Delicious Flash & GO Tunes for ALL FORCED INDUCTION Applications - Q&A

I asked a local ecutek tuner about speed density tunes and he advised against it saying they're great for high hp applications with custom intakes, but the daily driving in traffic will suck.

I'm using Delicious' boost controller (which is controlled by the tune) and their MAP sensor. The stock MAP sensor can't read above 5psi so you really have no headroom with it, and no ability to detect overboosting. I just sucked up the cost and bought them with the tune to have a proper setup. Those two components along with the tune are the only prerequisites for the 11psi I'm mapped for.

Currently these tunes are over 20 different forced induction applications not including the Innovate Supercharger package. They have been running these tunes as long as 1 1/2 years now and we even have a couple customers around the 500 whp mark who daily drive them.

We have spent a lot of time developing this Flash & Go tune and even daily drive the tune in our own daily drivers.

At a minimum to run our tune you will need our 11 PSI Map Sensor (or any larger drop in map sensor). The boost controller is optional but allows for more boost of course.

As for the dynamic boost control we have setup tables so the ECU actively changes the duty cycle of the waste gate to hit desired boost target as set by our tune. Here are some examples of where this is pertinent.

Conditions that change boost
1. Cool/Hot air temperature
2. Hot exhaust manifold from being at the track
3. Different gears equal different loads
4. Elevation changes
5. Different turbos

All this can affect the boost levels and this is why we have implemented a dynamic boost control so that we know the boost is controlled more accurately similar to what a stock Subaru STI would attempt to do.

New customers: we are shipping out orders and email tunes out today from late last week and over the weekend.

Hope that answers some questions.

you wont have any negative affects if you run a higher octane then what you are tuned for. ie running 93 oct on a 91 tune.

I've had the chance (bad luck haha) to run the dynamic boost control setup at almost 20 degrees C and 0 degrees C in the past week. Normally the boost pressure I was seeing would vary when it was cold out, but with dynamic boost control is was the same as it was at warmer temps. It's awesome.

Also, due to having no restriction in my exhaust, I was getting a slight amount of boost creep at high RPM's. That problem was also eliminated with dynamic boost control.

So is this designed to replace strapping the car down to the dyno? Or is this for those who wish to run two maps xx psi and E85?

Very good question.

This tune is designed to be a reliable solution for those that do not have access to getting their vehicle dyno tuned by a reputable tuner. It is also for those that do not want to have to wait to get tuned, just Flash & Go.

The tune itself will make power numbers expected from the forced induction kit on your vehicle, while also having a completely stock feel and smooth power delivery.

You are more than welcome to get a custom dyno tune though the EcuTeK tuner will need to start with their own map, as we do not and will not provide an open map for your tuner to start with.

FYI: we are working on a future tune with our FlexFuel Module that will allow you to customize the tune on the dyno if you like. This will be coming 2015.

If anyone has the time, I would love for a good comparison between an on dyno tune to this FNG.

I might stay with my GTX2867, on your site I can only go as high as 15psi. Can we do a little more?

Can do. So far we have the FNG tune able to go to about 22 PSI.

Hey guys,
I payed late last week setup my account and now I can't log in. Just curious
Thanks keith.

[Shit Luck]

Nevermind, I got logged in and got the file tonight.
I just need to finish my vacuum routing then it's log time...

Sweet! Looking forward to that and flex fuel.

Flash and Go tune on a JDL Turbo Kit installed by Infamous Performance. This is their first Borg Warner turbo setup. Started right up with no problems, drove it around and delivered to the customer.

@DeliciousTuning Will the electronic boost controller be of any advantage or worthwhile addition for someone who plans to just keep boost levels at wastegate pressure (referring to the AVO Stg1 kit)? Does it help control boost better at those levels, or is it only required when increasing boost above wastegate pressure?
