Looking for advice from people using aftermarket management with the standard GTi TPS ideally.
Basically, I've got an issue where when I'm on very light throttle (e.g in traffic) The throttle is just too sensitive and ends up lurching a fair bit. As far as i understand, the original TPS was only ever used to signal the standard ECU to tell it when its on full throttle or closed and nothing really in-between so it gives a liner output. I was wondering if anyone had ever overcome this issue and used a different TPS that isn't linear? So basically, less sensitive at the beginning of the throttle range? Im considering buying one of the Omex ones (look identical to the Jenvey ones) but i don't want to risk spending £75 to find out its just the same!!

Its wired using a omex loom. Works spot on, reacts spot on, Raw values set up spot on but it just seems to be too sensitive at low RPM and loads!

Oh really? Got any info on the 2 ways then?

BTW ECU came back from Omex a few weeks ago. Top service from Guy. He couldnt find a fault on the test bench but replaced the drivers always and its been fine since! Glad i went for Omex now

Just another thought but is the throttle body standard? You've not bored all the ramps out of the body or anything?
'Ported' throttle bodies can ruin light throttle driving.

I'll be sure to tell sandy that you don't think his mapping is up to scratch. Thumbs up

Good point Allan but no, my TB is completely standard. Just jacked open ever so slightly as it runs scatter spark rather than ICV

No, mines been done by Track and Road. I would of had Sandy do it but he's just too far and considering the rep T&R have, i was more than happy to let them have it.

I was thinking about this last night whist i couldnt sleep waiting for santa to come. I need to check my map when i can be bothered to find my laptop as i have a feeling that seeing as it only does it as very low RPM and throttle load (literally when you're crawling at idle in 1st basically), it may be jumping in and out of idle condition

quite likely, without doing the same engines day in day out you'll rarely get them as good as o.e.m, time doing road mapping and logging is where you can smooth them out a lot.

dunno where stefs s**tty attitude has come from nor why he thinks I dislike sandy for some reason??

niall, its not that far down there and it is 100% worth it, youre only in london not Scotland LOL

Oh yeah i know every engine is different and Peugeot would of spent millions developing the original map. I expected that and expected a sense of rawness with the omex but considering its a very basic system, it drives VERY VERY well. Much better than cars I've driven from a certain other "peugeot specialist" mapper also in Essex.

Considering i had to have the car flatbed there, i wasn't paying to flat bed it down to Sandy! lol
