Hooray it wasn't the shrooms I was taking while driving 
can't wait to get this sorted out!
You can also send me a "draft" tune with the 3 modes extremely different from each other, just so you're sure you got them in the right order. My experience was Sport > Eco > Normal, not Sport > Normal > Eco. The draft tune would be perfect to really trace which is which.

I've got our dealer Rafael helping with this as well.
We are sending out updated tune files for all NX based ECUs right now.
Also we have a load control update that should smooth out shifting, (up and down) on all version cars. We expect to have that available asap

It was definitely a confusing situation but I think we have it now.

anyone can comment on the turbo lag / throttle response issue after the tune? Thanks... thinking of improving the turbo lag, not looking or expecting better 0-60 times, but just wanna be able to overtake on the highway without the dreaded lag, which sometimes can prove dangerous.

Based off of the dyno results, it showed around 100ft lbs of torque gained and +40 hp. Should be quite noticable to the driver and when it comes to over taking. Are you running lower boost?

Results may vary and I've never Dyno'd. Besides tune and turbo muffler delete I have no other mods. Downpipe should help with power.

Im running the standard flash with a downpipe and the throttle response is greatly improved even though its not the custom tune that gives the full 40 hp and 100 torque. The car does feel like it has more power on the first drive of the day but it does get heatsoaked extremely quickly so the power starts diminishing

I’m not too sure but I think its a bunch of things that contribute to it. Since the tune is increasing boost I think that adds to the heat in the engine bay. I’m running the injen intake which uses a metal pipe instead of the stock plastic so that can heat up quicker. I also had to remove the stock downpipe heat shield because of the aftermarket dp so that probably makes the problem worse too.
If anyone has any other ideas or can correct me please feel free to chime in - I’d like to know for sure too lol

I know another member hooked up the Toyota Prius coolant pump for the batteries to supply continuous recirculation to the heat exchanger. He put it on a switch to turn it on when running hard. I want to see how the coolant lines are ran for the heat exchanger to upgrade it.

We will be pushing out several updates to folks this weekend! Lots of things cleaned up and new transmission tune.
Also, we will be publishing our DIY Tuning solution for folks looking to tune their own vehicles tomorrow on our site Thanks. It allows for flashing, logging, and tuning the ECU yourself, along with a base tune from us

You could get a small turbo blanket. They work great! Also the PPE downpipe has mounts for the heat shield I believe.
