bootmod3 CustomROM Features + New Map Editor + UI Enhancements

June 2, 2021:

B58-T0-C and B58-T0-D OTS map update is out - Version 2.3

The new update utilizes an increase of TCU limitation to the ECU. This allows for more midrange torque combined with a new boost control strategy.
Moreover, the drivability has greatly improved. Casual driving is now totally different and has a stock-like feeling until pedal goes all the way down.
Ignition timing during spool has also been changed allowing for a slightly quicker spool.

Key features:

• Major improvements on drivability
• TCU limitation of 550NM has been lifted
• Boost control has been improved
• Aggressive OTS map versions now have a more deep burble sound
