Thumbs up *** Boost/Torque by Gear (% Reduction) - New Map Configuration option - bootmod3 ***

Hey guys, this one's been in the works for some time and we're happy to release it with the 0.10.029 system update.

Many of you can attest to being very hard to effectively put down power even with a Stage 1 OTS map even after going with great tires and setting up suspension and alignment right. We've come up with a simple and easy to use way to help you reduce boost (torque) for any given gear so you can better put it down. 1st and 2nd gear are most often the ones that need some help but we've exposed gears 1-6 for it. Some may even use it to create a low boost map using it as a simple boost tuner

Update is up on bootmod3.net and the Android app store has the update. iOS version is in review as usual and hopefully live in the App Store in the next 24-72hrs.

Let us know if any questions at all

That's rad! I'm still a little on the fence about which tune I want to go with. You guys keep adding great features which make it very enticing. Is this tune something that could easily be removed prior to servicing or selling?

That's great to hear. Thanks for the input.

Did it require unlocking of the DME?

Are you able to do a Stg 1 with low torque?
Or would that be like a GTS tune?
What is the hp and torque numbers for gts map?

I am stage 2 93 OTS and was spinning on a 40 punch with the stock continental tires. I changed to pilot sport 4s stock sizes non-zcp and I no longer spin on 40 punches.

Invest in some pilot sport 4s for sure!

Its awesome that there is no extra charge for this feature. I tuned my truck and the tuner charged extra money for -off road, high idle, and engine brake.

So this is something that you can add to an existing OTS tune?

Not to Hijack but,

When I flash a new map instead of the quick flash it is taking the full 5 min or so. I am assuming it is trying the DME unlock as well?

How can I bypass this and just do a regular flash/map switch?

Thanks

Reach their tech support. You’re probably doing something to cause that maybe.
