With tuners new website first thing I saw on there was this.

Anyone running this? Or have any experience tuning it etc. On here yet?

If so what are your experiences? What have you heard?

Seems cheap to do to the new car since its already full V3 with the speed density

the problem is it does not integrate boost with the fuel difference so you would still need to keep a close eye on the tune if my thinking is correct.

I saw someone post that issue but never got a response. Would be nice since the car I'm currently flying out to look at has the boost controlled by the link now.

i still don't believe link will automatically choose a safe boost level for you but I've also never ran boost control with link. now if you can set boost per min and max octane tables and the flex sensor chooses the table that could be something that would help for sure. Even so depending on how the car is tuned it could still be very dangerous to just assume its all taken care of. The only thing it does imo is test the fuel for you so you don't have to text with a tester, but you will still need to tune or drive accordingly

Yep.. ecmlink of they can get the boost setup will almost be just likely proefi. But at like 1/5th the cost

this will obviously benefit those who do not mess with their tunes much

I'll be using it shortly, I was asking for it about three years ago. I'm not so worried about boost levels as I can change that if needed, I just like the interpolation between the two maps because E85 is rarely actually E85.

Hopefully boost control with the map switch is in the works..


Im going to be using my wife's laptop for the ride home. But I really need to get my own so I can teach myself all the features. My old car i had the laptop running everytime i got I into it.

I have everything at my house to do it. I’ll get around to putting it on soon. If anything I’m just going to use it to log the content. For how much I drive the car and how much my fuel constantly changes it will be very handy for me. No more testing it with a tester every time I want to get the car to its potential.

^ that's basically what it's handy for IMO, I'm pretty sure it's not going to be able to control your boost for you, but I don't know either. For me by the time it's in your car it's a little late for testing if you were say hoping to go to a track etc. I think it is very cool and can be used as a tool for sure. For me it really doesn't make sense, but to some this is the best thing ever
