Good morning/afternoon everyone. Wanted to see if anyone could help. I’m currently running xHP stage 2, but without custom settings outside of active line pressure and lanch from 2nd gear. Can anyone recommend or share what they use? I don’t want to kill the transmission, but want the most out of xHP I can get while maintaining the health of the transmission

Following, ‘cuz I’m running Stage 3 w/ no editing as of yet

Here's my wildass stage 3 settings if you decide to kill your transmission one day lol

Following as I am getting xHP tune in a few weeks.

Why in the world do you want to take off in 2nd all the time, I would only flash that for when you are planning on launching from a dig and only if traction is an issue trying to launch from 1st gear from a dig.

That is why, I’m running JB4 tune on a custom map and E30 blend. Unless you are throwing huge tires on the back or get beadlocks you will spin. Also in my case and I’m not sure if there’s an issue but 1st gear is pushing too much boost when launching for the ecu since it’s not on a custom flash tune. So I’m bogging in 1st.

But it only uses this mode when launching. Not daily driving

If you want you can also select from XHP preset maps and then from there make small adjustments to create a custom map for each drive mode.

First go to shifting screen, click the edit button on shiftmap editor, click on the downward arrow on the S-mode and choose their presets from neutral to sportive+. After selecting the preset map you want to try go back one screen and click on the customize tab to see what settings are used and from there take notes and adjust to your driving style.

Wellll... First off based on what you said OP you want the most out of XHP but without killing transmission. You need to be in Stage 3. All other adjustments others can guide you.
Enjoy your braap.

Just installed XHP, straight to stage 3 and all I can say is wow…shifts are so fast and really how it should have come from factory.

Anybody ran stage 2 for a while and the switched to stage 3? I'm on stage 2 for a while now and wondering what the switch would be like.

I feel that I remember reading somewhere that stage 3 starts to put more stress on things.

I’ve been running the stage 3 xHP map since day 2 of owning the car my trans is taking a hit in first though

[vrships]

A weired question: does any stage 1/2/3 change more low-level TCU settings that aren't covered by any custom settings?

I still keep running stage 0 stock map but has changed all the settings like shift map/ upshift torque reduction/shift speed asignment/etc and I have made the transmission behaving very differently now.

If maps really make things faster than from what I can access, I ll definitely go for them

be careful as this stage 3 adds a decent amount of stress on trans and internal components
