Keep in mind that you can't turn it off completely unless you're in "dyno mode" (or pull the fuses), and I have never heard of a tune that affects anything in the ESP. Also, if you did a 360, it wasn't caused by the traction control.
Don't forget, for best traction, tires have to be broken in too. You should do some normal driving before hitting the hair pins.
