Adam of 5Star explained that power in this tune is only made by adjusting fuel and timing and does not change boost targets. I think that's interesting and have asked some follow-up questions. I asked about a dyno chart and related performance details and hope to have more to share soon...

Re: Life in AZ/rural America...I really feel you on that. I am fortunate it worked out for me here, and I love having land that borders the national forest boundaries and a huge green belt. I also live off-grid from a utilities perspective. Big life milestone for me and I recommend it for...

I appreciate that, and I made a decision to get away from the "big city" and don't regret it. I'm about 30" from the nearest store of any kind. Semi-remote I suppose. Since my most recent experience was daily driving a JL Wrangler and F150, the BS BL feels incredibly car like to me. I laugh...

The factory twin scroll turbo is a wonderful pairing and surprisingly good. I was almost completely happy with it! We know a little power is left on the table, because Ford is conservative with their higher volume engine tuning. We can also see other power plant examples making more power in...

Oh yeah, my Fiesta ST was also tuned by Cobb when it was new...but that only lasted a few weeks before doing something very custom (I have the controller around somewhere still too). Speaking of that, I am a big fan of Church Automotive tuning in LA. They did amazing work on my F150 and Fiesta...

Yes. I totally agree on better drivability and JUST wrote something along those lines... I also agree the BL has surprisingly good power. The perception of that is largely due to the very short first gear, 4.69 I believe...in stock form, I have walked away from much more powerful rigs at a...

Can anyone share some basic data logging details on their stock BS BL? I'll go back to stock at some point, but I'm curious about different vehicles, areas, and conditions. Maybe max recorded boost pressure, related air intake temps, and fuel trim details to start, please. Also it would be...

Well put... Speaking of Cobb, turns out 5Star partners with them. A quick glance suggests it might only be their branded hardware and maybe some canned tunes, but I don't know. It represents another handheld programmer where applicable. I am not seeing anything for the BS/BL and the covered...

Oh it is a thing. Maybe more in the Honda VFR or BMW "clubs" but it is out there. I don't wanna hijack my own thread, but there is all kinds of funny trends/quirks with certain makes/models of cars and bikes. It is a fun reflection on the owner demographics. :)

Thanks, Bucko -- that is what caught my eye as well. I think I read it more as a new catch can should be accommodated in your tune. Maybe it is nothing, maybe there is something unique going on. It is hard to say, right? In reviewing their catalog, you can see they sell hardware to include...

I also waited to be reasonably sure my rig wasn't a dud...and I suppose I'm there now with about 12K miles...I do need to get the various LED related TSBs addressed but I'm not worried about that. Good thinking for sure. You never know, right? It is worth pointing out that any dealer must...

Speaking of dyno results, I asked specifically about the BL. The rep said the Focus 2.0 chart is the same, but I'd still like to see one for our specific application posted. *Note the use of 93 octane. https://5startuning.com/got-2013-2018-focus-st-2-0l-eb/

I had many great experiences with Cobb! They tuned a couple of my Subaru WRX cars, my VW R32/R36, and others. Their technical work was excellent. Several friends with GTRs had great things to say about them too! That was many years ago... I'm afraid they seem to be a very different company...

A couple more thoughts while I wait to hear back from 5Star support... I did some homework back in 2016 when I ordered my F150 FX4 3.5EB. I actually received the SCT X4 programmer before I took delivery of my truck (that took about six months). 5Star already had a good reputation and was...

Yep! Triumph bikes sound great and I miss my old SpeedTriple 1050! The 3 cylinder EB sounds better to me (than the 4 cylinder) but I know that isn't a popular opinion with car guys...but no doubt better IMO.

Hi all — I recently purchased and applied a “91 daily” tune from 5Star Tuning on my 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands. I have just under 12K miles on it, and this vehicle is otherwise stock from a tuning perspective. The programming was done with my SCT X4 that I originally bought for my 2016 F150...
