    Personally would skip the cobb accessport.. You can install a turbo back exhaust and get a protune for cheaper than purchasing an accessport you dont necessarily need.

    Accessports are awesome down the mod path a ways when multiple maps for different fuels come into play, but for just stage 2 it can be a waste.

    for most users.. plug, flash, and go is nice. Don't have to download software, find the correct maps online. Buy the maps. Buy the cable. Figure out how to use a few different software programs...

    Accessport is to Mac as Romraider is to Windows in my opinion.

    That was my point as well. Im a firm believer in a protune and that would mean $550 for an accessport + $300-$500 on a protune which doesn't make sense at the Stage 2 level unless big growth is in the plans. OTS maps are cool and convenient just not the best option in my opinion

    You're all wrong. Who needs tuning?

    Very true. Goals are everything. And set a fairly firm goal. Otherwise you may start down the path of least resistance and end up paying more in the long run
