Agreed with the earlier posts. I think the auto blip feature is cool, but I'll never use it.

Still waiting on my first tune, but Autoblip really doesn't interest me. Two levels of TC sounds more useful.

I never really turn on Autoblip. It's kinda neat, but could live without it. Not sure if ECUTek's TC is great or not either though.

I use autoblip all the time, please do not remove it. Normally i rev match all the time but doing a heel and toe everyday is something i do not do. Autoblip rectifies this annoyance. Now when i really have to stop for a corner i can just stay on the brakes and let autoblip rev match. For most the traction control will be useless as this car hardly has enough power to break the tires lose.

Are you joking? i can be going 25 mph on dry roads and get it sideways on a 75°< Turn. Now in the rain like today, i would love to see 2 maps of different TC settings. I dont even have this tune yet and i know i'll want that.

I'm also working on my Flex Fuel Kit.

I might post some pictures of it.. depends on how far I get.

Auto Blip is the only feature I use regularly. I'd rather live without the no lift shift and the launch control I don't use either of those at all. I haven't used any of the maps with the ecutek TC so I have no comment in those yet.

I suppose I would like the chance to try Autoblip before it was removed if some of you find that it works well.

If autoblip could intelligently rev-match, it would be a cool feature. However, as it functions now it has little real world application, IMO.

In my limited experience with the RaceRom TC, I found it to be much less intrusive than the factory settings. I haven't pushed it to the limits, yet, but it feels very smooth. I haven't gone into an 'oh shit' moment, however.

Personally I like the and use the autoblip but wish it was set to come on at a lower speed. I don't have the update with TC yet so can't comment on that.

I love the auto blip. The pedals are NOT positioned nicely for heel toeing. At least for me

I haven't experiences with the traction control on the track , SO no comment.
Flat shift not needed I don't drag race anymore, Launch control again I don't drag race. Maybe a Tune that's for drag racing that would include those items would work.

just drop the brake pedal by 1 cm and then it's perfect.
Can heel and toe each gear to red light even in city drive.
So when spirited mountain drive it's peace of cake
