quick question on the cobb AP - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums

jshinwrx · 02-23-2007, 05:26 PM

hey everyone who have the Cobb Ap. how do you guys like it? i am planning on buying one by march 9 and it seems to me a lot of wrx uses it. i want to know if you think it is very much worth the money. 695 dollars. is it going to be useful for every car setup i will do. Example (bigger turbo)

in my honest opinion find yourself a used one. Not sure what year car you have but if it's anything less than an 06 you can usually find a v1 for around $450.

The V1 is a fine choice as I have yet to read of any engine performance advantages over the V2. The V2 does flash much faster.

Do not buy an accessport, it's a rip off.

For 116$, you can have a much better set up.

Get a tactrix cable and go with XPT maps, look here:http://www.plasmatize.com/xptstore/

I have the V1. A marry / unmarry on my 2004 WRX takes 12 - 13 minutes. The STi takes even longer. A base map switch once married takes 2 maybe 3 minutes - never timed it. A real time switch is maybe 20 - 30 seconds.
