2011--2015 Chevrolet Cruze - 2016 Cruze Limited - 1.4L Turbo Advantage

Adds stupid amounts of power considering there are zero mods to my car!  It drives like a totally different car now, smooth, immediate shifting, and I'm getting well over 30mpg when I was, at best averaging 26.1mpg previously.  You can have your cake and eat it, too!

I'm so glad I bought this tune, no problems installing is, you really feel the diference, you don't have to beg the tran to upshift when in the highway. The only thing is on midrange situations from 2nd to 3rd, where you don't want it to shift at 2k rpm but don't need it to go up to 4k rpm it kind of floats aaaaand then it shifts, kind of annoying; now I don't know if that is the nature of the slugshomatic or what. I'll say is quite useful on the highway and when you need to rush away but in traffic, I switch it to normal as I feel the shifting points are more adequate.

I am very happy with my advantage tune, it really wakes the car up.  The throttle feels much more responsive under all conditions and it pulls so much better on the highway without lag.   The shifts on my automatic are much firmer and quicker too.     I have a 2012 with the only mod being the cruzekits v2 pcv fix kit. 

I bought this calibration to fix the janky shifting of my stock Chevy Cruze. I was extremely pleased to find the tune completely smoothed out the shifting and the car feels much more comfortable. The car no longer hesitates when changing from low to high speed or high to low speed and does not throw me forward in my seat. To add to this, the performance gains are much higher than I expected them to be. My Cruze feels like a completely different car. I have no idea why the stock tune on the Chevy Cruze was so bad but trifecta did a wonderful job fixing it. The tune was very easy to install and only took a couple of minutes. Trifecta support was extremely helpful and always answered my questions completely in an incredibly fast manner. While I cannot speak to the quality of the other tunes, I can say Trifecta is an incredibly easy and professional company to work with that made this process go very smoothly. 300 dollars is certainly a lot of money to spend on a Chevy Cruze but I can say with confidence it is worth it if you plan on keeping the car for a decent amount of time. Overall I have zero complaints with Trifecta and I would recommend the Cruze tune to practically anyone who has the money. 

I have been using Trifecta since 2011 and the team has never let me down! The guy's at Trifecta have tuned two Cruze's and one Chevy SS and all my cars have performed as described!

Can't fault their work, and customer service is fantastic! If you are thinking of buying a second hand 1.4 lt turbo Cruze, do this calibration mod! You will not regret spending the money!!

Thanks again Trifecta, love your work!

Trifecta is the best thing that I have added to my 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. Completely different car now and very happy with the performance gains. Shift points are perfect and I noticed a great improvement in fuel economy as well. Highly recommend this tune, even before trying any bolt on engine parts. The tune is a game changer. Trifecta did what Chevy should have. Made the Cruze fun to drive! Great work guys!

If GM had put this tune in the car from the beginning, they would have sold a ton of these. This is my wife's car and I drive it occasionally. But I couldn't stand the disconnected feel between the accelerator pedal and the engine. Put the tune in and this is now a fun car to drive. 

Wow is all I got to say! If your on the fence about this tune DON'T be. The customer service is top notch, they are very prompt about replying to emails and are very helpful with all the questions and concerns you have! Just flashed the car this morning and the difference is night and day! On sport mode the car starts to break the tires loose in 1st and 2nd gear and has so much more acceleration! In stock mode the car is doggy like it was factory. This car will be a lot more fun to drive now, thanks trifecta! Also the only modification to the engine is a aem cold air intake.

Definitely worth dropping money on this tune. I was definitely skeptical when when deciding for going for a tune, especially because it'd cost me around $450 CDN, but man; the difference this tune makes is incredible! The increase in power is noticeable right away and the car actually pulls really hard, especially from first to third gear. Driving on the highway is a completely new experience and I'm amazed at how responsive the throttle is at highway speeds. A gentle tap makes the car go and I literally never have to floor it to merge or overtake someone. 

In terms of support and service; I ordered the tune from Toronto I got the OBD2-wire in two business days which was faster then I expected. All my questions were answered promptly and I was sent my calibration two days after I sent them my transmission info. I'm definitely very happy with the service I received. 

Overall, this car feels like completely new vehicle, always puts a smile on my face, and Trifectia is a great company to work with. 

The difference this upgrade makes is night and day. If you're planning on safe city/highway driving, this throttle tune is worth it for the extra throttle response for safe passing and merging. You'll gain a lot more initial torque from a complete stop to the point you'll induce wheel spin (which is impressive on a tiny motor such as this!). If you want a cost effective means of gaining quicker acceleration without having to spend money on expensive parts, this is a good alternative.

My only concern is long term usage after applying the tune upgrade. I'm uncertain of the extra load the turbo, transmission & engine incur since these parts weren't specifically optimized for throttle tunes such as this. I'd keep this in mind. Don't give too much gas (as there will be no need to once the Trifecta tune is applied) to the pedal. Remember that the car you're tuning wasn't built with this type of upgrade in the minds of its creators. Nevertheless, you won't be disappointed.

Drive safe please!

So I learned 2 things tonight after installing the tune, I need new tires AND brakes. I broke the tires at WOT at 30mph on drying pavement and I have never done that on even wet pavement, thank you guys so much the wife will love how easy it is to pass people. Before when we wanted to pass we had to put the car in the "semi-automatic" mode and downshift when we were ready to pass. now hitting the gas it downshifts quickly. 

