OK... what does it do

What is the purpose of an Access Port, are you suppose to have any other mods on the car for it?

Your car could be stock and you can flash stage 1 map. I heard it's a noticeable difference.

I plan on getting one, but idk if it'll be from vakamon since i can get it cheaper than the standard cost

^if you can get it cheaper, then the erson selling it to you could possibly lose their cobb dealer license, cobb determines the pris of their products to keep a fair stadard all accross the boards...

now, what some retailers are doing...are including free tunes which is a good plus

i think i'm getting a special price on it since they couldn't accomodate me on my last order.

But definitely get the AP.

Did you guys ever get an AWD dyno out there? You all should hit up Ed or Mike and have them come out for a road tune session. Hell, they could use the entire cost as a write off.

TDCtuning...

pdx tuning...and a few others

the cobb tunes are nice, but when we tested it out on a dyno...

cobb stage1 legacy...bone stock made about 225whp, tdc stage 2 made 235-6 iirc...

tdc stage 2 bare minimum mods, which is up, and dp, in the dyno case the owners was only on a gutted dp, and made 256...

tdc is good i have had a great experience with them... but i think he is getting overwhelmed with work at times....

ap usually comes with a free e-tune, log it until both are satisfied...and then after that retunes are $25, so to go to stage 2 or whatever, retunes are $25 pretty worth it...

i also have the logging capabilities if needed....i just dont know how to read them
