But, each time you want a different map you have to have it reflashed. Plus with the AP you can check, delete, and prevent CELs...

 

Access port is cool if you just want that extra kick in hp and do not want to worry about tuning or maximizing Hp for the mods you have.

 

Yes, the AccessPort seems like a great purchase for moderate bolt-ons. The economy map isn't bad either, especially with gas costs these days. Also, there are other maps like Valet, etc. It even allows you to run up to a VF34 or a VF30 according to the maps on their website. I have been thinking about either the Cobb AccessPort or an EcuTek reflash for quite some time.

I don't mean to thread hijack, but what are the nearest EcuTek reflash and/or dynotune facilities in this area [if there are any]? I ask, because if I could help it, I'd rather not have to send my ECU all the way to Vishnu if I had to...

-AL-

 

Thanks a bunch! Definately look into them...

***EDIT***

Yeah, their cars are sick!

So I guess there are no EcuTek tuners in Florida then...?

 

None in Florida, however there is PDX and Kingpin.......I have heard good things about both. Also Vishnu as you know. Honestly, I went w/ UTEC because of the convenience, there are two tuners nearby. One of which being CFT who have some high power WRX's that are daily driven and they have tuned countless WRX's all around Florida, the other being Coastal( they have tuned like 2 WRX's and they both don't run now........I don't recommend them unless you have a mustang .

Also the Cobb is working off base maps which were tuned in a different climate and altitude so to prevent the average car from running lean Cobb makes the maps super rich, which is pretty much the same for Ecutek unless it is being dyno tuned.( Mastro was the only one that did this)

 

Still don't see why you don't take the loss of 10 whole bucks and just try it out. If you don't like it re-sell it. I bought mine for 525 shipped and sold it for 515 pick up in less than a day.
