Before you start

Note
  • We decided to add one more safety feature to the EVP X3 Flex Fuel system. In addition to the ethanol content display which replaces your factory boost percentage gauge on the info display, we also added a visual indicator if there is a problem with the system. The way it works is if the ECU detects a rapid change in the ethanol content, or if the ECU loses contact with the EVP Ethanol control module, the ethanol content on the BRP information display will flash alternatively between 0 and 100%. In addition, boost and ignition values are reduced to their lowest levels as if there were pure pump gas in the tank. After 30 seconds, if the ethanol content is stable and/or communication with the EVP Ethanol control module is resumed, all ignition and boost settings resume to their appropriate levels for the indicated ethanol content and the ethanol content display will read normally. If the problem persists, the ethanol content will continue to flash and power is limited to the lowest level.
  • 2021-2023 models must set your wastegate crack pressure to 12psi.
