    Warning

    We've noticed a few simple issues can cause flashing your car to fail so it's critical to watch out for these problems.

    • A 10-12 amp battery charger

    is 
    • is CRITICAL to keep the voltage stable when flashing, if the voltage goes too low it can cause the flash to fail or brick the module.

    • If your key's battery gets low and dies or you walk away, the key can become disconnected from the car and cause the ECU to lose flash mode.

    • Make sure to disable bluetooth on your cellphone as the process in which it connects to the stereo can also cause the flash to fail

    Fuel Requirements:

    Each map lists the minimum required octane. A higher octane fuel can be used safely on a map designed for lower octane. DO NOT use maps designed for higher octane with lower octane fuels. Top Tier gasoline should be used where available.

    • Maps designated with "

    93
    • 91 OCT or 95 RON " are for use with 

    93 
    • 91 and

    94 
    • 92 octane/95 RON fuel or better.

    • Maps designated with "

    91
    • 93 OCT or 98 RON" are for use with 

    91 and 92 octane
    • 93 octane/98 RON fuel or better.

      • 94 octane with 0% Ethanol should run the ACN91 Map.

    Note

    Running 0% Ethanol Fuels

    These maps are designed for E10 fuel (fuel with 10% ethanol content). For those who only have access to E0 fuel (fuel with 0% ethanol) it is recommended to use the "91" and "ACN91" octane

    version

    If you are unfamiliar with how to datalog using the Accessport or what to look for, you can find a guide on our website here
     

    If knock or detonation is present even when using the appropriate fuel, try reflashing a map that is intended for a lower octane fuel.

    High Altitude



    Revision Notes: 

    A quick note for those of you that live at higher altitudes: it is common for turbocharged cars at higher altitudes to run less boost pressure due to lower air pressure and air density. Your turbocharger has to work harder to compress a less dense air mass compared to the same turbocharger at sea level. This must be factored in when determining if your turbocharger is running the proper amount of boost pressure and not being pushed beyond its efficiency range. 
    Example: If you live in Denver at 5280 ft. and are trying to run a peak boost pressure of 15 psi, your turbocharger has to work the equivalent of making ~17.5 psi at sea level.
    There are barometric compensations within the factory ECU that lower boost targets as you climb in altitude in an effort to keep the turbocharger in its optimal range. The COBB performance maps utilize these compensations and therefore, it is perfectly normal for the final boost / load value to be lower than what is listed for your map.
