remaps your ecu so the air fuel ratio is changed around
and your boost is turned up as well

How much does a reflash turn up the boost levels? I have heard numerous things about boost on a stock rex. I have heard that they usually run 12.5 psi. My car didnt come with a boost gauge but I had Subaru install the factory gauge and as you probably know, it runs in mPa. I'm not sure what that is but as far as I know, that is equivalent to bar. My car must be a freak of nature or something because my car, when at full boost is .1 mPa. Can someone clear this up for me? As for a reflash, I would check Cobb tuning. They are pretty reputable for their work.

A reflash will adjust the fuel, timing and boost either specifically to your car (if you having the car tuned and dyno'd at the same time) or to the mods on your car with a staged off the shelf map.

Has Cobb Tuning started shipping the AccessPORT already? I thought they were only taking pre-orders...

They haven't started shipping yet. I think the guy told me the first or second week of Feb they were going to ship. I'm just super excited to be getting it. It's going to be the first power mod to my car. Can't wait! Hopefully I really notice a difference

Yeah, there will be a great difference. Reflashes are probably one of the best bang for the buck mods.
