OTS maps effect traction control? Drive with ESC disabled?

I usually hit sport mode every time I hop in . I have turn it fully off a few times . Once I flashed stage 3 and get a stratified tune I will go full race mode hahaha

Does anyone else feel like the car pulls power on a hard 1-2 shift? Like in my srt4 a hard 1-2 shift would never drop boost and just smoke the tires.
In my fiesta I feel like the car pauses power for like half a second then allows it to continue.
I understand what you're saying. I'm pretty sure everyone else is misunderstanding what you're trying to explain.

This is not related to the tuning affected by Cobb et al, but appears to be a built-in and unchangeable setting that is a delay between pedal input and allowed torque output specifically post-gear-change. There's just no way this baby turbo can have that much lag post-shift at WOT. I run a much bigger turbo in my 1.6L Miata that has no cam phasing at all and the lag is absent in comparison in this particular circumstance. Unless the stock BOV and/or BOV programming is faulty and is surging the compressor to stall, it must be an ECU determined torque output delay.

So, it's either:
*overly conservative torque output time-delay in ECU (IMO a more likely scenario)
*faulty BOV setup causing compressor surge, inducing unnaturally high lag time

It is not:
*forgetting to sport mode your ESC/TSC settings
*torque reduction in 1st and 2nd with stock mapping


Reviewing some logs would shed more light on the situation to see if the throttle valve and requested torque match pedal angle with reasonable rationality.
