Exhaust,Downpipe,Racepipe NO TUNE

[jeff4880]

I have a Corksport down pipe/test pipe with a high flow cat and I'm still running the stock tune. I have never thrown a CEL and the car run great.

you should have a high flow cat if you are going to run an AP stage 2 tune

Yeah, I agree with 240ka. Why "should" we have a high flow cat to run that tune?

im ordering my turboxs dp/rp tonight, my friend is selling me his cpe stnadback and pnp for dirt cheap, can i use that instead and have someone tune it for me, or would cobb ap be the way to go

The tune is designed to have a minor amount of system back pressure.

yeah and no back pressure is the best...all of the tunes are designed for us to use all cobb parts which we dont

no high flow cat needed

get the AP, its plug and play, you can customize your tune or tune your car with ATR and the Ap is super user-friendly

GET THE AP

+1 youll def need sum kind of pump upgrade. You dont need a cat, just depends on what u want, just know if you delete all cats your going to be really loud. Datalog and moniter your car, if you feel hesitations, cuts or its logging some knock, u need to change sumthing.

well youll run a stage 2 v105 sf map to start with assuming you going the turboxs dp/rp direction. I highly suggest going wiht 1 step colder sparkplugs when you get the AP...Make sure thier gapped .026-.028. Denso ivt-22 plugs would be a solid choice. To asnwer the cost of tune question:....... Like I said before when you your Cobb Accessport,It will come with a cable that can plug in both your laptop computer and car. Read the directions and download the cd into your computer. The database shouldm update itself and you will have all the version 105 maps on your computer. You will then plug the Ap into your computer and download the maps on to your AP harddrive. Once done so..follow the directions on pluging the ap into your car and loading a map into your ecu. so when you plug that Accessport into your car. Your mod list shoud be- cobb sf intake,turboxs downpipe/racepipe,Forge bpv,and 1step colder sparkplugs gapped correctly. With these mods you should download the stage 2 v105 sf map...there are 2 of these maps..1 is for 91octane gas..the other for 93 octane gas..its ok to run 91 map with 93 octane gas..but not visa versa..bottom line if you have 92 or lower oct. run the 91 map..93 or higher,run 93...Now these maps are free,and wont cost you a thing,they come with the AP. custom tuning costs varies...check with your local and RELIABLE Cobb tuner. I suggest datalogging your car's peformance while running the stage 2 map to see how your afr's, fuel psi,knock retard,timing ect are doing before you go out and spend money on a custom tune. I will say that custom tuning is key to making the most power "safely" on this car. Im sure youll have more questions and their are members on here that can help you..this should give you a decent start. Just take things 1 step at a time and follow your product directions and be safe and level headed when your tuning your car.

why do you recomend 1step colder? Im about to order plugs, I was gonna get denso iridiums. And i thought the gap was .030-.032? sum1 help me lol

you get boost creep w/o a cat

the off the shelf tunes are designed for a highflow cat.

onelsono: That is the suggested spark plug gap from Cobb, as well as having 1 step colder plugs. But if your bone stock or just got intake-testpipe thing goingdont worry about it. If ypou have the Cobb AP..then you need to go with thier specs...or you should anyways...and regarding this back pressure s***...You dont "need" a cat...would it help with the ots maps? YES...cause thier designed from using a dp with a dam hi flow cat. But you can tune the catless downpipes just fine..just keep that in mind happy tuning.

o i c.. yea i got a full turboback no cat, intake, fuelpump and prof tune through the ap.. and im still on stock plugs, prob y im still geting a slite hesitation up top in the rpm at times, thank man,, where u buy ur plugs?

watch ur fuel, its starting to get colder so the boost is gonna hit alot harder, u done want that thing to lean out at wot and go boom. to be safe u should be in the 11's all the way through the powerband.

 

[MSMS3]

the off the shelf tunes are designed for a highflow cat.

But I don't get boost creep. Maybe the tunes introduce that?
