The Options
Added Parts:
Bolt-on parts such as intakes, exhausts, intercoolers, and blow-off valves/by-pass valves are included in the base price. Only WMI kits have an added cost. WMI setups come with complimentary Datalog Refinements at no extra charge.
Fuel Configuration (SWITCHABLE):
Unique fuel types and mixtures such as race gas, octane booster, etc. will require a ProTune.
We take advantage of the COBB AP's map switching utility allowing you to select from up to 5 different map slots using COBB Map Switching. Each TUNE FILE from us contains UP TO 5 MAP SLOTS (not all may be used). MAP SLOTS are SWITCHABLE on the fly using your Accessport or Cruise Control buttons while TUNE FILES need to be FLASHED in the Accessport menu.
SINGLE FILE - One tune file containing either ONLY pump gas or ONLY E30 mixture.
- Example: SINGLE FILE: 91 (slot 1) & 93 (slot 2)
Tune 1:
Slot 1 – Performance Map 91
Slot 2 – Performance Map 93
Slot 3 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
Slot 4 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
Slot 5 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
**SPARE MAP SLOTS are RESERVED for 5-Way Map Features
SEPARATE FILES - Two separate tune files; one containing ONLY pump gas and the other ONLY E30 mixture.
- Example: SEPARATE FILES: 91 (slot 1) & 93 (slot 2) || E30 Mix (slot 1)
Tune 1:
Slot 1 – Performance Map 91
Slot 2 – Performance Map 93
Slot 3 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
Slot 4 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
Slot 5 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
Tune 2:
Slot 1 – Performance Map E30
Slot 2 – SPARE MAP SLOT**

Slot 4 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
Slot 5 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
**SPARE MAP SLOTS are RESERVED for 5-Way Map Features
SINGLE COMBO FILE - One tune file containing BOTH pump gas and E30 mixture.
- Example: SINGLE COMBO FILE: 91 (slot 1) & 93 (slot 2) & E30 Mix (slot 3)
Tune 1:
Slot 1 – Performance Map 91
Slot 2 – Performance Map 93
Slot 3 – Performance Map E30
Slot 4 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
Slot 5 – SPARE MAP SLOT**
**SPARE MAP SLOTS are RESERVED for 5-Way Map Features
5-Way Map Features (SWITCHABLE):
SWITCHABLE on the fly.
These will be applied to the SPARE MAP SLOTS you have remaining on your tune as a result of choosing your specific Fuel Configuration. A summary of your slot configuration will be sent with the tune.
Low Boost: We set up a low-power (15 psi) map in a spare map slot for winter/poor conditions/limp home.
Eco Mode: We reduce boost to spring pressure for fuel economy.
Valet Slot: With great power comes great responsibility. In this mode, the primary rev limiter is set to 3,000 rpm and limits boost to 10 psi.
Anti-Theft Slot: In this mode, the car will start for a second and then very quickly shut off. *** If selected this will always be in the last SPARE MAP SLOT***
Example 1:
- 5-Way Map Features: Valet + Anti-Theft
- Fuel configuration: SINGLE COMBO FILE: 91 (slot 1) & 93 (slot 2) & E30 Mix (slot 3)
Resulting map slot configuration:
Slot 1 – Performance Map 91
Slot 2 – Performance Map 93
Slot 3 – Performance Map E30
Slot 4 – Valet
Slot 5 – Anti-Theft
Example 2:
- 5-Way Map Features: Valet + Anti-Theft + Low Boost
- Fuel configuration: SINGLE COMBO FILE: 91 (slot 1) & 93 (slot 2) & E30 Mix (slot 3)
Resulting map slot configuration:
Not enough map slots. Please contact us about adjusting your selection.
Extra Options (NON-SWITCHABLE):
CANNOT be switched via map slots on the fly. APPLIES TO ALL MAP SLOTS.
Custom Shift Lights: Currently the shift lights are programmed for optimal fuel economy. This option allows you to either set your shift light to turn on at a certain RPM or you can disable it completely! Specifics will be asked in the tuning form after you place an order.
2nd Gear Torque Limit: Want more traction in 2nd gear? We can limit the torque for you here so that you don't burn through your tires!
Idle RPM Change: We can also change your idle RPM. This is particularly useful if you're running stiffer motor mounts to eliminate unwanted vibration during idle. Specifics will be asked in the tuning form after you place an order.
STuned Crackles (NON-SWITCHABLE):
CANNOT be switched via map slots on the fly. APPLIES TO ALL MAP SLOTS.
This feature adds crackling/burbling sounds to your exhaust when lifting off the throttle and coasting down in gear. The frequency and intensity of the sounds highly depend on your current engine speed during lift-off and most importantly: YOUR EXHAUST SETUP. Progressive crackles have a mild intensity. Most people prefer the Loud crackles.
When purchased a separate TUNE FILE is sent containing the crackles.
This additional TUNE FILE can be used to Enable/Disable crackles or switch between crackle intensities. You must reflash from your original tune to the additional tune and vice versa.
** We have not tested all exhausts for sound quality. During testing, we found that exhaust gas temperatures have stayed relatively the same and catalytic converter temperatures had no significant increase compared to having no crackles. However, the exhaust as a whole does experience higher intensity sound/pressure waves.**
STuned Traction Control:
Can be enabled/disabled using the Accessport menu. The intensity (or mode) of the traction control can be customized to your liking using your Accessport. KEEP IN MIND THE SYSTEM WILL REVERT BACK TO 'OPTIMAL' MODE 1 EVERY TIME YOU START YOUR CAR.
The guys and gals at COBB have implemented an ignition retard traction control system. The OEM traction control works based on applying the brakes and closing the throttle. The COBB system works by reducing output via ignition timing reduction when wheel slip is detected. It is a slick system and it works all the time while enabled on a tune. More about it here.
To further enhance the Stratified driving experience, we have refined this system by making our very own STuned Traction Control calibration.
- Allows for the perfect amount of slip allowing the driver to modulate their pedal input without too much intrusion from the ECU
- Proven to maintain adequate traction while keeping the driving experience exciting
- Perfect for rainy seasons and clean launches

