Default User-tune EcuTek ECUs with 'dual maps'

So, I started realizing something after finally getting some time to play more with the user-tune features of my Vishnu stage 1 ECU reflash.

I want to make sure it is perfectly clear to other people how this works, because I feel it's currently clear as mud.

The dual map feature has absolutely nothing to do with user-tune capabilities. You cannot configure your own parameters in the user-tune screen and apply them to map A or map B.

Every user-tune adjustment on the user-tune screen is a global change that will affect both map A and map B alike.

So much for making my own version of the valet map for map 'A' (Sorry, Shiv, 200WHP does not cut it for a valet mode IMO)

I'm disappointed with myself to realize this now. How many of you were aware of this when you bought your EcuTek user-tune ECU?

I asked them specifically about it when I ordered the reflash and they explained that the "B map" only controlled boost

If you adjust boost while currently set to either map, then switch maps, you will see the boost setting remain as you had previously set it.

Now, whether or not map 'A' does some special thing where it ignores what you put in the boost adjustment, I don't know. That sounds like what they told you.

i think too people think DD is like the utec. it's not. if you dump 112 octaine gas in and go to the track you can adjust your ignition, fueling etc across the board.

I actually didn't know this when i bought my DD, but then again that feature wasn't released yet.

I will have to play with the boost map like you describe, i'll post results.

This is true. I didn't know it when i bought the dd. However i don't care. As far as i'm concerned i bought the car for ME and to drive hard. So the last feature i'm looking for is vallet mode. I wanna go fast.

So far i like DD. I put race gas in at the track and turned up the boost a litle and timing. My times didn't change. Then again i'm not tuner.

I most definitely never thought this, personally. I'm aware of the vast difference between the two.

I just got the very strong impression that there were 2 tweakable maps that could have user-tune settings each.

Laaaame.

I got similar impressions based on the wording of the advertising at EcuTek. I realized the possible dual interpretation after being smacked down thinking "user tuning" was more than it really was.

is it possible to have seperate a 93 octane map in the normal mode, and a 100 octane map for the 'valet' map?

Not via user-tune settings on an off-the-shelf setup.

You would need to have it flashed that way by your tuner.
