Cobb AP!!! It's orderable on the Cobb website!

has anyone tried this with CAI and TBE yet?? Im curious what it would do for me, because i put down 280whp and 322wtq with my TBE, CAI and boost set at 17 psi. I wonder if i could still run 17psi with the cobb AP??????

What kind of fuel management are you using to archive this?

Damn Nig! Those are some nice #'s. Have you ever taken her to the track?

any issues wtih fuel? do you have an upgraded cdfp?
 
I got all the supporting mods under the sun plus you don`t need an AP to up the boost and get the same HP right?However i would like to see a stage 2 on 93 octane with CAI DP RP and turbo manifold.

Stage 2 is 10hp extra not 285.Those must be crank figures it says+10hp next to the map downloads.285hp my butt.I would like to see some Cobb AP owner on this forum show me on a Mustang Dynamometer 280hp to the wheels with 17.5 psi stock with only a CAI and 91 octane fuel and i`ll bow down to them.285 and piggs fly.
Show me real life dynos from owners,not dash hawk or some colourfull software computer charts.

I plan on dynoing mine, I just got a Cobb Accessport and i'm already running the Cobb SRI. I put it on Stage1+ and it seemed to run a little harder, definitely noticed it spool up quicker and harder, not "too much" more power overall but I wasn't expecting a miracle. When I dyno it I'll post up the figures, with A/F of course.
 
people on this site are obsessed with abbreviations! (ap, vta, tbe, tpe, cbe, sri, dp) why not just spell out the words!
 
every site is the same way, it takes too long to spell everything out. Learn the abbreviations. I am sure there are threads about it.
 
Getting mine Wednesday. If people don't post up some dyno's soon, I may be looking into doing it myself. Plus I'm curious to see where I'm at. Unfortunately, I didn't get a baseline before the MS CAI, but what can you do, right?
 
well you can always revert back to stock. in the time it would take to load the ap you could change out the stock to cai. just remove the front bumper before you get on the dyno and they start charging you time.
 
I feel that the gas milage is a bit better, but i dont understand why the ap only has the stages with 91 octane? ever since i installed this thing, my car has been sluggish, not launching like it use to...i installed stage 1 + sf. only thing i have on my car is just the cobb sri
 
Same setup as me... SRI and AP. I think a lot of it is mental. It feels slower around town but in reality i think its smoother. That "hit" from instant boost at 1/3rd throttle is gone because maybe boost is kicking in sooner. WOT for me feels better, spool time is quicker. I dunno, but the dyno will tell.

I have noticed my exhaust tip is pure BLACK now.... it always had some soot but wow... maybe its running too rich in spots, again we'll see what the dyno and a/f meter says.
 
I have a question? Doesn't the ECU log the date that reflash has been uploaded to the ECU? For instance if I change the map today and need to go to the dealer tomorrow, won't it show that the ECU has been tampered with showing the date of 05/29/2008?
 
I am now a Beta-Tester for the Accessport, working with Christian @ Cobb and Chris SK @ EFI Logics / XXTuning.

This evening I have loaded the Stage1+ SF_91octane v.101 tune (running 93 octane here on the east coast) and it is definitely an improvement over the v.100 that the AP came with. Tomorrow Chris and I are dynoing my '08 MS3 on the Dynapacks to get my stock baseline numbers, numbers for v.100 and the numbers for v.101 Boost and A/F will be recorded as well.

All I have done for mods at the moment is Cobb's intake and I am very impressed with how much quicker boost comes on, the power increase, and the increased power up near 6000 rpm compared to the stock tune.

Speaking as a tech for a well-known Mercedes dealer you need not worry about it. I may not be able to give an insight on how Mazda runs things, but it's not really something a technician would care about. The worst thing that could happen is that the guy working on your car would find a newer software update via Mazda corp. and then overwrite your tune. Sometimes I seriously think that most the people on car forums seriously over-estimate the determination and attention to detail of dealers/techs. This isn't CSI people. We are all just trying to make a paycheck out there. Since we are commission, we don't really go wasting our time digging around in stuff like that. Granted there may be some Mr.GoodyTwoShoes out there with the suspicion and willingness to look into things to try to catch people, but they are few and far between.

If you put your stock map on that you downloaded on your first install you will be fine..And anyways the techs dont look at all the stuff anyways,They just plug it into a program thing and let it do its thing.
