i have close to a $1,000 and i plan on getting the cobb accessport formy car. its an 02 wrx. i have turbo back exhaust catless and i have a check engine light. now i heard that i can get this tuner and get the stage 2 map and it will get rid of the code and give me more power. is this true? also i heard that topspeed and batle grounds are good places to go. i've been to topspeed and checked them out and they seem like they know what their doing. is that the best place to go, and do i need to just bring them the tuner and my car or do i need to download the map first? thanks.
If you are looking for an Cobb AP let me know. It will be worth your while. Also you should check out Mike Sargent for tuning as well. Take care!
Just an FYI, you don't have to get tuned to use the AP stg. 2... It will clear your codes and give more power. Installation/downloading the maps is really easy. Don't get me wrong, a protune is a great idea, it just not a 100% necessary depending on your needs.
And since you have an 02 wrx, you still have your stock uppipe or an sti or some other catless uppipe? Just make sure that's catless before using stg2. I think stg1 will work with the stock uppipe.
thanks for all the info and when ever i get the tuner and program it i plan on dyno it and see what HP i have and i post it up when i get it done. thanks again.
We'll match any offer you get AND if you buy the AP from us you get a half hour of free tuning Siegel
well i have all ready ordered the AP. now i just got to figure out how much it will cost me on getting topspeed to tune it for me.
Your tune will most likely be a little more complex given the rotated kit and all Or just put on the APv2 and save the pro tune for when you are finished modding it.
X2, I'd just run the map for stage 2 that comes with the accessport and then when you mod later, (I.e intake, intercooler upgrade) etc you can get protuned.
i would just use stage one unless you change your up pipe to catless... once you have the up pipe then go stage 2 until you feel the itch to need more and then i would go for a protune... mike sargent is a great guy and can help you out with anything you need!
