So my thread and experiment was to test if Cobb's map (which I'm sure took some time and experimentation) actually worked. Most people just say, "Duh, it doesn't work," but they cannot prove why or can back it up with any evidence. They're either too lazy, IMO, or they just repeat what others say in the forums.
So my thread (or my followup post) says, under my experiment which may differ from user to user, the Cobb Econo map does not yield "optimal fuel savings."

are you serious? yea i have two posts and its because i bought an STI dumb**** and i decided to join the forum for insight. ****! but its ok it sounds exactly like you know what your talking about from your posts. oh and you must know more about cars than i do also. LOL you went with this map as an "experiment" because you dont know better...do you know how to tune your car? do you know what it takes to get this "optimal fuel usage" bull**** that they say? You are like everyone else that falls for what certain vendors have to say to put their names on products and sell their item.
but if you need some kind of evidence then here it is. cutting boost does nothing for fuel usage because now all that is happening is less air coming in same amount of fuel as before when there was boost. they advanced the timing because when you actually apply boost you need to retard the timing in order to prevent detonation. if you dont advance the timing when you take it back off then the motor will dog and you will get really ****ty performance and what does that do for cobb's rep? you act like cobb knows everything which i guess is ok for you to assume. you leave it up to others when you cant do stuf like this yourself! but thats ok. i actually have this avp1 or whatever its called because it came with my sti and its crap. i would never spend 500 or whatever on this piece. but you go ahead. since you know more than i do and feel the need to put me down.
oh and by the way for anyone who wonders i am aem ems standalone with a/f and boost control from the unit. thats the RIGHT way to tune your car. any questions can be directed towards me via pm. thanks
