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

After buying 2 plug and play obd2 performance chips, and a jet performance module. I have to say that the trifecta tune was the way to go. I feel so stupid spending all my money on billsh!t. The plug and plays did nothing, and the jet performance module while it actually did increase my cars performance it also was expensive. For 100 bucks more then jet performance module I got double the performance not to mention all the other calibrations trifecta made. For example my transmission, rev limiter, just everything. I didn’t give 5 stars just because my mpg dropped significantly. I lost about 6mpg. Plus I wish I could atleast give my car around 50 percent throttle before feeling the violence from the tune. Trifecta truly is the way to go.

Had to hold off with getting the Trifecta tune until just the right time.  But now that I've purchased and installed it, all I have to say is WOW!  This was the first time I've tuned a car, despite owning a number of cars with GM's 2.0 series of performance engines.  Trifecta made it so easy to do, between the software, the cable, and their instructions.  My 2014 Buick Regal 2.0T now drives like it should have from the factory.  The gears can be a little jittery with shifting at times, depending on how I'm driving the car, but it definitely takes off and burns rubber like the 2.0T should.  I mean, when you can keep up with a Benz on the highway?  Boo yeah!  This ain't your grandaddy's Buick!

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.

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

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..

Bought the advantage tune last month only took about 20 min to install, now its a beast quick take of even spins the wheels in second gear, made a great improvment in power, thanks trifecta for the good job on the tune.

Outstanding product in all respects .

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. 

I bought the tune about 2 years ago and just kept putting off installing the tune.WHAT A MISTAKE! I just installed it last night and got to drive it around today and it is amazing the difference it made. First gear used to be slow to take off and laggy. Now, when you hit the gas your ripping.....this is how it should come from the factory. Absolutely worth every penny!!!

Bought the trifecta tune for my 16 regal a few months ago. Didn’t actually plug it in until last night! The difference is like night and day. Product is worth buying.

What a great product. The car is so much more enjoyable to drive. I have tuned numerous vehicles over the years with handheld tuners, but Trifecta has hit a major home run with this car. This 2014 Buick Regal GS turbo is a completely different animal with the Trifecta tune. Better mileage and MUCH better response. Thanks for a great product!!!

EZ flash cable shipped asap. Great customer support system in place. My car has a K&N intake and some minor exhaust modifications. The tune complimented these modifications very nicely. The install took literally 12 or 13minutes tops. Even though the roads here in Alberta are ice and snow covered you can tell there is a huge difference in the overall driving dynamics of the car. Excited to drive the car this spring on drier roads. Highly recommend anyone interested in tuning to consider Trifecta for their vehicle. 

I purchased this tune a little while ago, and I'm utterly blown away by it. I was on the fence for quite some time (like...6 months), going back and forth on whether or not I should buy it. But let me tell you, I couldn't be happier that I did. The power change is nothing short of incredible. It really comes on in second gear--the car just pulls and pulls and the tires break free shamefully easily. After buying it, the confidence I have in my car's abilities has skyrocketed. Sure, it's great fun on long open stretches, but the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can pull away from pretty much anything short of a sports car is quite satisfying. 

If you're considering buying it, my strong opinion is that you should. This tune is a little pricier than others on the market, but I went with Trifecta because they seemed to me to be the most professional about their craft. I have no problem paying a bit more to get a product that I'm confident in, especially when it comes to something that could be damaging to the overall function of my car. However, after installing it, the car started right up and I've had zero issues with anything so far.

The one thing I haven't noticed is the increase in mileage. Now, perhaps it's because I've only been driving it for a week or so, but my mileage has stayed the same (and no, it's not because I've been lead-footing it). 

Haven't had the car on a dyno to see the numbers behind the increase, but I'm not too much into that considering this is just my daily. But the sheer feeling of being in the driver's seat is enough for me. Fantastic product, fast shipping, SUPER easy to install. Fantastic work, Trifecta.

I purchased the advantage tune for my Regal GS and the difference is  like everyone else says "night and day". The price is well justified for what you get. I look forward to future products with Trifecta. Great work guys

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

I received the calibration file after ~10 days from the initial purchase. Installing the tune was quick and easy, maybe like 15 minutes, and then started the car up. I didn't know if it was just me but I thought I could hear the difference right after turning the key, it was louder and seemed more to life. Of course then I took it for a joy spin and like the Trifecta guys said the power was a lot more linear than stock and you could tell right away. After it warmed up, I took it to a long straight away and floored it... was super stoked on how well the car accelerated from when it was stock, definitely put a big smile on my face. You can hear the turbo and the car sounds great, I would recommend this tune to anyone. For the noticeable additional power, it's well worth the money. Customer support was great also to talk with too. Thanks Trifecta!

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.

I purchased this tune earlier this week and it arrived on Thursday afternoon, very timely. I tried to install it using a coworkers PC and it didn't go through and I got very nervous and was questioning my decision regarding the purchase of this tune. So I went to Office Max and bought a $300 cheap PC with Windows 10 on it, went home, booted it up and ran the program. 30 minutes later I'm up and running and heading to the gas station to fill up. Even simply going to the gas station through my regular route put a smile on my face. The sound has changed, the turbo reacts differently, the throttle is more responsive, the shift points are smoother and so much more. I only got to drive it very briefly tonight but I am looking forward to going into work tomorrow morning, something happens very rarely. If you are on the fence about purchasing this product, hop on down and hit these guys with the credit card and never look back. They are highly professional and will answer any and all questions in a timely manner. Thanks TRIFECTA for turning my fun little grocery getter into a sleeper of the streets. Can't wait to put a CAI in this baby.

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!

This tune was fantastic!!! It was easy to install and easy to remove when needed. It completely changed the way my car drove. I would recommend this tune to anyone.

Great Tune!!!!! Great Service!!!!!

I bought this tune a couple of months ago and I must say it's the best performance mod I've ever purchased. The difference is immediately noticeable; accelerates quicker, shifts are smoother and power feels linear. My fuel economy increased from 20MPG to 22.9MP (I have a heavy foot!). I would highly recommend this for anybody that plans to keep their vehicle for a while, it will make you feel you just purchased a new vehicle. By the way, I would like to commend the customer support as they were very quick to answer any questions before I made my purchase.
