We took feedback from customers as well as from our own testing and have integrated some new features into our software tuning. Additionally, we developed new hardware components for the X3 as well as AFR integration into our industry leading Maptuner X flash tool. Software Update V718-1S 2018 Maverick X3 Stages 1-5RWi  (Also 17 models fitted with 18 Fuel Pump) Left Foot Brake Enable Intercooler Fan Settings Adjusted for Optimum Cooling* Improved boost response / low to midrange power improvements Launch Start w/ New EVP Override Switch Stage 4RWi X100 (Extreme 100 Octane Tune) Release Date TBD Stage 5RWi X85 (Extreme E85 Tune) Release Date TBD Left Foot Brake Enabled:  This feature allows brake pedal and accelerator pedal to be applied at the same time to prevent the throttle from closing while driving at speeds. Intercooler Fan Settings: The OEM intercooler fan is settings are controlled by temperature, boost, RPM and pedal position. We have adjusted all of these settings to optimize the intercooler fan cooling affects for optimum efficiency while still allowing the fan to cycle on and off.  *Recommended - 30-Amp Mini-Blade Fuse to be installed in fuse box (location F17) in place of the OEM 25-Amp Fuse. Improved Boost response + Low/Mid Power:  Optimized fuel and ignition parameters for improved boost / throttle response. Launch Start w/ EVP Override Switch: Our on/off switch replaces the OEM override switch which allows Launch Start from a standstill and prevents “low gear” mode.  This allows operation of the gas pedal and brake pedal at the same time from a standstill to launch the car hard for drag racing.   Part Number: X3-SW-LA: $25.00 Order Online: https://evopowersports.com/product/maverick-x3-launch-switch Stage 4RWi X100 (Extreme 100 Octane Tune): This stage is built on our ever popular Stage 4RWi and further pushes the limits of the stock turbocharger.

The wideband controller works with gasoline, bio diesel, ethanol, methanol, E85, LPG, and CNG. It includes two analog outputs (wideband 0-5V, and narrowband 0-1V) for interfacing with 3rd party devices and one digital serial output for interfacing with the DM-6 gauge and other Multi Gauges. Includes P&P power cable and O2 bung. - EVP Maptuner X HDMI 3.5mm Expansion Cable: Connects Maptuner X to accessories such as Lambda/02 monitoring devices.
