MRC stage 2 crackle and pop map

Post by RS4LAD » Thu Feb 01, 2018 10:31 pm

Guys how many of you are running this map on here?
I expected a lot more from it, thinking it would be like most newer cars and popping and crackling all over. But it’s more on downshifts and overrun. It’s confusing the life out of me! Someone please advise the proper way to get it working!

Cheers

The newer cars only pop on downshifts and overrun exactly as you are describing.

Mike Iv noticed if revving with clutch down there are some crazy bangs and pops and flames. Do you know if it’s healthy or if it’s meant to do that?

You don’t need them anyway. :lol:

Did you get launch control mapped in? That gives you crazy pops with the clutch in.

I didn’t opt for the crackle map as thought I’d prefer the natural overrun burble it makes and heel and toe downshift if wanting a pop, etc.

Aha Marc, he said to me when revving with the clutch down it made loud bangs and he does have flat shift so probably has launch too.

Reading Marcs post it seems this is normal for when revving with the clutch down. Is that a big issue though?

Nice one buddy. If the video is on the device you are using to post on the forum, you just need to scroll down a bit in the ‘post reply’ section and click on the attachment tab and then just select the photo/video from your photo stream.

But yeah, send me a vid, :thumbs:

Launch it, it’s great. Hooks up nicely. You I’ll likely get a flame on gear change if you don’t have cats. LC is adjustable too, but I thought it would be best to leave around the 4K mark.
