I asked mu tuner if we can do something with that solid green line but it is quite hard operation.

Another thing that I really feel is some kind of lag.
It happens when I pull the pedal gas hardly then stop for a miliseconds ;) and than push the pedal again very hard.
Probably it is not connected with tuning, because I felt it before tune. I think there are two reason behind that:
1) Our slow transmission 6f55 - on the other hand, it is longer lifetime
2) the turbo needs to wake up

I had the answer from the tunee that we can do something with that (some kind of keeping constant rpm) but it has very negative aspects for lifetime of the engine. I'm not a dragging racer so I don't need it

So in other words it is all about your needs and purpose of our lovely FFS 😁
 
The other thing I always try to remind people is to get to know your car in stock form first. Just get a feel for how it responds, what the handling is like, how it sounds, that sort of thing. That way when you change things you'll have a good baseline of what the car should be like, so you can compare that to whatever is happening. It also gives you more appreciation both for how much the car has to offer, even totally stock, as well as how much you gain with a tune.
@Engineer - very well said! I regret a little bit that I did tune too fast. The difference which I really feel is the HP below 2k rpm which is in most of the cases daily drive. So I can really feel that below 2k I have less power. Of course if I push the pedal harder and go beyound 2 k rpm car is stronger but it was big changing for me. I look at my graph and it confirmed my feeling. This is the one negative aspects for me personally but I used to it :)
