Is this a good tune?

Car was tuned when I bought it, runs good and good economy.

I took quick look for that bin and it seems like TQ limiters are flat, also small increase in boost and duration.
Which also tells that, whoever made that one did not have any idea what he was doing.

Only good thing with that tune is most of other maps (limiters etc.) are mostly stock so not much harm done.
But gearbox behaviour can be unusual if compared to stock one.

Someone who knows better can correct if i am completely wrong with my opinion.

Thanks for your reply.

I'll agree to that the gearbox have behaved somewhat strange. The way lockup have behaved in 4th have been annoying since I changed the gearbox with a fairly recently rebuilt one; lockup have disengaged, engaged and then disengaged in 4th gear and 4th are beginning to slip and have never engaged properly (slams it in gear like the accumulator have a briken spring which isnt unlikely)

Did get some help from a nice guy who seems to know what he is doing and the car runs a whole lot better and the gearbox is behaving better in fact, but still slips so I'll just put in the 530D box I'm rebuilding myself.

Where are the maps for the gearbox?

What are my own experiences of those GM 5L40-E gearboxes, for TQ converter and inner parts 25d is same as 30d. And can handle over 500nm, if not trying to take max torque out too low rpm.

Converter lockup has always been a bit harsh at some situations.
Slipping should not happen at any point,

Gearbox has it own module, so not that easy to adjust that side. i think actually TQ limiter could be only way to adjust gearbox behaviour.
