It works nicely. You should check out the Cobb website at www.cobbtuning.com. I've re-mapped my ECU to Stage 1 91 oct. There is a definite difference in performance. My max boost in 2-5 is about .095 mPa (I hit .105 once in 5th) but I suspect the levels will go up when the weather cools down (it's been in the mid-80's+ when I've been driving my car).

Kettsup, you will probably need to go back to the factory boost controller and maybe get rid of the CAI (check with Cobb). If you do that, you will probably want to use Stage 2 and should be around 280 hp.

Nice thing about it is that you can change the real time maps in a minute or two. I've been running the Stage 1 map but will give the fuel economy map a try on my next long road trip and will use the stock map when I take my car into the dealership.

if you go with cobb be ready to wait a long time, they are pretty popular right now.

and its no use to have a boost controller with EM, aaaaaaand most people say get rid of the intake.

although i can't speak from experience, just repeating what most people say in reguard to this stuff.

No. If it has been used then it is married to whichever ecu it was used with. It will do you no good.

I think new ones are less than that anyway? I think i paid 5## for mine.

anyways, i love it its a great set up. the only thing i dont like is that tuning options are limited untill accesstuner comes out

Wait a second, I believe you can "unmarry" it. (if you have the full licence) and then it can be re-married to another ECU.
