2015 2.0T ATS AWD Auto 91 Octane tune
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2015 6:18 pm
I'm a newbie to the Diablosport community. All of my past experience has been with a Stage 3 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo and a stage 2 2002 Corvette Z06.
The stock 2.0T is a respectable powerplant but, simply pales in comparison to my 2010 335i. Now, before I get flamed on my first post, I realize that any comparison to the turbo 6 in the 335i is unfair but, given the weight difference between the 2 cars and 5 years of engine evolution, I thought it would be closer.
Now, after uploading the conservative 91 Octane tune on my new 2015 2.0T ATS, I can say I'm blown away. The throttle tip in is now on par with the 335i. That is a major feat and where we do 95% of our driving. Cools stuff.
As to the rest of the power curve, I can't believe that GM left so much on the table. I'm glad that I went with the 2.0T over the 3.6, just based on the flexibility of the platform, to materially transform with something as easy as a remapping of the ECU.
At any rate, the combo of the 2.0T and Diablosport is the best bang for the buck out there. Now, I just can't wait to get the updated InTune with support for my TCM. The tranny can definitely use a shift profile with a bit more conviction.
- Peace
