECU unless you have a Techtom adaptor and the software, READ f*cking expensive.
I know other MK3's running microtechs and they have no issues with idling whilst air con is on. The 3litres of engine capacity is enough to not even drop it 100rpm.
Also I'm not going for outright power(although I love it). I have smooth, reliable, and crisp acceleration and driveability that is better than my mates car and I have more than twice the kW's he has at his wheels.
Unless you've delved into engine tuning parameters and know what your talking about, its quite difficult to just say "they're only good for WOT".
