I’m looking for a good tune for my 2011 Cruze LT (1.4T). Any recommendations? I want to purchase one from a reliable company, as I’ve never had a vehicle tuned before. I’ve read multiple reviews on BNR and Trifecta, but I haven’t seen anything from recent dates (no reviews from anyone in 2021). I tried contacting both for possible help, and have gotten no answer back. Are they still marketing tunes? I don’t want to spend $300+ (depending on company/tune) to not get a tune. Anyway, let’s dig into the details. I have no idea what I am looking for in a tune, I just want more power, while keeping the same reliability of my Cruze. I’d like the tune to allow the speed limiter to be removed if possible, or reset to a higher value (I was thinking 125mph). Id also like to push more boost, I was thinking 20psi if it is safe for the stock internals/turbo (from my knowledge it is) Now, I just need advice on who to purchase from (yes, I know, ultimately it is my decision), and how actually RECEIVING and LOADING the tune works (I’ve heard there’s a base tune that you datalog and send back for any needed adjustments, then load an updated tune they email you and you're good to go?) Basically, I need someone who knows EXACTLY what tuning Cruzes entails, to describe what I need to do, who to purchase from, what information to include, etc.
Under the hood mode are as follows:
ZZP Performance Cold Air Intake
Forge Motorsports Atmospheric BOV

Thanks in advance!

All of the tuning companies (BNR, Trifecta, ZZP, and Vermont Tuning) do great work. You really can't go wrong with any of them. They're all been tuning Cruzes since 2011 and other vehicles for longer than that.

Check this thread I got my tune this spring and a couple months ago updated after bigger turbo and injector install

Thank you both! I decided to go with Vermont Tuning after reading the reviews
