I dont know how a Cobb reflash would work with a txs computer....but to answer your question a Cobb reflash w/a vf-34 map is good/reliable if your not going to tune the car further. meaning to get the most performance/hp out of your car you would have to go with a txs utec, ecu-tec,etc.....
You cant tune an ecu with an access port (asuming thats what a "cobb reflash system" is?)
but you can flash pre-tuned maps to your ecu with it.
To solve tuning problems you would have to use a txs utec, or get an ecu-tec,etc.
sorry i dont know much about any other engine management system other then the access port. do a search in the E.M. forums to get alot more info.
oh and thats one sweet azz wagon

ok I learned more about the history of the car. I was done-up by a "rich" guy. His stable of cars has or does include things like a viper, corvettes(yes two), porsche turbo. He traded it in on a new legacy wagon for his employees, then traded that in for the limited legacy wagon week later. Geez, this guy needs a kick in the ***.
I learned the car was tuned in ohio. Does anyone know of shops in ohio capable of this stuff?
I'm going to test drive in Saturday. Wish me luck, don't know if fiancee will let me buy it.

Car Info: No car right now....sob.
I wouldn't buy a modded car, personally. You never know how hard the car has been driven, regardless of what the prior owner told you. It may be fine, then crap out on you a week later. And good luck getting a refund. Plus, no warrenty with the mods he has done.
