I assume you mean gas mileage during conservative driving.
The Abbott ECU has poor mileage; even when making an effort it remains quite high. The Maptun ECU I have now will yield mileage equal to -if not better than- stock.
As for the boost limits, I have 225/45/17 tires so I don't know how this would apply to your car, but anyway. The Abbott unit had a limit of 0.8 bars in 2nd gear; the Maptun has no limit meaning 1.4+bars and guess what -the fast boost build-up of the Abbott spun the wheels while the gradual boost of the maptun program retains traction despite the much higher boost level. I don't really know how necessary low gear boost limitations are.
