been thinking about buying a cobb accessport for my 05 wrx, current mods are:

helix up/downpipe
helix catback
perrin inlet pipe

i know to get optimal results i would need a protune but if i were to run one of the preset maps about how much in gains could i expect to get?


edit: anyone know a good tuner down around irvine that has experience with the AP?

 

My chart...

 

Very simple mods and OTS Stg2 93 octane map.

 

If you plan on starting off with an off the shelf map you might want to call and ask Cobb if your inlet pipe will cause problems with a stage 2 reflash.

Cobb claims 224WHP with a stage 2 reflash.

BTW I've been running stage 2 for around 80K and I've been very happy with it. Good reliable power IMO.

 

thanks for the advice i'll be sure to give them a call then to be safe

 

heads up, dont use the regular stage2 map since its for 93 octane. Use the cali 91 octane map instead.

 

Yep get the Cali 91 octane map instead.
If you run 91 octane with the 93 octane map your car will run like poo.

 

im running cali stg2 map. feels a lot smoother and definately pulls harder now. like everyone says, its nice realiable power

godspeed uppipe
helix downpipe
borla hush catback

 

if i have a turboback + sard BOV, what would i consider to be? or what map would i run?

 

I've seen the Stage 1 91 maps and the Stage 1 Cali 91 maps. If you use lower quality gas in California, then the cali specific map is for you. I think you should be fine as long as you fill up with 76, Texaco or Mobil. Also, Costco gas is pretty darn good and I hear they're really good about changing their filters so the fuel is really clean. 2 fill'ups so far on Stage 1 and nothing but glee.

 

Turboback + Cobb AP - BOV = Stage II (Cal 91 oct. map)

 

I am in the process of buying a cobb AP just wondering if u guys felt a significant power increase and is it true that its about 30hp gain?

 

The AP has been discontinued and Cobb will be coming out with something new in early November.

 

the cobb AP stage 2, claim to get 224whp, and 271W torque, and thats ALOT of torque, and the cobb AP can also read CEL so its really good thing to get.

 

why would your car run like "poo" on 93 octane? you are running a higher octane gas, so that means no detonation. i have ran a st.2 91 octane map in florida and always used 93 oct. the car ran perfectly.
