📢 New on BOBPerformance: Discover our new calibration options!
We are pleased to announce the integration of new features on your BOBPerformance platform. Whether for performance, reliability, or customization, these options are now available to optimize your engine management files.
Here are the details of the new features:
🔧 Engine Optimization & Management
Soft rev limiter off: This option removes the engine speed limiter when the vehicle is in neutral.
Coolant temperature management: Allows you to modify the radiator activation or the target engine temperature.
Coasting mode off: Disables the coasting mode that automatically shifts the vehicle into neutral when the engine is not under load.
Left foot braking: Enables left-foot braking without power interruption, even if the accelerator is still depressed.
⚖️ Specific Calibrations
Injector Calibration: Designed for calibrating high-volume injectors.
Fuel Pump Calibration (LPFP/HPFP): Calibrates high-volume, low-pressure or high-pressure fuel pumps.
MAP Sensor Calibration: Allows calibration of a different pressure sensor.
MAF Scaling: Calibrates the mass airflow sensor (MAF) when the intake diameter changes.
🚫 Deactivations & Solutions
TVA (Throttle Valve Actuators): This option allows software management or deactivation of the throttle valve. Although this actuator normally regulates the airflow or mixture for combustion, it can be deactivated to prevent limp modes or mechanical failures.
AGS (Active Grille Shutter): A mechatronic system that opens or closes the grille shutters as needed in real time. This option is useful in case of actuator failure or to free up space when installing a higher-performance intercooler. It also prevents the check engine light (MIL) from illuminating, which is related to the shutter management.
SAP/SAI (Secondary Air Injection): A secondary air injection system that helps clean residue in the exhaust. It uses a valve that directs fresh air from the intake manifold to the exhaust, a component that is prone to failure over time.
Evap & MAF Removal: Options to remove the fuel vapor recirculation system or to disable the mass airflow (MAF) sensor management.
Pop & Bang Removal: Allows you to disable the factory-installed "pop" system on some vehicles.
🛡️ Reliability & Diagnostics
Oil Pressure Fix: Reliability solution for TDI engines, eliminating the risk of oil pump hexagonal drive failure and engine seizure.
Rattle Fix: For 2.5 TFSI engines (TTRS/RS3/RSQ3), this option corrects the known metallic noise coming from the wastegate.
Readiness Code: Verifies that the 8 bits corresponding to the emissions monitoring systems (OBD-II) display the "Passed" status. An essential option for emissions checks performed during vehicle inspections.
Checksum & Restore: We offer checksum calculation if your tool does not support it, as well as a restore option to repair a file back to a functional original file.
