2014--2017 Buick Regal - 2.0L Turbo - Advantage

Well worth the purchase. The neck snapping body pinning torque makes me feel like I'm in a rocket. Just got 30 mpg on a road trip. Tires screeching upon take off. It's wonderful 

Don't Hesitate Buy It!  This is what my 2015 Buick Regal GS AWD needed from the Factory.  I can't imagine driving this car without it.  I'm glad mine is AWD the power is immediate. 

Mine is all stock no mods and I'm very impressed.  Looks like my Pontiac Solstice GXP is next......

I was on the fence about this tune for about a year, I wish I would have gotten this tune when I found it. I have the AWD trim and this tune improved my gas mileage and throttle response. 

First of all, I truly appreciate the excellent customer service, dedication, patience, and communication with Mike...

Next, on to the tune! Wow! Awesome! Absolutely a totally different shift, fuel and air map when tune on.( Cruise Off)

When cruise on, the maps are less aggressive than with cruise off, but STILL completely different than without tune (pure stock)..

With tune,...Shifts are smooth, all while the pull of torque is strong and linear..

I have never “floored it”.. and I’ve had the tune since December 2019... For driving in city and highway, I have no need.. it is neck snapping enough as I near a bit less than half down on the pedal.. In addition to coming off of a stopped red light...When cruising, and a distant red light turns green.., so now you place your foot back on the pedal...,,good Lord! ... the pull is sooooo addictive...!!

So smooth! Not jerky at all... the best way to describe it, is like a uniformly/linear tightly wound rubber band... that adjusts to the “needs” of your right foot.. lol giving you what you need, when you need it..

With the tune on, obviously the ECM and TCM tune work seamlessly in tandem, thanks to Trifecta packing them both into one single tune file.

The tune “knows” when you need/want more power/acceleration.. of course based on your right foot, and when this is the case, the engine will hold rpms longer between shifts, building and pumping boost simultaneously... not one or the other, as it is without the tune aka turbo lag. Instead with Trifecta, both happen together at the same time!  If you don’t need the additional acceleration, the engine and transmission WONT hold the rpms longer between shifts.. it will just shift like when the CC is set ON.. except with a bit more boost.

As for the little “snail” spooling!! Lol ..I love the now audible whistle of the spool.. No blow off needed for me.. I love that it sounds like a “smaller Wentworth Big Rig”.. (referring to the sound of the spooling turbo)..

Ok now on to the gas mileage.. I actually have better mpg with tune on (cc off) than with tune off (cc on).. I thing this is attributed to the way the torque converter seems to work more intelligently with tune on..(after your are off with increased boost, you are at crushing speeds sooner, and you can actually take your foot off of the gas pedal and cover/hover over the brake as necessary.

All in all, I highly recommend the tune.. why the manufacturer did not make it this way right out of manufacturing, is beyond me... lol probably related to “planned obsolescence”!

Trifecta, thanks again!

God Bless..

I looked into upgrading my 2015 GS performance wise and ran into this last year. After a little research, I pulled the trigger and purchased this tune. I am very happy with the results, better acceleration and obvious HP increase. I have a manual GS which makes it that much more fun to drive with the tune. I would definitely recommend this. 

Best thing I've bought for my buick. turbo spools up quick and much faster. Easy to flash took under 20 mins.

Nice!! easy to install, took me about 20 minutes, no issue. the difference is noticeable right away. my Regal is AWD and it feels like I have more power to the rear end and it is really fun, specialy in the snow. I always run on 91 octane gas and with the upgrade, it takes about 1 liter/100km more gas but the power upgrade totally worth it. I have about 5000km done so far and I realluy enjoy every kilometer. little hint if you're interested, I could get the Elite upgrade cheaper than the Advantage couple days after Black Friday. I bought the Advantage on Black Friday.

This is a sweet tune, and delivers everything they claim! I am very pleased with my purchase Thank You!

The tune was easy to install. I must say that it woke up the car. The Regal Sleeper is in full effect! Car runs so better thanks Trifecta!

I got the hardware on Wednesday and programmed the car last night. Big difference, the trans program alone is worth the money and tuning effort. Just wanted to say thanks for the quick turnaround. This car is a lease, but when i get a new one next year i will be looking for a tune for that one as well!

Finally decided to purchase after having my 2016 GS for 2 years. Definitely a huge improvement! Install took about 15 minutes and was super easy. Completely changed the way this car drives. It will take a while to get used to the more sensitive throttle but absolutely worth it! 

Just added the tune to the wife's car, she was very impressed. I did have to watch a video which was helpful...also cannot use with a chrome book as it does not support the software. Had an HP Windows, and it took about 20 min to load (laptop is about 3 years old). Make sure your car battery and laptop are fully charged. Would highly recommend.

I install this on my Buick Regal GS 2015.   The performance is so much better. The pedal response and acceleration  are greatly improved.
