Which accessport did you buy? As far as I know Cobb doesnt make it for the STI yet. If you are useing an accessport that is made for a WRX its not going to work very well since the mapping on a STI is totally different than the stock WRX. Here is the link to Cobb http://cobbtuning.com/sti/accessport-perf.html. If the company you bought it from knew you had an STI I would go complain to them because I dont know how safe that is.

It takes the ecu a while to learn the new map and you wont see the max performance untill around the third day. Also did you load stage 2 as real time or as the base map? Im pretty sure it needs to be the base map or you wont get good results. I wouldnt sell it yet, from what I've heard Cobb is very helpful so I would call them and see what they say.

Good luck.

From what Ive read it takes longer than that but I dont know for sure. Check out this link, I dont know that this will work but its worth a try https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...learning+trick. If this doesnt work wait a few days and update us on any progress or lack of.

Good luck

You dont need to be catless to run stage 2. Cobb even sells a downpipe with a high flow cat with their stage 2 power package http://cobbtuning.com/sti/power-s.html#stage2.

Catless is not required, hell even cobb sells a catted DP. I dont think waiting for the ECU to learn is going to net him any real significant gains either, I'd be dissappointed with that ****, doesn't cobb offer $$$ back for 30 days?

What exactly does Cobb claim? Improved mid-range, or top-end, or both? BTW, dyno pulls are one thing, real world drivability is another. How does it drive/feel...what is your subjective opinion? Need to know more. Keep us updated.

According to Shiv you can gain up to 20 hp after the ecu does its learning. I dont know this to be a fact but I would think Shiv knows what he is talking about. The learning trick link I posted above explains why.

FWIW, that learning trick only applies to WRX ECUs (except our remaps which already default to max output after installation). There is no such learning trick with the STi.

just my 2c,

I don't see what the fuss is about, he laid down about the same numbers as cobb did on their dyno. He's probably making alittle less power because he still has a cat. Cobb's dyno plot is catless I think.
