cobb access port question

bottom, advantage of an air compressorand a great tool set as well i also had loosend up a bunch of the bolts months before beacuse i was planning on this mod and i wanted to loosten them ub and antisize some of the dificult ones mailnly heat shield bolts and i got to a couple of the easyier turbo bolts.
 
More food for thought. Christian recommended I run regular stage 2 map as an experiment.

No stuttering like before...can actually feel the power increase, it's nice...BUT

it's too much boost! It feels great until I get boost cut. Little over 20psi in 3rd, 4th. Did a "log" of boost, WGDC, and Load %. With Cobb's maps, boost cut limit has been increased to around 20psi, and I'm right there. But I don't get any of the same stuttering as before, and first and second feel really nice (can actually spin the tires again heh).



Wastegate isnt doing anything like it was before...weird, I dont get it. Anyone have insight?
 
I sent the info over to Christian., since he is gonna know by far the most about what's going on with the various maps (boost fueling etc), I'm hoping he can get some useful info out of it.

When I ran stage1 + SF for fun, I had the same issues as stage 2 + SF (stutter, but no big boost cut like with just plain stage 2)
 
be careful by the way... CPe released an article saying that our ECU was only good for a finite number of flashes. I'm not sure why this would be the case, but I don't know why they would make something like that up.
 
They have some thing about 100 being the limit or something like that. Cobb has said they have flashed their car 700-1000 times, so while I don't want to flash this thing every 10 minutes, I'm not super worried about it.

They've never had an ECU fail on them due to flashing or flashing too many times. I can only imagine how many times some of their own WRXs or STIs have been flashed..lol. Just want people to know...don't want this to turn into some huge paranoia like hydrolock or something.

Geez 7 bills and I'm going to loose power and have problems. I'd only be running stage 1 sf right now though. any reports from stage 1 guys? I'm starting to think i should cancel my order and do my suspension mods first.I'm quite disapointed right now :(
 
every other single person who has made any comment on it (not just cobb guys) has been good/running fine.

Just wanna let you guys what's going on. It may be a quick fix with the mapping once Christian figures out exactly what is causing the problem. It may be the corksport downpipe design just sucks. It might be it flows better than Cobbs and its boosting too much. Just dunno yet, we gotta test one thing at a time and try to pinpoint the exact problem
 
Christian is making some revised maps and I should have them this evening or early tomorrow. He's going to try a few different things with them, and "it may be as simple as providing a calibration that has reduced WGDC in order to compensate for the downpipe design."
 
hm I wonder if they're going to do this for everyone!

my guess is they may put together a main thread of possible issues and setups that correspond with those issues then possibly offer tweaked maps for different instances. This is just my guess.
 
I think they are also trying to see if theres any deeper issues at hand, such as fuel pump problems, etc. that may affect lots of people.
 
this really sucks, i was really excited about this. I havnt seen any of these posts u mention where people are actually happy.
 
No one really has it yet...shoudl hear more reviews tonight. I think most people are getting it int he mail today/this afternoon
 
o i was jus sayin that cuz ive seen it written a few times on several forums, i think by u actually, that others besides u have had nothing but good things to say and i just cant find them
 
I have Turbo XS DP,RP,Injen&PG manifold set up howmany HP increase do u think i have?:-)93 octane FL
 
I hope to go to Moroso drag strip sometime soon to get real results and test the car ,we`ll see.
