I really, really, wish there was a dedicated CTD tuning section... or at least some stickies. Sans that, I have been searching through the forums and have read just about every thread on tuning for the CTD, but there are a few problems. Most of the threads get mixed up quick, and go off-topic frequently. There are even gassers talking about their Trifecta tunes and whatnot.
Here are the things I feel are most important to me, in order:
- Driveability: being able to limit turbo lag off the line, without being hard to drive
- Peak TQ/HP, but only on a driveable tune that won't be jerky, or cause excessive regens
- Good customer support/updates
- Multiple tune options
I listed "multiple tune options" last, because I am likely going to set the equivalent of a 'street' tune, and never race the car (why would I?).
From past reading (late 2014/early 2015), the Trifecta seemed like a good option, but there were a lot of people complaining about driveability, and were patiently waiting for an update that never seemed to come. I have not read anything definitive in the forums (unless I missed it) that says the driveability issues were fixed.
Finally, I'm curious about the physical differences between the tunes. Do they all have handheld tuners, or are they just a cable that you hook up to your PC? I left out the "Chip" option, because it requires you to send if your ECU/PCM... but then again, that was from a thread back in 2013, if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks in advance for any replies, and my apologies for not being able to find the answers I needed from searching.
