Jailbreak + Basemap

Post by dkwon »

Hi

I just purchased a flash pro for my 2018 fk8 (haven't got it yet) and just have a couple questions...

1. I'm going to instant jailbreak, however, the garage I ordered from said to make sure that I jailbreak before I plug the unit in. I saw in the tutorials that you jailbreak when you plug the unit into the OBD port and computer. I'm a bit confused as to which way is the correct way or if there is one?

2. I have a HKS Legamax exhuast, HKS intercooler with pipingkit, and PRL HVI. I live in Canada and run 91 may contain 10% eth. Which basemap is recommended for my current build? Also, I've heard that the basemaps are a little too aggressive (youtube vids) for the not very good 91 here in Canada (Vancouver BC to be exact). Is there any specific adjustments that I can do for this?

Thank you in advance!

1. Plug in what unit? The FlashPro? You have to in order to jailbreak.
2. 91 octane - int.
Our base maps are tuned correctly. A lot of people like to post negative comments about our tuning so that it makes them look more knowledgeable.

Yes, as long as they measure the octane as the average of RON and MON.

We don't change the knock control logic, but the ECU will retard with knock. If you search you'll find a lot of reports that 94 octane fuel in Canada is about the same as 91 octane in the US, so you may be better using the 91 octane calibration.
