Was able to get into some extra settings on the headunit. Was able to access usb in adb Bridge mode and waiting for a usb a to a cable and hopefully I can access the headunit from pc and install apps this way. I will create a separate post on how I was able to get in in case anybody wants to give this a shot or PM in I'll explain how
Yep I tried and you need a USB A to USB A cable to connect. It never popped up the adb authorization message on the head unit

So I drove the car last night while the temps were down and the 16.5 map definitely night and day from stock now. The car just feel so much smoother and just more engaging even just cruising. I made a mistake in the last post and thought it was a 18.5 Psi map but it is 18psi. I'm definitely getting 18psi and that map feels amazing. Makes you wish a car would just try you lol. During the day I believe my iat was around 120s which really made the car feel bogged and actually droned more. Last night IAT was around 102 with the drop in prl and the difference is noticeable when the car isn't heatsoaked. My car is lease and I don't want to go crazy but I might consider a cold air since it's an easy on off Bolton

Finally been driving on the sport mode 18.5 Psi map and feels so damn good. The best part is gas mileage has actually stayed the same where my last two trips(according to the trip computer) have been 38-40 mpg and I've been driving aggressive. I was expecting my avg mpg since I've gotten the car to go down a bit(haven't reset the trip Meter since I got the car) has been 32. Yesterday and today I've been in sport mode for my drives to work and my avg for the lifetime of the car went up to 32.5.

Finally did a 0-60 run yesterday and tried recording it using the tuner view and their drag layout but it didn't save 😔. Either way I got 6.5 seconds on their 18.5 Psi map in 90f weather. Not bad. It is very hard to launch this car and not spin tires and most of launches were in the 6.9 sec range but then I decided to get little aggressive with the launch and managed a 6.5 sec. Not sure if it's motor mounts but the car needs something in terms of better launching

Tires and a rear mount should do it. 6.5 is solid.

The tires for sure need to be changed but there's something else holding this car back. I notice that when I turn off traction it's not truly off and even the message that comes up says something like traction is limited. Found a video on how to completely disable it but didn't get a chance to do more runs. Annoyed that I recorded it but it didn't save. You get 6.5 seconds I really had to launch the car aggressively which felt like the car was going to fall apart lol. When the tires spin you can feel the power being taken away. So 1st gear power gets throttled and in 2nd gear tires spin again and power cuts back again. You can feel it in the pedal where it's almost like the computer steps in and then gives you control again. The car has more to give it just being restricted

The Advanced VSA feature can help keep traction and prevent throttle pullback.
Is the throttle dampening that you remove in the tune different from the throttle pullback you feel from traction control?

Traction control throttle control is separate from tuning. You can create a better balance with the advanced VSA feature.
Okay thats good to hear then. Hopefully that solves what I was feeling and I can get better numbers

Question. According to quick research online stock boost is at 17.9. Does the 16.5 Psi actually increase power or is the boost curve and power delivery just optimized?

Open the factory tune to see the factory targets for comparison if you'd like.

These are torque limited from the factory, so it's not just about the peak psi level it may hit in certain conditions at all. 16.5 across the board without limitations would certainly produce a much better power curve all the way through.

Thanks for the clarification. Was curious about the difference from 16.5
Psi and stock map. Either way the 16.5 feels better than stock especially on the highway and I need to pick up speed.
