Cobb AP, who has them?

[Christian.]

As we had promised earlier. Please review our latest document, the MS3 Service Bulletin v1.01 and let me know if this is helpful? We wanted to get together information concerning how these high-performance, turbo-charged engines are supposed to be maintained as well as some information about various service announcements that have been made by the manufacturer of the vehicle.

Take care,
Christian.

So did Mazda find out that your ECU was reflashed ?
Just wondering....

Nope. I uninstalled the AP, let the dealer flash it and reinstalled when I got the car back. the dealer knew NOTHING. And I'm sure they looked at the ecu thoroughly before flashing.

That pretty much makes up my mind too!

Just got mine! im saving the stock map now, then i was gonna load up the stage 2 for intake and TBE. Why does it say that you need a TMIC for stage 2 on the AP itslef? stage 2 says intake, TBE and TMIC?? i didnt think you needed a TMIC for stage 2?? I will let you know how it works out shortly.

For warranty purposes I'm not gonna replace my downpipe, I'm guessing there isn't a stage 2 map you can run with the factory downpipe, even if the rest is switched out?

Nope

maybe its referring to the stock tmic?

 

[lestat13]

Nope

Didn't think so oh well, probably not worth $700 for stage 1

yea, I felt the same way but honestly, the DP install isn't that bad. I was planning on keeping all my mods stealth or at least easily removed - Like an ETS TMIC, race pipe etc...But I think I'm going to go ahead w/ the DP anyway. why not. If anything goes wrong, I'll just remove the DP and RP and put the stock ones back on.

Have one. LOVE IT. I think I was the first one to need the new firmware.

give Cobb some time guys. once shops and users can tune it there will be plenty of tappable potential.

hmmmmmmm this is starting to sound worth it!

Cant wait for Jorge at P&L to work his magic!

yea but, hearing so much negative makes the product seem like a waste of 800 dollars, and there isnt the tuner capability so its 1 map for all which is retarded seeing that everyone lives in diff temp, elevation etc... cobb, come on ya(jerkit)

Why are you complaining...it's a lot better than nothing, and I don't see any other tuners stepping up to the plate.

I just got mine today but waiting to get my dp installed before reflashing my ecu. I have an Injen CAI, turbosmart BOV, GHL cbe and CP-E catless dp. Not sure which map to use. Any ideas?

My service writer asked if I had a chip in the car besides all the bolt ons. Because with the reflash there is potential for it to be wiped. I do not have Cobb, but this feature of being able to disengage their data maps and return to stock with out sucking reflash capabilities of stock Ecu is pretty nifty. As many have said, patience has its rewards. These fellows are doing the Mazdaspeed 3 folks right and they are our dedicated Tuner. The rest of us will probably borrow their ideas once they get into the higher perf. Which they will.
