Hi again,
Sorry if this is thread jacking but i thought i'd share the responses from eTuners and TMG who both took the time to provide a more thoughtful technical response.
eTuners would be a custom dyno map by their rep here in Sydney for the car which can adjust knock sensor sensitivity settings and AFR. These can be set based on customer requests or left to the tuner to map out based on their understanding of the setup and safe parameters.
TMG can do the tune over in Greece by sending an ECU to them with the car's spec. Obviously driving from Sydney or London to Athens is inconvenient. From TMG:
The best thing is to send us the ECU and we ll send back to you.
According to Remap, when you build a new file, you adjust all filters, including knock sensors. The threshold of filtering them in a way that the car works safely is vital. We've made thousands of tests and we know exactly the threshold between power and reliability. So each filter is adjusted in respect with engine reliability.
The AFR is set to be in stage 2 around 0.77-0.8 to revlimit.
We adjust the maps in order to protect the engine, so of course we do not remove the component protection maps.
