well, i am running a normal map (not stage 2) for a manual car (you need to tell them if its DSG etc), basically i emailed them saying about the issue with telboys car and wondered if mine was correct, the morning after i got e text saying there was a new map for me to download, no explanation, i emailed them and just got a reply saying the new map is the correct map for my car, i still dont know if i have been running a different map to the one i have just applied.
My car also felt fine like you, and pulled well and ran perfectly before this new map, perhaps its in my head, perhaps its the fact the car has reset itself by applying the map or perhaps its an updated map, whichever it is the car feels better and i at least know that i am working and all is ok.
