My 11' Sti is RUINED!

Cobb has a map now specifically for an aem intake. I wouldn't have put one on otherwise. No dramatization here. What I typed is what happened and it does feel ruined, even though not permanently. In my eyes if you have to pay money to get something fixed on your BRAND NEW car it's bad. Just stupid really. My car was fine till I loaded that map. Bull$hit..
OP have you tried flashing the stock map back on? Have you checked the intake for vac leaks?

Why the hell would I read up on it when I have a 2002 WRX and my AP install went just fine? We've (or at least I've) tried to give you some useful advice based on previous experiences. I'm not going to do all of the research for you. I've given you avenues to look down for a possible solution. However, I'm not going to dig through Cobb technical forums for you. Drop the attitude or **** off.
People buy/judge exhausts all the time for sound.
But if you buy a CAI that has a specific map for your NEW car - then so what if its all sound and no gain, seems hypocrit to me.
So someone posts about the connectors and OP calls him on it as incorrect and "said poster" flames the OP for saying "read up on it".
If you don't have correct info , don't reply to a thread. right? Isn't that the rule of thumb. And then to bash him is weak. You didn't know on the newer AP-003, you don't have to f with the connectors which is awesome and common knowledge mr. vip. just sayin.

all I had on was a Crawford performance axleback at first. Not tune. For like 4 days. Then I got my ap. I didnt do anything with it till I got my crawford performance downpipe and aem cai. I called crawford and cobb to make sure the setup would work fine before installing. They said it was a great setup installed it all and put the map on. Installation went fine. All it was was unbolting and rebolting

What downpipe / CB do you have ? Did you try unmarrying (after resetting the battery) and starting over. And calm down I am sure there are people who are very interested in this issue and willing to help figure it out, its likely a simple install error.

I make no apologies for offering options and biting back when he comes back with an attitude. I can't believe how nowadays people want full information handed to them on a silver platter. No, doesn't work like that. We'll give you leads, but it is your job to follow those and track down your own answer. All any of us can do is share experiences and what we've learned from them.

So you have something to add to help the OP? I thought that was the first rule
So you just came in here to call people out / keep a flame war going? I'm just saying .

Not a lot of room for errors. When i started my car I started having problems. Very, VERY basic setup. No leaks and nothing loose. Took off the negative on the battery and uninstalled it once and redid everything. Still no good.

car is fine stock
car is fine with axle back
car is not fine when DP and AP and CAI go on.
it is one of the last three. It is a process of elimination.

So I'll go back to what I said in the very beginning. Uninstall the map and make an appointment with GST (one of the closer shops since you're in SJ). Something is obviously wrong with the car or AP, so let someone trained look into it before something fails catastrophically. You don't want to end up as one of those "I got a misfire CEL but ignored it, and then my engine blew." stories.

I am guessing it is not the DP because you would be able to hear the exhaust leak.
if the intake is 120% correct that only leaves one thing.

All you offered for options were 1. Waste my time 2. Waste my time and 3. Look for connectors that have nothing to do with my car and WASTE MY TIME. thanks!

It is hard to tell, but I get the impression all parts were installed and working before the ECU was flashed. Correct? Then as Sigma said, that leaves only one area. The AP (be it the actual AP, the dongle, or the map).
Someone said that "even Cobb doesn't know what he's talking about." so I get the impression that you've spoken to Cobb. What did they say?
