Pro-Flex Tuning
United Motorsport also offers ethanol flex tuning for the Gen 4 TSI engine. This adds the ability to use any blend of ethanol with the ECU adjusting the tuning as you drive without any re-flashing required.
Cold start
Often high ethanol content fuel be difficult to start in cold weather. No cold start worries with United Motorsport Pro-Flex.
Ignition Advance
Ignition mapping is critical if you want to optimize the gains that ethanol can provide. United Motorsport software will adjust ignition advance based on the percentage of ethanol. This ensures high torque on high ethanol and safe advance when you return to lower ethanol content.
Boost limitation
The stock fuel system was not designed to meet the flow requirements when running high ethanol content and increased manifold pressure. United Motorsport software will raise or lower maximum boost to keep safely inside the flow capability of the fuel system.
Simple
No user adjustments required. Just add ethanol and go!
Included:
- UM performance software
- Ethanol sensor
- Supporting hardware, (wiring, bracket, etc.)
