Map Notes for VA STI 2015 - 2018
2015-2020 STI (North American)
2015-2019 (ADM Spec).
*To confirm your model year, you can refer to the tenth value in the VIN number on the vehicle. For model year 2001-2009, the 10th value in the VIN will be the last digit of the model year. For model year 2010-2019, the 10th value in the VIN will be A-K, starting with 2010, ending with 2019.
Current Map Revision:

Accessport Firmware:
AP3-SUB-004: 1.7.4.0-17431 or greater
AP3-AU-SUB-004: 1.7.4.0-17431 or greater
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" are for use with 93 and 94 octane/98 RON fuel or better.
Maps designated with "91" are for use with 91 and 92 octane/95 RON fuel or better.
Maps designated with "ACN91" are for use with 91 octane fuel found in Arizona, California, and Nevada or better. And additionally for those in Canada, for use with 94 octane Fuel at a minimum.
Maps designated with an octane (ACN91, 91, 93) and FlexFuel are good for the labelled fuel octane, E85 and any blend in-between.
2015 - 2018 STI
Flex Fuel Gains
Hard Parts Requirements & Boost Targets
HWG: Higher wastegate duty cycles (HWG) for use when normal wastegate calibration produces lower than targeted boost (i.e. under boost).
LWG: Lower wastegate duty cycles (LWG) for use when normal wastegate calibration produces higher than targeted boost (i.e. over boost).
Non-Performance Maps:
Anti-Theft Mode
Will not allow vehicle to start
Economy Mode, Intake+Economy Mode
Boost Targets: Typically around 6psi - 12psi
Rev Limiter: 5800 RPM
Valet Mode, Intake Valet Mode
Boost Targets: Typically around 6psi - 12psi
Rev Limiter: 3200-3800 RPM
Monitoring Boost Levels:
The best way to determine if you are hitting target boost is to watch the TD Boost Error parameter. This parameter is your target boost (including altitude and temperature compensations) minus your actual boost (negative values mean you are over the target by the amount while positive values mean you are under). Ideally you want this value to be between 0 and 1.0 at wide open throttle (WOT), but -1.0 to 1.0 is acceptable assuming that you don't have any significant knock corrections. Overboosting is more likely to occur in higher gears and with colder outside temperatures, so be sure to verify boost levels during these conditions.
High Altitude:
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 target to be lower than what is listed for your map.
Boost Select:
All maps designated with "Boost Select" in the map name have a driver-controlled boost target controlled through the SI-Drive system available on the 2008+ STI. From the factory, SI-Drive will modify throttle settings and change the relation between what is done with the accelerator pedal and how the throttle blade reacts; [S#] being the most aggressive throttle settings, [S] being less aggressive, and [I] being very conservative. What we have done is take that functionality a step further. The "Boost Select" maps have selectable boost targets enabled by toggling between [S#], [S], and [I]. [S#] will target the highest boost level, [S] will be a medium boost level, and [I] will be the lowest boost level (wastegate spring pressure). You can find the specific boost targets for [S#], [S], and [I] in the Map Version Notes above.
Revision Notes:
Version # | Notes: |
---|---|
v504 | Nex Gen Maps, Version raised to make it clear that the nex gen maps are significantly different from previous stage 2 maps |
v401 | 2017 only bug fix |
v400 | This map was updated to eliminate unnecessary DTC Supression or update versions for parity with other maps/vehicles within the platform |
v350 | Revised IAT based ignition comp., boost compensations for baro., per gear, intake temp., coolant temp., revised 18 STI RA/19 STI North American spec engine calibrations. |
v347 | Minor visual updates on North American spec MY18 STI Type RA Stage1 maps. Boost Limits table update on ADM 2018 Stage1+SF 93 map only. |
v346 | Adjusted MAF calibration on North American spec MY18 STI ACN91 Stage1+SF maps only. v345 for North American spec MY 18 STI ACN91 Stage1+SF was only available for a few hours, but if you have it, please use v346 or newer instead. |
v345 | Updated boost target, limit tables to account for MY2018 OEM strategy change. |
