Gonna share an experience of mine for the community.

little did i know what i'd be getting into when i pressed this one little button. I've owned my ss/tc for about 3 days, and was perfectly happy with the 15 psi i thought it was tuned for. Tonight on the way home, i hit the traction control button twice, and all hell broke loose. Went from a casual 15 to a instant spool of 21 and rocketed my ass foreward faster than i could have believed. Hell ******* yeah, that is all.

 

......

 

.....What..?

 

Somebody doesn't know that they are trifecta tuned...

 

is that unusual? or am i being a complete and total newbie to the car...which is totally possible

 

Sorry your a newb. Your car has a switchable aftermarket tune. It's an option by trifecta tuning. Normally the competetive mode doesn't change boost levels, or tunes, at all. Pretty much normally just turns on launch control and turns down the stability control a little bit.

 

people had mentioned the car can hold two tunes, and i was kinda messing with buttons and stuff on the way home, and lo and behold lol. The car came with an intake and zzp charge piping, a buddy of mine wanted to run my VIN to see if the car had been trifecta tuned, i guess i found out the fun way huh

 

yeah you have to turn off esc to turn the tune on.

 

I bet that's exiting to find out for yourself. Lol.

 

exactly haha, nice surprise!

 

Good find....lol

 

Congrats, must have been a nice surprise. I bet you're like uhh wtf they're really not joking when they mean competitive mode... lmao

 

i had the same surprise happen to me, but my car only came with the Injen CAI.

If you want to be sure, you can email Vince at Trifecta, and he'll ask for your VIN and can verify it was tuned and when.

 

 

im gonna have to try to see if i have my car tuned already...i bought my car stock but there were signs of aftermarkets parts on it...so after work finding out if its tuned it is

 

hahaha, thats a good one!!!

robk

 

thats exactly what i thought...competitive mode? i guess we're serious about this haha

 

Yep.. trifecta tuned.. but only 21 psi? Sounds like an older milder tune.. The newer ones are around 23 and have nicer tables.. power increase is noticeable.

 

He's probably just talking about a 2nd gear punch. I'm sure he's up around 24 psi in 3rd, after 60 MPH.
