would this be safe to run this with a catless turbo back for a few months till i can afford an ap? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/668583823.html
thanks

 

you'd be safer running untuned than running some POS craigslist map

 

Werd...have to agree looks like a shady set up, and even if its legit, its best to pay for a true tune not some reflash base map that some guys threw together doing
math on there calcs while trading stocks

 

yeah i gotta agree with the ^^ two above. don't do nothing dumb and get a open tune from a unknown shop. i mean it's your motor and if they mess up you will be paying for it in the long run. go to a subaru shop thats well known like gst motors or something. save up and do it right. better safe then sorry.

 

If you have a laptop already, read up on flashing the ecu yourself and check out the XPT maps. My personal experience on my 02 is that the XPT Stage 2 map felt better to me than the OTS AccessPort Stage 2 map. If you don't ever intend to go beyond stage 2 then I don't see the point of getting an AccessPort when you can go openSource and run a map that is probably as safe as the Cobb OTS map for like 1/4 of the price.
I wouldn't really trust the craigslist map either though, that just seems kind of shady to me. Of course nothing beats a custom tune...
But this is just my opinion, you need to ask yourself how comfortable you are with going openSource vs accessPort.
