I believe one member here with MT prefers AWGD8-2 map. Some prefers to just disable ETC(elect. throttle control) in their tune if you are MT. This give them 1:1 pedal/throttle feel- like a cable, but you lose (cruise control, etc)

If AT I would try the same MAP that I posted. One of our members AMNQV, recently tried the Awgd8-power and he said he likes it. Depending on your butt dyno settings, some might not even feel a thing....That is why I always encourage to give me a feed back so I can do it better. Smooth throttle thread is created by wstar and I like to give credit to him since he opened up the possibilites. It just took me a year to figure it out which section of the throttle maps affect what etc.

BTW, Seymore4 is a great tuner and he etune my car 2 years ago. I was lucky enough to grab a used tuner version of the engine managment and after Seymore dialed in my tune, I decided to play around with my throttle settings.
So far I have made 24 etunes file (10 from Seymore4) and the rest are exploring the throttle Maps settings.
Great thanks for the advice! I will try both settings and let you know after I get the cable. I will be doing maps as I don't want to lose synchro Rev or cruise control. ..like others have stated I wish that wasn't a global setting because switching it via maps would be awesome.

As an update I finally drove my car today and it drives fine in map 1. Map 3 & 4 bogged down and the car went into a limp type mode. Guess it's running rich. Also guessing map 1 may be stock for me? I'll have my tuner cable by the end of the week and looking forward to getting an etune with seymore!
