Hi there just a question if you download a map that has ignition advance does that mean that it's advanced through tune ecu or has it been manually advanced with a ignition advancer cheers in advance

What type of map did you downloaded, a tuneecu map or a powercommander map?
if it says in the comments section of a tuneecu map that it has additional advance this means that in some sections there is more ignition advance than the standard map.
This can be manually added or copied out of Otto's map on the tuneecu site. This was done by him and tested on the dyno.

How did you come to the conclusion it has more ignition advance, did you do a compare?

I don't know that map and don't have a standard 05 map on my computer as I never had an 05 model.
In tuneecu you can load 2 maps and compare.