This feels just as quick as my 2001 Monte Carlo SS but since its lighter it's a bit more squirrely 

Thank you guys very much 

I've had my Trifecta Advantage tune in my 2012 Cruze since October of 2015 my car has 136,000 miles on it and over 70,000 has been with the Trifecta tune. I am impressed with the amount of power gain there has been with the tune. No more downshifting up hills , when you give it throttle to pass it gets up and goes. Transmission shifting is faster and at better shift points. If I was to buy another Cruze  this would be the very first thing I would do to it or any car Trifecta tunes. It really makes the car fun to drive you can really feel the power gains,  like when you push the throttle to the floor and run down an on ramp that little 1.4L just giving you all that power it should of from the factory all day long. I am very happy with my purchase and don't regret it one bit ! 

I'm gonna be very honest here with my review. If I see a tune that is too good to be true I normally dont buy it, but I had to try the Trifecta tune. I can honestly say I'm very glad I did. The difference between stock and tuned is night and day. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't of tried it. I can say, I wont be returning back to stock anytime soon lol. I love this product and I'll let all of my friends know to get it asap. Thanks Trifecta for giving my Cruze RS some power!!

Very happy with the product easy to use and has been used for about a year. I highly recommended this company and will say their costumer service is very helpful ... great price very cool thanks a lot trifecta

I cannot believe the improvement this tune has had on my Cruze. It was incredibly easy to install with zero issues whatsoever. I would recommend this to anyone who owns a Cruze regardless of wether or not they cared about the extra performance. The gas savings I have received, when I’m not on a spirited drive, has more than covered the cost. My Cruze drives so much smoother than it did before. I no longer struggle to get up to speed on the freeway, or climb up large hills. The performance improvements have been phenomenal. The throttle response is a lot more precise. The acceleration is significantly increased. The shifts are smoother and faster. It’s much easier to break traction if desired. I had read every review on the website and couldn’t believe what everyone was saying until I got it myself. All of the reviews I had read were true. If The tune completely blew me away. If you are on the fence about buying this, don’t wait any longer. You will regret the time you could have had this tune, but decided to wait like I did. Don’t be like me. Do yourself a huge favor and buy it. You will NOT regret it. I would rate this 6/5 stars if I could.

I have been driving my eco cruze with this tune for nearly a week now and everyday I am stunned at the difference in pick up. It's like driving a new car. Every gear has power, even 6th gear - which has always felt useless. Now I can pass people in 6th gear. I love this tune. Gas mileage is still great too. It really woke the car up. I will recommend this site to every chevy owner I know!

My '12 Chevy Cruze LT-RS has now incredible HP and Torque performance thanks to the TRIFECTA TUNE. I would have never believed it, but my son talked me into buying it. I'm more than happy I did! thanks for a supurb product...

Guys the tune works great. Have 2012 Chevy Cruze w/manual transmission with less than 60000 on it, after installing this tune you can tell the difference. A+

Just reprogrammed my 2014 chevy cruze, and I have to say I'm impressed! This tune is great! Throttle response and power through the whole rpm range is amazing, as is the shifting of the auto trans. Car was fun to drive before, but now it is even better. Was so easy to install, and the results are way better than I expected. Thank you guys for a great tune!

Wow! I love this tune and it is most certainly the best money I have ever spent on this car. Shifts are lightning fast and with the touch of the cruise control arming switch you can easily and quickly switch between driving modes. You can feel a difference in the power, merging onto the highway is super easy with this tune. Low rpm torque is improved significantly and turbo lag is seriously reduced. The shifts are so smooth it is crazy unless I am watching the rpm change I will not notice when it shifts its so fast its unbelievable. As many others have said "the difference is night and day" and it is most certainly worth the money. I will never return to stock, buy this now and you will thank me later. I drive 25k+ miles every year and this tune has made me LOVE driving this car, its so much fun to drive. Thank you Trifecta!

I was skeptical at first, but after installation and driving the car. Totally awesome! I would recommend Trifecta anytime..

Customer support was great. The tune overall made the car a little more responsive. Wish that it was a little more then just you get what you get. I'd like to have had a little more to control myself.

I love the tune. This tune makes the car more responsive. And the extra power helps around town. And with the biggest problem. When the AC is on the car was way under powered. It will never be a fast car.The transmission still learns your driving habit. And will hold a gear a little longer then stock. But in manual mode. The car get up to highway speeds faster. But this is the car Chevy should have made. I have had the tune for about a year. And have had not a single problem. With the tune or my car. I would recommend Trifecta to everyone. Love their products.

I have been more than happy with the advantage performance upgrade that Trifecta has provided for my 1.4 turbo Chevy Cruze. The support team has been more than helpful and very prompt with service. I would definitely recommend Trifecta to others looking for a little more out of their Chevy Cruze.

So, I was nervous about purchasing this mod. I've not installed anything like this before. So, it was a bit of a leap of faith.

And, when I decided to take the plunge, I found the install more challenging than the instructions suggested; but I think this was linked to some of the security settings on my laptop, along with having to sit in my car for around 40 minutes in the Houston heat and humidity, while I fumbled through the process (oh yeah, it made me do it twice - which Trifecta does state is a possibility).

Anyway.....after all that, I have to say that the mod has worked very, very well.

I'm not sure about improved fuel economy because to be honest, I drive the car more 'energetically'. But, that was part of the reason for buying the mod. Living in Houston, where everyone drives huge v8s and the traffic is crazy, I wanted to give the Cruze some extra boost to stay out of trouble.

And that is what this mod is about, for me. The power boost has been fantastic, the gear changes are so much smoother and the turbo is spooling almost all the time, ready to give you the extra you need in an almost naturally aspirated way. I would totally recommend this mod.

Great job Trifecta!
