Question about Cobb AP economy mode
So if I already am running a Protune for an uppipe, 3'' tbe, pulley, colder plugs, big tmic and turbo inlet then can I use the standard economy mode map that came on my AP or do I need to get a 'tuned' economy map so it won't run bad?? More importantly is would it be unsafe for me to use the standard economy map for the mods I have? This is for a EJ205 btw.

You can run the economy map just fine as long as you have stock injectors and a close to stock intake. Do not drive the car hard in economy mode! In general, economy mode doesn't do much more than you can do with your right foot, so its really not worth the hassle.

Yea I'm running stock injectors, stock air filter, airbox and maf hose... only thing changed on the intake is the Perrin turbo inlet. Thanks for the help! So basically I won't see much increase in mpg if I run economy mode and baby it with the way my car is now? I try to drive easy when commuting but I always get stuck in stop and go traffic so I guess that is killing my mpg and I'm sure my 4.11 gearing isn't helping either.

I run the economy mode because if I know I have the power of the stage 2 map, I'll use it. I have no will power