Datalog Refinement:
Purpose:
- Enhance the performance of your Flash Tune IF AND ONLY IF there is leeway or headroom, OR make adjustments based on datalogs to ensure your car operates safely with your local fuel and particular environment using a SINGLE tune iteration.
- To report if there are any issues and make suggestions on how to correct them (swapping parts, repairing leaks, changing fuel)
- If your car runs optimally on your local fuel or a particular environment, you will receive a full report on its performance.
** DISCLAIMER **: ALL CHANGES WILL BE BASED ON THE DATALOGS RECEIVED AND OUR EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE (THIS MEANS THAT WE WILL EITHER INCREASE PERFORMANCE OR MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR ENGINE SAFETY). AS SUCH, WE CANNOT AND WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT PERFORMANCE WILL ALWAYS BE ADDED.

Datalog Refinement Update:
This allows us to import any changes based on a previous Datalog Refinement to your new updated tune. Please ensure to enter the correct order number associated with the Datalog Refinement that you want your updated tune to be based on.
Misc. Features:
To maximize the utility of your Stratified Flash Tune we include several setup preferences to suit your needs. These include:
Flat Foot Shifting: Allows you to shift without lifting off of the accelerator pedal. Specifics will be asked in the tuning form after you place an order.
Launch Control Settings: We can set up different launch control RPMs in Performance Map Slots. Both Fuel Cut and Throttle Cut Launch Control are included and set at the same RPM. Street tire cars have this set up between 2500 and 3500 RPM. Specifics will be asked in the tuning form after you place an order.
Fault Code Adjustments: We can adjust any non-emissions related check engine light codes that may arise from modifications.
