The XR-1® Tuner represents the latest technology in vehicle performance electronics and is engineered to improve torque and horsepower in turbocharged cars. It features a fast 48Mhz processor and SMD construction for best resistance to shake and vibration conditions as well as improved EM and RF performance.

Each XR-1® Tuner application has been tuned and tested to enhance your vehicle’s driving dynamics, while keeping OEM protections and drivability intact. The software is specifically tuned for, and the hardware is designated for each vehicle to provide maximum benefit.

The XR-1® Tuner allows the engine to produce up to 70 lb/ft of torque and 40hp more than stock.

It is very easy to install the XR-1® Tuner, since it has been designed as a plug and play device, it can be installed in 10-15 minutes in most applications. It is also quick and easy to disable the device; simply plug in a by-pass connector to return to factory power level. You can plug in at the track, unplug for the street. Its stealth design leaves no trace in ECU flash memory and it is not affected by dealer updates to the ECU. The XR-1® Tuner can be completely removed in 10-15 minutes if you want to return the vehicle to stock for any reason.

The kit includes a stainless steel mounting bracket, all necessary wiring and easy-to-follow instructions.

Does this unit do the same thing the Boostmax does which is just manipulate sensor data and add extra boost?

[MENTION=23401]Lisa@Borla[/MENTION], Can you explain how this tuner works?

While the simple answer to your question is yes, it’s really the strategy we employ to get it to that point that makes our product different…
We measure the characteristics of each application’s sensors and apply algorithms to modify the output signals that the ECU will receive in a manner that is not outside of its expected boundary conditions. We focus on making each XR-1® Tuner application specific and do extensive testing to make sure the algorithm provides safe sensor outputs to the ECU of each vehicle.
Comprehensive testing has involved using a Borla Exhaust system to extract maximum potential from the combination, which makes this product a great fit for those who already have a Borla Exhaust.

If I had an ecoboost Mustang, I would be all in for this product. Sounds like easy horsepower.

Sure is. It can also be easy way to ventilate the block.

Reminds me of a JB4 tune

isn't better airflow always a good thing?

This is a great altervative to the COBB Accessport. If you are an Ecoboost owner this is a great plug and play way to go. Special deals and Free Shipping at RDP Store

:doh: this is a great alternative if you don't know how to plug in a device to an OBD2 port and press a button or 2, and if you don't mind tricking sensors into making more boost.

The only time this would be a great option is for someone scared to death of a warranty failure, since this wouldn't show up as a flash to the ECU. I'll guarantee someone would question how you made a picture window in the side of the block, but the car was only reporting that everything was perfect at 28psi

I am new to this forum and I would like to ask a question. I just bought and I am about to install the catback MBRP Race exhaust system. The next modification will be an intercooler (probably the Extreme Turbo Systems intercooler) and a tuner. In regards to the tuner, I am between the Borla XR-1 and Accessport V3.

Is there any advise, or are there any thoughts on the choise of the tuner that will be successfully combined with the above modifications?

I like the XR-1 choise because it's very easily installed and it's hiden under the hood, so it doesn't take any space in the cabin. On the other hand, Accessport V3 is custamizable and it starts to build a brand name amongst EcoBoost owners and suppliers. Another concern that I have with the Accessport is the fact that I will have to remove it every time I park the car to a place where there is a risk that it might be stollen, whereas there is no need to remove the XR-1.

I lean towards the XR-1, but I do not know how it will perform with the modifications that I am about to do.

That XR1 is not a device where a tuner can create a custom tune for you. The accessport, ngauge, SCT, are devices that enable custom tunes. The XR1 is more like the boostmax controller where it tricks the ECU into providing more boost.

Thanks mtoo22. Actually getting additional boost is why I am doing all this modifications (aren't we all?). I am looking into which one of the two (Accessport V3 or XR-1) will provide the best results (better hp and torque) with the modifications I described.
