Question, with the use of the sport mode, could you do a dual tune?

sport mode off, you'd be in eco mode for 87 octane for gas mileage.

sport mode on, high HP mode for 91 octane.

Was the previous years a 3 or 2.5 map sensor? I am hearing its a 2.5 which is still good to about 22 psi. R u sure the 15 is only a 2?

Default Can we upgrade the MAP sensor?

Is it possible to retrofit the computer?

Maybe ford is doing that for warranty reasons. Would be much easier to tell if you had it tuned if the fuel pump and map sensor was changed. That way they wouldn't have to fix anything under warranty if something were to break

Livernoise, you guys are awesome! Thank you for the information. I have enjoyed my setup from you for the last year and a half. It is disappointing to hear about the changes on the 2015. I have a 2012, but just ordered a 2015 and am looking forward to your tune!

Can you guys change the transmission map back to the 13/14's? These 15's hold gears down to like 1000rpm and it drives me nuts. The engine shutters being in to low of a gear.

The modes will still function as they do today, but these get their best mileage on premium, so keeping Eco mode on 91 would net better fuel economy. Also, its far to easy to forget what mode you're in vs what fuel you have.

They were indeed a 3 bar before, and now a 2 bar. I've confirmed with our calibration department.

The computer is not the problem. The parts on the engine are. There might be a solution for both of these areas soon though.

Transmission shifting is always part of our upgraded calibration. If you'd like this tweaked, we definitely could do so.

Will I'll be waiting. I want a sct livewire tuner with a mount for mine. Should I be running premium even on my stock tunes?

Per the comments they just made about Eco's returning better MPG on premium I would say yes.

We will not be supporting SCT, only our MyCalibrator tuning device. But yes, these are always best on premium.
