any conversion ecu required a full retune to get it working sweet, if you look in your rom pack under type 6 he rb25 bin files are all there..
Yes your reasoning on the maf map is correct, ive been spending more and more time in this map now that nistune changed the scale manipulation for me (on other ecus like pfc its where i spend most time), it used to be a tedious job as the values would only scale up and down in 10's... they have since changed it for me so it scales in 100's and it has been absolute bliss
Cant fault the Nistune guys as they are quick to react and help with any suggestions or upgrades.
