2016--2019 Chevrolet Cruze / Cruze Hatch - 1.4L Turbo - Advantage

I've been loving this tune. The stock programming is lazy and sloppy for both the engine and transmission. Reaching way too far for downshifts, weird boost building, lazy shifts that take so long you'd think it was damaged. This tune fixes all that non sense. The best part is the torque output increase is really substantial, my DWS06s are having a hard time hooking up now from a dead stop. I drove GM 3800 S/C and non S/C cars for years and this tune really makes me feel more at home driving again. I've named the button to disable the tune the "sad mode button" now.

Support is great too, even if you think your question is dumb they will answer and explain themselves / the issue. Installation is really easy, after you do it once you'll wonder why you were worried about it in the first place.

I installed it this morning. It's quite cold but the installation went through quick enough so I didn't freeze to death. Anyway I could feel the difference and switching from stock to tune was easy and verified the change. 

Exactly as advertised...  As so many others have stated, this makes the Cruze perform the way GM "should" have built it.

This tune won't turn the car into a high performance machine, but it will put the fun back into driving it - putting a smile on your face.

A must have - great work on Trifecta's part.

(if only they could fix the horrible gear ratios in the manual trans - such tall gearing for fuel economy kills it - with this tune and the right gearing you could truly make a hot hatch out of this car).  Oh well - still fun to drive now.

I can not believe what a difference this calibration made to my Cruze! In just a few minutes it went from a mild-mannered gas saver to a car that is incredibly fun to drive. Everything feels different, from the throttle response to the torque, it feels like a completely different car than what I left the dealership with. My fuel economy averages slightly better when driving normally, and the local youngsters with mustangs and Camaros hate what it can do from a stop light. Trifecta's customer support is excellent! If you are on the fence about a calibration, do it! You will be amazed at what your Cruze can do!

Awesome tune. Never thought there would be that much of an increase of power to my 2016 Cruze. Night and day difference. And the support is excellent. Every question I had they answered quickly.

Had a ‘15 Cruze with Trifecta Mod, couldn’t live without it with that small motor. Went to a 2.0 Malibu and ran stock, the car was amazing. Traded it back to an ‘18 Cruze RS Redline and really missed the power of the 2.0. Compared to the first Cruze stock, the new LE2 motor performed better, but really not enough to make it enjoyable.

Purchased Trifecta Mod for the new ‘18 1.4t Cruze and — wow! Not the performance of the 2.0 Malibu, but definitely how this car should be from factory. Passing on 2 lane roads, not a problem. Highway/ On-ramp acceleration - not a problem. I still believe we can get more out of this motor with a stock setup, but I understand Trifecta peeps have their reasons for not maxing the boost out.

If you’re debating or looking into the benefits of this mod, stop. Buy it, you won’t regret it. Your Cruze will feel “confident” on the road.

I truly like this tune. My Cruze drives and performs much better. I had to obtain the services of a computer guy in order to install the tune, but it was well worth the effort and the modest added cost.

I think my fuel mileage is at least as good as stock, maybe little better, but I'm using 93 octane gas. The added power is really remarkable and I assume this is because the car is turbocharged and the boost is higher with the tune. Shifting is much improved and optimized for performance. Throttle response is crisp and predictable. I now have complete confidence in the car when I need to merge into traffic or pass another vehicle. No more hoping for a proper downshift or worrying about the car missing a beat when I step on the accelerator to accelerate after the auto stop was engaged.

I really liked my Cruze before the tune, primarily because of the great fuel economy, the roomy interior (for a compact car), and its good looks. Now the car is really fun to drive and that is a real plus. Now I REALLY like my Cruze. I always look forward to driving the car now that it performs so well.

I heartily recommend this tune to those who enjoy a vehicle that is fun to drive.

I never really loved my Cruze too much because there was always just something missing when driving it daily to and from work. It was just a bit of a boring driver. Very mediocre power, lazy responses from the gas pedal and transmission. Then come the purchase of the Trifecta tune and MY "tune" about the Cruze has definitely changed. The tune has definitely woken the car up. Before I constantly felt like I wished the car had more power, especially in scenarios where I needed to pass someone,or merge into traffic, or entering the highway. Post tune, I no longer have any driving scenarios where I feel like I NEED more power out of the car. The power is just there, and it comes on early, and it comes on strong. The 3,000 to 4,000 RPM range is especially strong on the car after the Trifecta tune. It will put a smile on your face and is hands down the best bang for your buck upgrade. The flashing process was easy, the customer support and response times were also quick. I never went more than 24 hours before hearing back for any suggestions, questions, or concerns. Great work on this new tune for the 2016+ Cruze, I'm a fan! I run nothing but 93 octane in my Cruze and recommend that anyone else do too for best performance. I really don't think anyone would regret applying this to their Cruze. So far I have over 300 miles on the tune and loving it. The only negative I can give is that it takes a little bit to get used to the difference in how the car drives. I keep finding myself excessively speeding because it gets up to speed so much quicker.

AWESOME,

I bought another great tune for my new car. This added a degree of power and certainty makes the car more fun to drive and a better merger on the freeway. The shift points are better as well and doesn't feel like it is confused anymore. I would recommend this wholeheartedly. My MPG has gotten slightly better over stock. Of course if hitting the pedal hard you may lose a bit, but much more fun. I do run 91 or better octane but I do this in all of my turbo cars. As always the support is outstanding and my questions are answered quickly. I will use these guys again and would think after trying this you will too!! Thanks for an amazing product .

Took me a while to bite the bullet and do what I said I was gonna do since I found out about this tune. But now that it's done, I'm glad I did. Throttle response, transmission response, and power throughout the band are significantly improved over the factory tune. I feel like this is what should've come from the factory. Having the Cruze Premier trim (and wider tires than the others,) I don't chirp them like some people claim, but there is a noticeable difference in acceleration at all throttle positions. The difference between factory tune and this one is night and day. 

This tune has substantially increased the love I have for my Cruze. I have had this tune for approximately a year now and driving it as my daily has been the most fun. The speed and pep that my Cruze has gained makes it so much fun to drive. The auto-start/stop feature delete is amazing so I never feel like I'm immobile, especially stop and starts on the interstate.

I've only asked for assistance with their support once and they made sure to helped me to the best of their ability in a very quick manner.

The cost can't be matched for this flash tune giving me more than I could ask for.

This is a good product and delivered exactly as the description explained it would. That cruise control button will get a little more use now.
