I could be over looking something and I'm happy to do what ever I can to figure it out. I could see the tip-in being tuning, I don't see how the hesitation issues would be tuning related, for me anyway.
I went from the 94170015 rom on the wiki download page to the tephra patched rom. Only changes from "stock" rom at first was the idle RPM. I'm running low boost and the car runs WOT without any knock so I haven't bothered tuning the car. It's just part throttle that is the issue.
No tip-in knock on the stock rom that I was able to datalog, tip-in knock on the tephra rom before and after the changes to try and eliminate the knock. No hesitation on the "stock" rom, hesitation after the patched rom.
I'll see if I can snag a few datalogs from the patched and unpatched roms. It could even be some form of mechanical noise doing it. Without the knock light feature on the Tephra mod, I wouldn't even notice the retard and it literally only sets off a knock count of 1 for 1 sample on a datalog when it flashes the CEL. (which is odd because I have the light set to a knock count of 2).
Just to be clear though, I'm not blaming anybody. Just trying to offer feedback on a free patch (elective donation) for the factory ECU that I find very helpful. I definitely don't mean to blame tephra for any issues. Just going off this little guy.

No blame being laid here, just trying to get to the bottom of it. Who better to confirm its NOT the patch coding than the creator himself right? 
There are tons of times during beta testing that we';ll simply tell these guys its having a funky issue and within a day or so they usually come back with "I found the problem, try this version instead."
If its my tune, so be it. I will track down a stock 0015 rom so I can datalog the 2 versions and see if there is any change.

Never had the issue before just the other day I switched to 5.10 and put in the map to maf patch from evoready and bez to get my car to idle again.
I have noticed that at part throttle cruise I have some knock popping up. Granted I just realized that my knock threashold is at 80 but I have never seen the knock cell do a fast blink (8) before this.
Guess I can go back to my old 008

For me its not going lean, kinda during the transition from closed loop to open. It drops immediatly to 12.0 and then lowers to 11.5. Its Just weird knock. and I pulled more timing and it seemed to do it less. I guess for me it was my tune most likely. I can't really compare it to anything because this is the first ROM my car has been tuned with. It always happens more often with 2nd than with 3rd or 4th.

Sorry, I had the 94170008 ROM that XXXXXXXXX tuned when I bought the car or I would be happy to send you a stock one. Is this a known stock ROM?

If you want to see some horrible tuning though, I can send the rom that was in my car when I bought it.
