Now the car drives like a DREAM.

Might just be a bad file or one with glitches like mine at first.

It seemed to primarily happen at low RPM (2k-3k rpm) if I decide to accelerate without downshifting on the earlier tune.

I think we three have the same tuner...

I don't think so. I'm not using Seb. So this seems to be a characteristic of the software and not an issue with the tuner per se.

100% believe it can be "glitchy". Seb is the man and after we reinstalled it with a few tweaks its PERFECT!. No track time yet, but I will in Jan.
