Purchased a 2007-2013 Mazdaspeed3 Custom Tune for my 2011 Mazdaspeed3. Goal: bolt on modifications/tuning with the stock engine and turbo. Tuned by Alejandro B.
Experience: very quick turnaround times with datalogs. Questions about the tune and modifications in general were answered fully. Even reviewed a datalog of a track lap, troubleshooting some issues noted on track day (outside the scope of the custom tune) - much appreciated! Alejandro is well versed on the Mazdaspeed platform, aware of the potential gains and issues with the COBB maps/software. Easy to chat with via e-mail.
Tune: Car started out with a flash tune for the modifications (pre-water methanol injection). Rough in lower gears, each progressive tune cleaned up the ride, increasing smoothness and power throughout the RPM range. 8 total iterations of the custom tune, including a tune with pops/crackles. Changed over from Load Based to Boost Based Tuning. Advanced timing to use the water methanol injection (Coolingmist).
Compared to the hub dynanometer, it was heartbreaking to see v1.1's v-dyno number. However, at the end of the tune, both HP and TQ had substantial gains (+68HP, +90TQ).
Excellent custom tuning experience with Alejandro @ Stratified. Very knowledgeable of the platform, and substantial gains to the smoothness and power of the Mazdaspeed3!! Highly recommended!
