  Sounds like the hesitation people have seen in certain ECU box types.
  can't remember which one tho', M maybe?  I've got an old A box, so i
  haven't experienced that first hand...

  I definitely noticed this too - power is much more linear.  I did a
  before/after dyno pull on the 3" single Milltek and there's definitely

  MTM chip in an A-box ECU).
