Well,
As per questions above methinks TAS did a fantastic job of a very safe MSPNP tune. Only 8psi boost, very flat AF ratio throughout the rev range with max torque and power around 6K, and equally smooth and strong from 3K onward right to the soft/hard limit.
I'll get the dyno chart up here at some stage but very smooth lines and the seat of the pants experience supports the chart line.
A country cruise from Toowoomba to the Southside last Thursday revealed what 160HP at the wheels was like vs a std 1600 of maybe 80hp. I wish I had a videophone so my mates could see the silly boyish grin on my face. My main concern was whether I'd have heating issues but no sign of that whatsover.
Sunday was a Motorkhana at Willowbank with both my son and I driving it for a dozen short 20-40 sec bursts. Great to have that extra punch on occasions when you just needed to drift it that extra car length. The extra power was not overly useful in such an event though.
Monday - what a Monday. MX5 club track day at Lakeside. I was used to lots of steering input and full throttle from most apexes onward but wow what a transformed car. A lot more attention had to be paid to throttle control. Somewhere along the line I forgot it was a regularity and just kept going for better times and with a bit of incentive being Danny behind me on the last lap of the last run I set a best time of 1:05:xx with xx maybe being 31 from memory. Woooot!
The tune is bloody great and I don't know how I would improve it at this stage. The 1.6 is on full boost from 3000 onward - prob coming on from 1800 rpm onward. It's only a small turbo. What a buzz. I have a hell of a lot to learn about the MS, fueling , spark etc etc and would be keen to suss out the best way to do datalogging for events such as today - ideally without a laptop in the car. I did read about the Innovate DL-32 product (

Anyway - I'm over the moon with the tune and the ECU and the rest of the new kit. No heating issues obvious at this stage either. Everyone should have boost and MSPNP! I'm going to make time in the next week to study the tune settings.
C ya out there!
