POWER RESULTS
| FUEL TYPE | POWER OUTPUT |
| 91 OCTANE (95 RON) | 583 600 |
| 93 OCTANE (98 RON) | 611 630 |
| TRUEFLEX ETHANOL (STANDARD OUTPUT) | 694 675 |
| TRUEFLEX ETHANOL (HIGH OUTPUT) * | 741 688 |
*TRUEFLEX HIGH OUTPUT
For drivers seeking extreme power and performance, the TrueFlex Ethanol High Output Tune unleashes exceptional power and torque gains beyond the limits of the factory head stud hardware. Due to the extreme cylinder pressures produced, the stock head studs can stretch and allow the cylinder heads to lift under boost.
To unlock the Stage 3 High Output file, upgraded aftermarket head studs are required. Please contact our customer support team to verify your engine is equipped with upgraded studs before we can enable this calibration on your POWERlink Tuner.
PURE800 TURBOS
After extensive research and hybrid turbocharger testing, iE engineers and calibrators chose the PURE800 as their first pick for kickball. iE's Stage 3 calibration, combined with its big top-end power and responsive boost with minimal lag, all wrapped up in an easy, direct bolt-in install, makes it the ultimate blend of modern vehicle tech and raw, chest-pounding performance. Turbo sold separately.
