0:21 Unboxing 1:35 Features 2:25 Firmware Update 3:12 How To Reflash the ECU 7:12 RESULTS

When I was a young buck back in 2005 dsport was my favourite magazine, drooled over car parts I thought I could never afford. Here I am watching the KZread channel for advice

Best install video, you guys explained every single step very well

I just got my Cobb today and i just installed it and wow what a difference and it’s only stage 1

That's how it should've been tuned by the factory. Consider a custom tune through the Accessport soon, it will be an even more impressive difference. Keep us updated.

Hey thanks for the video! I have a quick question... First I will give context and backdrop. I am close to pulling the trigger on an AP, and would load a 91 octane tuning map, as all but one station around me carries 91. There is the one station that has 93. If I run the 93 while having the 91 tune, will this reduce my chances of knock even further? I see this as simply so in my head, but was looking for others inputs of experience, knowledge on this: i know these motors are sensitive... so i want to do everything right if I do anything to the car. I already have plans, but those can change in a moment... I remember hearing engine knock in my dad's Mach1 on 91 octane years back; that's actually the moment I learned about compression and how different fuels burned at different rates and intensities... Cool memory. Anyhow, I think my STI may also be craving higher octane fuel. I know my 11WRX went through some pistons due to my lack of diligence in regards to the tuning of it.. I have the IAG AOS and Cyl4 cooling mods about to be installed on the STI but am kinda just waiting to pull the trigger until I'm confident with the car and it's future in the garage (12,700mi bone stock at the moment). I've heard, from the depths of the forums, of piston ring land issues even on the 2020 with the RA pistons at or below the hp levels I would like to enjoy with this platform, and might end up just throwing some H-tuffs in there if it comes down to that...

What’s the maintenance on wrx ?

I have no battery charger , so I think it's best for me to just buy a new battery the day I do it. just in case, cause I don't wanna mess up anything . thanks good vid

@dsport

5 жыл бұрын

A new battery without a charger will most likely be fine. In fact, even a slightly used battery will be OK. Installation and reflash don't end up taking that long. However, it's a safety measurement. You do not want your battery to die during the reflash, or your ECU could be toast. We tried it once without a battery charger on the factory (almost brand-new) battery, and we had no issues. Better safe than sorry, though.

As far as the HWG you had mentioned that to only use it if not meeting boost, so im on the stage 1+ w/Big Sf and the program says it should at 19psi boost. I've only reached 15psi, is this something that should warrant the change to the HWG?

@dsport

4 жыл бұрын

Hey Jason, If the map says it should be at a specific boost and it's not reaching that peak boost, then it should justify that. However, to be safe, you should reach out to Cobb in case something else is preventing your ECU from meeting its target boost.

Can you run the stage one OTS with all stock bolt ons? Or do they recommend some sort of upgrades before running stage 1?

@dsport

3 жыл бұрын

Each map has notes in it that tells you the level of upgrade you should have. You can do a map with all factory parts, just be sure it says that in the map notes.

You can go to the Cobb's site and put your car's information to see if they make an Accessport for it. Here is the site: www.cobbtuning.com

When you put it back to stock, it shows the same effect as if you've removed the battery. So as far as we know, it would show like you had a dead battery at some point.

I just need the 91 ma performance tune how do I go about that. I bought it off ma performance.

@dsport

You can buy the MA Performance tune off of their website. I believe it's $75. If you decide to go with a COBB off-the-shelf tune, you can call COBB and tell them what upgrades you have to make sure it's compatible.

what dyno was this? 248 whp seems like alot. I thought it was around 220whp. cool though

@dsport

5 жыл бұрын

The 248whp was our BASELINE. This is with the full Remark Catback exhaust. Stock, this WRX put down 244.95 whp and 247.18 lb-ft of torque. A lot of OEMs don't have accurate engine power, but the wheel horsepower is the most accurate in the end for real-life power numbers that make it down to the wheels. This is the Remark Exhaust video, it has the before and after dyno (Stock vs Exhaust): kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4iNxc-xd5iXfc4.html

It's important to know what upgrades are on the car before choosing the proper map for your car. These engines are pretty sensitive to changes, even an intake system would require a specific tune. So be sure to have someone take a look at the car if you can't tell what has been done to it.

We recommend you talk to Cobb so they give you the exact tune. If you're using Cobb parts, there is most likely an Off-The-Shelf map for it. However, if you're using other manufacturer parts, it's recommended you talk to them to see if you need a custom tune of an off the shelf map that they recommend would work. Good luck.

Do you guys offer protunes for a GTI?

Chances are, your battery will hold up. However, in the case it dies, your ECU will most likely be done. This is also recommended by COBB not just us.

It’s stage 1 will void your warranty?

As far as we understand, flashing the ECU back to the factory map will have the same footprint on your ECU as if you unplug your battery. So, it shouldn't void the warranty. However, be sure to check with COBB just to be safe.
