COBB AP & Boost Controller?
Is the boost feature in the AP 2 accurate enough to set a MBC?

Need to be protuned for that since its a 3 port.

OTS Maps for the AP use stock BCS.

The tuner should be able to tune for either a EBC or MBC.

The MBC is a great option for overall performance, but you definitely have to get the car tuned to run it safely. It should be set up by the tuner during the tune.

Thanks

I can install the MBC for $50, but its an easy install that you can do before the tune. Just make sure to set the MBC to the lowest setting before we tune.

Thanks
