ait. playa 7 just suggested that even though exhaust wise all i have is an axle back (though the DP is sittin in my room; STILL waitin on MP) i can attach the AP and flash to S1/92oct. is this a good idea? and does that AP need to stay plugged in at all times or can i just plug/flash/unplug. a little help here would be good...thanks.

 

I didn't reflash the ecu with my AP till I got everything for stage 2. I was running parts my uppipe and downpipe without reflashing for stage 1.

I'd say go for it, that way you can feel the differences between the stages.

Once you do the reflash, you don't need to have the AP connected all the time. You only connect it when you want to change maps.

Just do the stg 1 flash (91 octane)... you'll notice it.

 

good enough for me.

 

yes! go for it...you paid good money for the AP, so by all means why not? ....you can always switch through any stage realtime maps real quick at any moment ....base maps take around 10min....oh and its a 91oct map not 92oct...always flash below the oct that you use...eg: 91oct if use 92oct gas / 93oct if using 94oct or racing fuel....

if you need help flashing or about maps then ask...PM or post up

ok, so i went to flash my ecu, and i discover after readin the manual on it, that i have the wrong INIT key, how do i get the RIGHT one?? i have downloaded/installed/updated the AP (changed the ECU ID to the 2003 WRX MT, though there are two of them). so yeah...im stuck on this until i can get the new key.

 

Not quite understand what you're asking. Your AP comes w/ a CD containing all the maps. If you're talking about the year... then you can download them on Cobb's website.

 

ok the maps are good, i just need the right INIT key....i have the one from the wrong year.

 

INIT key?....you mean the "2003-2004 initialization connector (white) ? if thats the one then you can borrow mine if you want

-ROB

i'm assuming that you have the blue init key?

 

HELL YEAH! i have the blue one....where can i get my OWN though?? i would definitely appreciate borrowin...but i need my own...

 

i hear yah...im guessin contacting Cobb and asking them for the correct key...i assume that there the one's that messed up and sent you the wrong one? ....or try talkin with Ryan @Vakamon ...maybe he has a spare one lying around...

-ROB

 

IIRC, you only need to use the INIT key once... after the initial reflash... you don't quite need the lil clip after that. Hope that helps. Good luck.

 

^^^that is true

you only need the key for flashing base maps....realtime maps can be changed any time with just the AP...if you read the notes for each map it states that base maps are slightly better than just using realtime maps...so i recommend getting one anyways

-ROB

 

so i only need the key for the FIRST initial reflash? or ALL base map reflashed? and say i flash the stage I base, can i run the stage I realtime? is that ok? lots of questions.....

 

yes to all 4 questions...
